[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1900727, member: 4235"] And who do you believe wrote the Law of Moses again? God, isn't it? Who is one and the same as Jesus Christ? In the New Testament, when talking to the Pharisees and Sadjucees, Jesus quoted the law and referred to it as the word of God (he mostly used it to highlight the differences between God's word and man-made traditions and laws). And then there is 2 Timothy 3:16 -- "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Being that this epistle was written at a time when much of the New Testament had not even been written down yet, what scriptures do you think he is referring to? So as for those parts of the Mosaic Law which require stoning, killing, etc., either they are the Word of the one perfect and holy God and were at least morally acceptable at that time and under those circumstances; or they were just written by a bunch of uncivilized, collectivist, nomadic tribal bronze-age savages who weren't much different than other civilizations at the time. Everyone will just have to decide for themselves which is the more likely explanation. I will say that if more than a handfull of Jews actually attempted to live by their holy scriptures as much as some of these Muslims do by theirs, we would have just as big of a problem with Jewish terrorism and violence as we do with Muslims, and Israel would be one of the most repressive regimes on earth right up there with Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, UAE, and Iran. It is purely their failure to follow their own holy scriptures that allows them to have a freer society than what we see throughout most of the Muslim world. Though even if Israel did start living under the Law of Moses and started stoning infidels and rape victims and whatnot, I still think most Americans would support whatever they did regardless, judging by most people's attitudes toward that country.
