How many sins in the bible does it command its adherents to execute the sinner? There aren't many, but homosexuality is one of them. It does not condemn the other rules in such a strict manner. In fact, had you read the bible, you'd know Jesus overruled many of the old testament rules, such as eating shellfish. Not so with homosexuality. You'd know this if you didn't learn everything about christianity from reddit.

I'm guessing you're referring to Leviticus 20:13...which at most forbids cumming into a man's anus, and quite likely is only forbidding adultery with a married man.

If I give you a word-for-word translation you'll see it says something very different from what you know.

וְאִישׁ: and a man

אֲשֶׁר: who

יִשְׁכַּב: will lie

אֶת־: with

זָכָר: a male

מִשְׁכְּבֵי: the lyings of

אִשָּׁה: a woman

That last part is radically different from what I see printed in every Bible. This isn't just me either, Jews know this too. The churches deliberately changed it to what they want it to say. Even the interlinear straight up lies about מִשְׁכְּבֵי. This isn't even the only place they do this. Pretty much any time there's a potential conflict with the mainstream doctrine, you will find a "minor adjustment" in nearly every translation.

I don't know. About 30?

at least:

  1. blasphemy
  2. violating the Sabbath
  3. refusing to accept a court's ruling
  4. cursing one's parents
  5. rebellion against parents
  6. approaching the tabernacle whenever it is to move, while not being a Levite
  7. adultery
  8. homicide (excluding negligent homicide)
  9. to strike/attack/smite one's parents
  10. kidnapping
  11. witchcraft and divination
  12. bestiality
  13. worshiping other gods
  14. child sacrifice
  15. incest (various kinds, with differences for men and women)
  16. male homosexual intercourse
  17. harlotry while being the daughter of a priest
  18. coming near to the priesthood while being an outsider
  19. promoting the worship of other gods
  20. living a town that worships other gods
  21. maliciously giving false testimony accusing another person of having committed a capital offence
  22. not being provably a virgin, while still in your fathers house
  23. intercourse with an engaged/betrothed virgin girl
  24. intercourse as an engaged/betrothed virgin girl, and not crying out for help
  25. owning an ox that kills someone, if that ox has gored people in the past

There aren't many

How big a fucking list do you need to call it "many"? You haven't read the bible, have you?

In fact, had you read the bible, you'd know Jesus overruled many of the old testament rules, such as eating shellfish

You are correct. I don't know that part where Jesus talks about shellfish. Please cite me the book and verse.

You'd know this if you didn't learn everything about christianity from reddit.

Oh, the irony.

Wrong. Try again. Only a handful of those are people commanded to execute the sinner. The others are stories on just what happened.

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Oh really? Which ones are stories of what happened? And where did Jesus talk about shellfish?

The US is dying and you faggots are gonna burn. No empire turns their back on God and lives long.

I get that you haven't read the Bible.

That's fine. Most Christians haven't.

You know that Jews don't eat shellfish, and you know you do, so you assumed that Jesus must have mentioned shellfish.

You're wrong, and that's fine.

But you know that you are homophobic, but you're less vehement about violating the Sabbath or not obeying a court's ruling of you disagree with it. So you assume that your book must justify your hatred and selfishness.

You're wrong. And that's not fine. You're doing evil.

[–]Gaslov 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Read Mark and fuck off. I'm not doing more than that for you. You and the vulptex fag can enjoy hell together.

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Read your Bible and fuck whatever you want.

Which we both know is a big strong hairy man who's going to treat you like the bitch you are.

This is all fake crap. The priests and scribes wrote it during the Babylonian exile and lied and told everyone it was authentic. Then it was integrated in their religious books, along with even just their old civil laws and customs.

Jeremiah's book is older than the books of "Moses", and it even complains about this in chapters 7-8. The forgery it would've been referring to is the book we now call Deuteronomy. The others came even later. Unfortunately most translations "aid" the reader by inserting one extra word in chapter 7 to cover up the fact that it claims all commandments regarding sacrifices are fake, because that would mean that one of the church's favorite doctrines, inerrancy, is false.

Nevertheless, if you're going to be a biblical fundamentalist, then these are some of the crimes for which the bible says the penalty should be death.

[–]Vulptex 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's impossible to be a biblical fundamentalist because of all the contradictions.

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm often impressed with how religious people can believe completely irrational things. There's no contradiction that can't be dissolved, not even a omniscient, omnipotent, and all loving entity that created child cancer. (And gender dysphoria in the bible belt).
