<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question ✝

- How should sinners be punished biblically? Do we take the Hardline approach of stonings, millstones, and the such or mercy and repentance?

If you read the bible you know you don't stone or drown people for punishment other than as a tenet of the jewish laws which were abrogated (if you are Christian).

Legal punishment is a matter for civil government and ought to be administered through said government in an orderly and civilized manner

@el pebble The law is not abrogated, it is simply uninforcable in Judaism in the traditional means because the Sanhedrin does not exist as the Temple does not currently exist

it is abrogated in christianity because Christ said so

In Romans Paul writes that we are not slaves to the Law but we should still try to uphold the Law (10 Commandments) knowing that we fall short, because that is the command of God. Without the Law being a curb, mirror, and guide, and showing that we deserve Hell, Death and Damnation, the wonder of God's gift-forgiveness of sins, salvation and Life everlasting would be lost.

- What is the purpose of the Old Testament for Christians? Do we take it as important as the New or is it purely for context?

it's just context

although

i think that it does describe God's expectation for us

The old testament is crazy

I don't know ☹

@Riley The Tanakh is G-d's holy pure word

I know this question does not apply to me as a non-Christian

But i will say that I believe it is purest word of G-d and deserves all recognition- both the written and oral Torah

@G a b e גבריאל lmfao your God is evil

the old testament should be holy to christians

burned two whole cities down, killed every first born in Egypt, and uhh...killed everyone on Earth except like 8 people

how loving and forgiving

hehe

Your God sounds more like satan

@Riley its funny you mention that because their God has all the qualifying features of the Beast

the bible even says it

HOLY SHIT THIS MEANS JEWS WORSHIP SATAN

<:jerry:553491235017326617>

it means they all worship satan

jews and christians

what about muslims

I dont think they follow YHWH

yea but their God is still pretty evil

read this

Revelation 13:16
Exodus 13:16

**Revelation 13:16 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<16> And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand, or on their foreheads. ```

**Exodus 13:16 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<16> And it shall be as a sign in thy hand, and as a thing hung between thy eyes, for a remembrance: because the Lord hath brought us forth out of Egypt by a strong hand. ```

The top one describes the indoctrination by the Beast while the bottom is the worship of the Lord

despite being the exact same verse

Hosea 13:7-8
Revelation 13:2

**Hosea 13:7-8 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<7> And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians. <8> I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them. ```

**Revelation 13:2 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<2> And the beast, which I saw, was like to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength, and great power. ```
