I wasn't making an argument, I was asking a question. A question you didn't answer. A question you probably can't answer. I know that #11 was an Old Testament rule. I said that in my post. Did you read my post? Are you comfortable with the English language? If so, take a crack: tell me how #11 *ever* made sense, even before Christ. |
The part highlined in orange is is where you started the argument. That statement was meant to tear down the credability of christians by making them look stupid. I'm sorry but that doesn't fly.
Now, lets go back to your point on #11. Lets remeber first of all that this is the old testament, this was before Jesus. People in the old testament had to give sacrifices in order to "cleanse" their souls on a regular basis because all men (meaning mankind) are sinners. The sacrifice was a symbol of your repentance. When Jesus was crucified, he became the human sacrifice. Thus eliminateing the need for animal sacrifices. You need to realize that things were a lot more strict before Jesus came. A wife touching another man's genitles would have been considered adultry to the Jewish people in that time period. Rather than be "killed" by God, they would want to cut off their hand. You must realize that most of the old testament laws were talored to the time period and the Jewish people.
