Is It Wrong To Use The Bible As A Standard To Measure What Is Right And Wrong?

[goodlife]

Because a proverb says A bad person will not go unpunished. (Prov. 11:21)

[Kromovaracun]

"Slight correction to the above. God does not kill thousands of people for one person looking into* the Ark"

*I meant touching it.

Argh why do I always fail to proofread stuff like this.

The simple truth about the matter is that you all like Lies

Because you can’t be see the seriousness of lying and bearing false witness, that why the world is like it is

There are many examples in the Bible of those who honored individuals in authority, even when these misused or abused their authority. David was one such fine example. King Saul, under whom he served, became jealous of David’s achievements and sought to kill him. (1 Samuel 18:8-12)

Still, though having opportunities to kill Saul, David said: It is unthinkable, on my part, from Jehovah’s standpoint, to thrust my hand out against the anointed of Jehovah!” (1 Samuel 24:3-6; 26:7-13)

David knew that Saul was in the wrong, but he left it up to Jehovah to judge him. So is the same today, true Christian know when Jehovah day come you will all have the same opportunity as I do, you can’t say I did not know.

[Kromovaracun]

Okay.

So why did Yahweh ask for Saul's family to be murdered?

[Kromovaracun]

"Because you can’t be see the seriousness of lying and bearing false witness, that why the world is like it is "

I take lying very seriously. I am not a liar.

You, however, don't seem to take slandering and insulting people very seriously. How very un-Christian of you.

And now you come on here and insult us, no wonder you never will never convert anybody, people don't like being insulted! Especially by an upstart that will believe all the nonsense he reads in some silly book!!

I've tried to use //Bible As A Standard To Measure What Is Right And Wrong?//
But unfortunately I had to free all my slaves as the police said it was illegal to keep them.
They were also a bit upset at me stoning my children.

[MadMen]

I use the bible as a door stop....

[vulcan42]

Goodlife, when people here quote from the bible to prove something, you come back and quote another part of the bible to prove you are correct. Do you not see that all this proves is that the bible is full of contradictions and therefore cannot be treated as a standard to measure anything.

[RATTER15]

chrisgel, My biggest problem was when I tried selling my Daughter (as suggested in the Bible) I tell you, she wasn't well pleased is an understatement. She now has a child out of wedlock, that is certainly a stoning to death offence!

Kromovaracun-Some have ask: Why did Jehovah react so strongly Uzzah was only trying to save the Ark. Before you draw the wrong conclusion, you do well to note some helpful details.

Keep in mind that Uzzah should have known better.

The Ark was associated with Jehovah’s presence. The Law specified that it was not to be touched by unauthorized individuals, explicitly warning that violators would be punished by death. (Numbers 4:18-20; 7:89)

Therefore, the transfer of that sacred chest was not a task to be treated lightly. Uzzah evidently was a Levite (though not a priest), so he should have been familiar with the Law. Besides, years earlier the Ark had been moved to the house of his father for safekeeping. (1 Samuel 6:20–7:1)

It had stayed there for some 70 years, until David chose to move it. So from childhood on, Uzzah had likely been aware of the laws regarding the Ark.

[Kromovaracun]

Right.

So he deserved to be killed for putting a hand out to steady it because it was 'associated with Jehovah's presence'. Okay then. Frankly, I'm glad we're at a point where such barbaric disproportions are considered immoral. The fact that you have not is the best argument I can think of for ignoring the bible's moral codes.

Had Uzzah been raised to believe that Yahweh was loving and compassionate, I can see why he might have made the mistake of thinking his god was not psychopathic enough to murder him for such a transgression.


I suppose David's baby also deserved to be slowly murdered for the crime of existing, as well.

Yiou should have had her stoned when she started giving your wife all that lip at the age of thirteen (your daughter that is, not your wife). Would have saved you all this subsequent trouble.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Sorry, I was addressing Ratter.

[RATTER15]

vetuste_ennemi

lol, she was very outspoken in those days, Mmm, she still is actually, I will go find some rocks!!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Never too late, Ratter.

Kromovaracun – I am not slandering or lying. I am telling the truth from God’s Word. What do you want me to do? Tell lies !

[lcg]

yes. it's just another fiction classic. and if you need a book to tell you what to do - you are seriously strange.

[Kromovaracun]

Well, I'd like you to stop dishing out insults because people disagree with you, yeah.

[chrisgel]

//What do you want me to do? Tell lies !//

It would be really good if you could just stop and read what you are writing and realise how psychopathic you sound.

[RATTER15]

Goodlife, "I am telling the truth from God’s Word."
and how do you know that Gods word is the truth? and how do you know it is Gods word?

Apart from reading it in a book.
