Do you believe GOD wrote the bible?!?!?

Then what about this passages? How can an all loving perfect GOD want everyone killed for stupid reasons (the real list is way longer)

Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

Kill Witches

You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)

Kill Homosexuals

"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

Kill Fortunetellers

A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)

Death for Hitting Dad

    Hey... I am glad to see someone who does some thinking on your own!!!! here is a few more for you to keep in mind!!

    The Bible was written by some clever religious perverts to control and later to make money on people’s religious gullibility!!! The Bible God favored the Levi family to be the only family of priests collecting ALL the tithes and offerings in Israel... Later on this privilege was shifted to the ruling clergy of your favorite Christian brand…

    There is plenty of evidence in the Bible that regardless of any “free will” the Bible GOD COULD HAVE PREVENTED Eve from touching a fruit from the wrong tree simple because God is love! But taking a closer look into God’s morality becomes obvious that God is an outright pervert who loves to kill people by the bushels just for the heck of it to satisfy his unique sadistic pleasure! God already had a Hell and a Devil created for the “ungodly” before Eve ever touched the “forbidden fruit”. There is not a single “Guardian Angel” or anybody watching over EVE to protect NOT ONLY HER but the WHOLE HUMAN RACE from going to Hell. The “Guardian Angel” idea works only in the minds of a full tithe paying member of a State recognized tax exempt church!

    God PREVENTED that anybody would kill Cain for murdering Abel by placing a “Hands OFF” mark on him! God could have done something similar to protect Eve from touching the forbidden fruit! I wonder if anybody knows what I mean… Most Christians choose not to understand what I am saying!

    God PREVENTED Abraham from slashing his son Isaac’s throat. God has no power to know everything ahead of time and has to see it happening. That’s OK! More power to Peeping-tom God! In the same manner God could have prevented Eve from touching the forbidden fruit!

    God personally PREVENTED the Heathen King Abimelech from having sex with Abraham sister/wife Sarah "so King Abimelech wouldn't sin against God". God was present in the Royal Bedroom chambers to PREVENT some questionable sexual activity that this king might have enjoyed with anybody so that he wouldn't "sin" against God! But God is nowhere to be seen near Eve or his untouchable fruit tree to prevent that the WHOLE HUMAN RACE that he loves so much go to be tormented for ever and ever in a sulfuric burning Lake of Hell Fire. It doesn’t take too many neurons in anybody’s mind to figure out that the Bible writers were a bunch of perverts creating a God so full of crap for everybody to worship!!!

    Genesis 20:2-6 …and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, "She is my sister."* (*incest was allowed all along “until Moses changed it”) Then Abimelech king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her. But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night* (*only God knows how many nights he was watching this king perform in his bedroom) and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman.”* (*it would have been perfectly OK if she had no husband!) Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?* (*God and the Heathen King discuss National Security issues in a dream!!! Too bad CNN was not there to interview the King!) Did he not say to me, `She is my sister,' and didn't she also say, `He is my brother'?* (*can you imagine a holy man of God handing his sister/wife for the unrestricted sexual pleasure of this Heathen king?) I HAVE DONE THIS WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE AND CLEAN HANDS." Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience* (*so as long as you do it with a clear conscience and clean hands you can’t possibly sin against God and go to Hell), and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her.”* (*God never changes! So now you know that if you are having problems with any new sex partner maybe God is there preventing you from sinning… So make sure you keep Viagra handy!)

    Can you imagine the Bible God Creator of this humongous Universe peeping-tom into your bedroom to find out what kind of sexual activities you are planning for tonight? BUT HE IS SO RETARDED NOT WATCHING EVE or do anything like setting up a “flaming sword flashing back and forth” TO PREVENT EVE FROM eating the forbidden fruit like he did around the tree of life. Was it a set up to send the whole human race to HELL for God’s personal enjoyment? And to have God the Son Jesus Christ slaughtered to save a few Christian who would “believe”? All this makes the Bible God a first class deranged pervert!!! God could have done the same peeping tom spying on Lucifer to find out about his plans to overthrow him in that scantly documented revolution mentioned in the Bible… but God didn’t do it! Or maybe he did it and it was all a set up to come up with the Devil idea? So God created Lucifer with the ability to become the Devil before Eve ever touched the forbidden fruit and so God was eagerly creating Hell, too for his enjoyment!

    Compare the story of King Abimelech and Sarah to the story of King David and Bathsheba… They committed adultery of the kinkiest kind. After she was done having sex with King David she was probably drenched in royal sperm so she took a shower to "purify herself" (2 Sam 11:4). She became pregnant while God was watching. No sin here. King David had to kill her husband to keep her. Bathsheba became King David’s favorite wife. God (NOT SATAN) had the baby boy killed so he won’t be in the way! Later on, Bathsheba mothered King Solomon the greatest granddad of Jesus! God was watching King David all along, but he didn’t do anything to stop him from having sex with Bathsheba or when King David had her husband killed to keep Bathsheba for himself! While God stopped the lost Heathen King Abimelech from having sex with Sarah so he won’t sin against God??? Isn’t this a despicable conduct of the scummiest sort? You can only read it in the Holy Bible. The clergy has no explanation other than God knows best! He did it for a purpose! And so on…

    We are told in the Bible that God was pleased to send his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to be thoroughly beaten, tenderized and deeply marinated in Roman spit as prep for crucifixion to pay for the "original sin" of Eve eating from the forbidden fruit. I’m sure that God the Son Jesus Christ must have asked his retarded Heavenly Father, “Hey Dad, wouldn’t have been easier to stop Eve from eating the forbidden fruit?” He must have asked this question while sweating blood praying in the Garden of Gethsemane dead scared of dying for anybody! The whole Bible Theology is so screwed up that it is no joke! The problem is that hardly anybody reads the Bible objectively… Most preachers tell you that the Bible doesn’t mean what it says and needs to be interpreted by men of God full of the Holy Ghost and BS!

    Bottom line: The Bible God is a confirmed peeping-tom pervert capable of preventing a Heathen King from having sex with Abraham’s old sister/wife so this lost Heathen king won’t sin against God, but God is not interested at all in preventing Eve from eating of the forbidden fruit that has the penalty of sending the whole human race to Hell!!! Is the Christian God mentally retarded or just a sadistic pervert?

    BTW… Abraham’s sister/wife Sarah was about age 90. This fact alone must have made the whole sexual tryst worth watching… Hey, I give God some credit. So don’t get me wrong! I am open minded, too…

    We as mankind simply do not understand 'Holiness and Sacredness'.

    All of these evils only came into the world through the manipulations of the fallen angels anyway. So they have no place in the Creator's perfect world. Who are we to complain or try to tell the Creator what he should or should not do with HIS creation. His ways are simply far above 'our' ways. Most of the above listed things like tapping into the supernatural realms for hidden knowledge, is decepetive knowledge from Familiar and Seducing spirits. As for homosexuality...if that had been the right way or even acceptable in a perfect world, mankind would not have reproduced and 'filled the earth'.

    As for striking a parent...'Honour thy Father and Mother'. To do so is rebellion against the Creator's perfect way.

    Do not confuse 'Religion' with the Creator's truth's. Religion is merely mind manipluation and control from the man-chosen priesthood's which are Babylonian in origin. The Esene's and the OT Levites were following the Creator's guidlines.

    All of you people complicate things way too much. All I have to say about this is use your heads. Of course God didn't physically write the Bible. He inspired people, and they wrote their testimonies of what they experienced and knew. Of course there's going to be errors in it. It was passed down for years for crying out loud. And it has been retranslated thousands of times. I'm not saying the Bible is not true, I am saying that there is a lot of confusion out there, and if you really want to know something then why don't you ask the source of all truth instead of a bunch of Yahoos?

  • First of all, God Himself did not write the Bible. Those who did were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

    Secondly, those are all Old Testament examples. When Christ was crucified on the cross, we were no longer bound by that law. I follow the New Testament. Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't recall any examples so harsh in the New Testament.... correct me if I am wrong.

    No. Some people who thought they were God did. Or thought they knew God. Maybe they did. Probably didn't, though.

    Whoever did write it was a very very wise person, but also, in my opinion, didn't have everything quite right.

    Who would KILL someone for their personal choice?

    Why would God create a man that is homosexual just to get him killed for being just that?

    Someone seems a little off to me...

    The best way for me to express my disagreement in the most respectful way possible to people who believe that a perfect God wrote that book is to say.....All or nothing. There is no picking and choosing. I often hear the excuse "what is bound on earth is bound in heaven" that is why we don't follow the certain parts of Gods word. I always wondered how Gods word being as all knowing as God is wouldn't remain perfect and totally applicable in 2008. The fact is it isn't perfect. It isn't infallible. It is outdated. It isn't applicable in this day and age. Take out the good parts and throw the rest away. That is what you are doing anyway. (I exclude the extremists)

    Peace to you.

    No, God didn't write the bible. His prophets did.

    The scriptures you are quoting are from the Old Testament. Different dispensation, different laws. When Jesus came, those laws were replaced by the Gospel.

    But the, you don't ask to know, you just ask to trash believers. Good luck with everything.

    Yes I believe that God wrote the bible...or at least sent it down. But the bible has been changed by so many people and re-written to suit them, that we dont even know wot the tru bible is anymore. Thats where the problems come from. Its people that have written so much of the bible...so we are getting their opinions.

    2 Peter 1:21

    For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

  • God wrote the Bible?

    Good grief no, obviously not.

    If a god had written it it wouldn't be so terribly bad.

  • 1 decade ago

    Good grief, get out of the Old Testament. The New Testament is what is in force today.
