Watch out adulterers!!

Leviticus

20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

20:14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

20:15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

20:16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

20:17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people : he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

20:18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

20:19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.

20:20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

20:21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

20:22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

20:24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land , and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.

20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus 21:9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the *****, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

I asked similar questions to a christian and he said
no we only need to accept Jesus as God and the rest is not Important so i said what happened to this passage?
Jesus said
------------------------------------
follow the commandements
--------------------------
he said it was a parable

[rocam]

The word parable is their escape goat You are right Jesus wanted his flowers to follow the commandments.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven

[-thetruth_]

007.145 "And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all matters, both commanding and explaining all things, (and said): 'Take and hold these with firmness, and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in the precepts'..

these ones suffice to say that anyone who make images of god is commiting a grave sin
-------------------------------
3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

17:22: Do not associate another deity with God.
47:19: Know therefore that there is no god but God.

4-6: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth...

. 6:103: No visions can encompass Him, but He encompasses all visions.
14:35: My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me and my children from worshiping idols.
42:11: There is nothing that equals (like) Him.

how can God the Almighty suddently becomes a flesh?

[Theja]

So much misunderstanding......

The children of Israel came out of Egypt, and God had to rid the Egyptian system and philosophy in their minds. Not easy to change culture.

Now before entering Canaan, God had to enforce 'Morality and holiness' code in their midst.

Because of all these shameful practices, God is going to evict the Canaanites (Leviticus 18:24-30).
-------------------------------------------------

These rules apply within a close-knit society of Israelites. To prepare the way of the messiah so He could fulfil the law and bring redemption to the world. It applies only within the Israelite community in their own country. But once they are in another country, the death penalty is no longer in force but the moral philosophy remains.

When the Messiah finally came and completed His mission, the temple and levitical services became irrelevant, as evidenced by the conversion of many priests (Acts 6:7). Now no one is tied to a particular geopraphical location to truly worship God (John 4:21-24).

-------------------------------------------------

The sad part is that Islam blindly imitated some Jewish laws (cutting off hands, stoning to death, flogging) without realizing that the physical punishments were enforced only to strengthen the Israelite community, who are called to be different from the pagan nations around them. Later the MORAL code should remain, but the physical enforcement were abandoned.

--------------------------------------

Theja...BRAVO! What an insight. Really! Your answer shows a tremendous knowledge and excessive mastery of history and religious concepts, not only about the Judeo-Christian tradition, but the Islamic one as well. Do you hold a degree in theology by any chance?
