Originally posted by @sonshipI would have thought that most sceptics would simply think what ghastly times they seemed to be back then and marvel at how there are people in the 21st century still obsessing over a mythology rooted in such dark and depraved stuff.
Many skeptics are eager to point out some harsh penalty in Leviticus to the sinner.
Originally posted by @sonshipDo you believe the people of Israel literally existed as described in Leviticus?
The offerings in the book of Leviticus are symbolic of various aspects of Christ as the One through whom man can contact and enjoy God.
Since Christ replaced all of the offerings as their anti-type the best treatments of [b]Leviticus explore how the offerings point to different aspects of Christ.
Also important in Leviticus is the structure ...[text shortened]... gs. And you have the dwelling place of God in the Tent of Meeting (which became the tabernacle).[/b]
Do you believe Moses actually existed and that people actually carried out the punishments of the Law?
Originally posted by @thinkofoneI understand your question. Evidently you didn't understand my response.
[b]That's the way it goes with bigots. They have simplistic and juvenile eyes.
That means you, since you seem so slow on the uptake.[/b]I must say you are and FMF have taken two different roads to the OT. FMF took the honest road and rejected Christianity because what he found in the OT was repugnant. You decide to take the road of denial and deny the OT ever existed. I find it odd that I am the only person here who is willing to call you on it. I guess the others find siding with me equally repugnant.
Originally posted by @eladarNot so, Eladar. You're making this up. I have been very clear about how I lost my faith. If you have a post or posts of mine - just one will do - where I said anything remotely like I "rejected Christianity because what [I] found in the OT", then copy paste it here.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerWe discussed it in as much detail as I thought appropriate. Several times. Did you feel personally entitled to know more?

Originally posted by @fmfYou said you gave up your faith in Christianity based on the genocide ordered by God. You believed this to be evil.
Not so, Eladar. You're making this up. I have been very clear about how I lost my faith. If you have a post or posts of mine - just one will do - where I said anything remotely like I "rejected Christianity because what [I] found in the OT", then copy paste it here.
Originally posted by @eladarsonship has delivered - here on this forum - the most cogently argued and erudite defence - according to his Christian beliefs - of what the Jews did to their adversaries in the OT, probably, that I have ever read or heard outside a published source. He has done the same with a defence/explanation of slavery. I think you are just making stuff up about sonship as well.
As for sonship, he won't even recognize that they happened because that isn't consistant with his Jesus God.

Originally posted by @fmfSo sonship admits that his God ordered genocide? He is cool with a good God demanding innocent women and children be slaughtered?

OK.
