"Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." (Numbers 31:16-18)
"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;" (Deuteronomy 13: 6)
"Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people." (Deuteronomy 13:8-9)
He's probably having his 'belayed' lunch ! Have you noticed he won't be drawn into a discussion on the Millennium. He probably doesn't even know what I'm talking about.
Ok people - biblical education time. The Bible includes biographies, instructions for specific people, prophesies, laws for priests, laws for kings, prayers, etc now to take a commandment that was given to a person say Moses and apply it to the whole world is silly. Some things are applicable to the whole body of believers - say the Ten Commandments, others like the commandment to build a temple was for King Solomon alone. Now lets see what Jesus says to all....
You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies[ and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5 43-48
