I don't know how to get you to understand, it is NOT a religion. It was said several times by different people in response to the OP that it is NOT a religion yet you keep saying it is. Even the OP acknowledged their mistake and said it wasn't yet you keep saying it is over and over. I really don't know what sources you've been using because nobody with half a brain says it's a religion.
You mention rape, well that's something god does tell people to do in the Old Testament. He orders on numerous accounts for people to tear apart a village and keep the women and children for slave and raping. Just because you haven't read the Old Testament doesn't mean it's not there. |
Okay it's not a religion....Like I said, I know very few things about it. Well whatever it is, from what I know about it so far, I don't agree with it. I will try to read more about what it is so that I can have an educatd opinion.
I will have to ask my pastor where in the Old Testament that is and what it means. I only got saved less than 6 months ago, and since then have been reading mostly the New Testament...I am trying to read the Old Testament too, but have a harder time understanding it. So, I will ask a pastor or someone involved in my church what that is referring to. But reguardless, yes the Old Testament is there- But we have to remember that it is BEFORE Jesus died. Therefor, things have changed since then. I believe in the bible 100%, both the new and the old testament; but we have to read it in the context which it was written. I REALLY REALLY doubt that God wants those things today. I will look more into where that is in the bible and study it and get back to you on that one.
