Christianity is just as bad as Islam

I hope you did not use the NAB Bible for all those sources because it's a catholic bible. The only credible Bible's the major sects of Christianity use are the NASB or the KJV. That aside I shall address them nevertheless. First up is Exodus 22:17 Which is 22:18 but all the same. The verse does say to not suffer a witch to live, the verse around are restating laws that God had put forth. Do not have sexual relations with an animal, don't steal, kill, swindle, lie with a single female and the punishment is either repay twice that or be put to death (It is clear which is a death offense). However The part about the witch is clustered in with other verses saying Witches and people who sacrifice (animal sacrifice) to other Gods shall be put to death BY LAW. These verse are different because the act of witchcraft and sacrificing are in alignment with Staten's will, you know God's enemy, so like in every war people are going to pick sides and the people who do witchcraft and sacrifice (to other gods) are God's enemy's, essentially. That does not mean go all Salem witch hunt on them. The Bible is also very clear that people should forgive if the sinner (aka everyone) confesses and wishes to do right by God. God does not just go around smiting people Willy-nilly he dose give them a period to turn around and repent. Israel learns this the hard way, multiple times. The same goes for Homosexuality, it is a perversion of the body. The rear was not meant for such defilement nor is it acceptable of women either. There is a reason man are made differently from women and was not so we could have a choice of our favorite. Fortune tellers are in the same boat as witches. A demon's hand always plays a part in it. The children one is talking about one's that for years and years disobey willing and knowingly against their parents. it is talking about a long time this child just refuses to obey. Kids today would obey if their parents did more but it is talking about when good parents can not control that kid. It might also be talking and disowning which figuratively means the same thing. And keep in mind this was a time where saying that the earth was not the center of the galaxy is heresy, different times. the entire town thing is also in the same boat as the others that deal with God trying to protect his people from being tempted by other people and nations to do wrong against God. Which everytime Israel does not follow these commandments they always fall into a horrible pit of despair and sin. I don't see how Matthew 5:17 says what you are trying to make it say. The verse is talking about now that Jesus has come to die for their sins they do not need to follow the law to get into "heaven". It is complicated but before Jesus came their was a system set up to forgive the people of their sins and the following the laws was one of them. Which goes to show the intelligence of God and the weakness of humans. God knew humans can't keep ANY of the laws but it was a way for God to show humans that the only way to get to heaven was because God sent his son to die not because humans can achieve perfection. Though the bible does say "Kill everyone" there is always a form of mercy before in that God always offers a way out before hand but once the die is cast than there is no mercy afterwards. However the Quran is quite specific that there is to be no mercy no quartering and generally no civil behavior just kill unbelievers, die in a jihad, and collect your virgins upon entering. Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16) Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end." "And if you be apprehensive that you will not be able to do justice to the orphans, you may marry two or three or four women whom you choose. But if you apprehend that you might not be able to do justice to them, then marry only one wife, or marry those who have fallen in your possession". (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 305) Mature men are allowed to marry prepubescent girls. Quran in Sura 65:1, 4 65:1 O Prophet, when you [and the believers] divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed waiting"period and count the waiting"period accurately . . . 4 And if you are in doubt about those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, their waiting period is three months, and the same applies to those who have not menstruated as yet. As for pregnant women, their period ends when they have delivered their burden. Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Those despicable Christians indeed!
