The Old Testament is not Outdated.

Ok, now that I have time, I'll write the rebuttal for 4. "Actually amigo, it would be like this: Person 1: What do you want to eat? And you can't change your mind! Person 2: McDonalds Person 1: OK *Drives to McDonalds* (Giant meteor hurdles toward earth and turns McDonald into a crater) Person 2: Maybe we should go to Jack in the crack? Person 1: What? I told you not to! Person2: Dude, Micky D's is a crater! Person 1: Well, I guess we should eat dirt from the ground where McDonald used to be. Person 2: you have fun with that (Drives off)" But God would have foreseen the meteor, would he not? Nonetheless, all you have done is given Person 2 a reason to change his mind. The fact remains that he changed his mind. "Yes, they are." So Judaism is still a viable religion? "Well, it was, back in the day, it was called "debtors prison", either way, you owe money and you can't pay, you should have to work to pay it off." Sure, but not as a slave. "They didn't "own" them, they just had to work to pay off a debt" No, they did "own" them. That's what a slave is. Leviticus 25:44 describes buying and selling slaves, which is what you do with property, aka, something you own. Verse 46 even specifically says "can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." Notice how it said "fellow Israelites"? Foreigners could be treated anyway their musters liked. Anyway, not all of permitted slavery was simply to pay off a debt. And besides, paying off a debt via slavery was a choice. The bible also says that if a slave marries someone, he must remain a slave to stay with them (Exodus 21:2-5). This is just wrong, to stay a slave to be with someone you love? Furthermore, Exodus 21:20 says: "Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." Notice the word "if". Beating your slave was fine unless he died of a result, which masters would rarely do anyway. "Well, I got a few ideas: *Hanging (to break the neck)" One that wasn't around until the Middle Ages, plus it isn't too much better. No, it was around back then. The bible mentions plenty of times of people being hung from trees etc. Even Judas hung himself. If done properly, you would die instantly. "*Stabbing" where? Heart, head. You would be dead within 30 seconds, *Cutting throat sounds horrible So? So does all killing. "*Poison" what poison, Jimpson weed? Oh no, that's in America, hemlock, no, that's in Europe, in fact I don't know of any plants that grow natively to Canaan, let alone poisonous ones there sure is a lot of stones though. etc Ok then, disregard that one. "Maybe we should." Holy Sh... "Hey, everyone knows not to kill babies to Bail!" Now we do. They didn't. "Yes it is!" HOLY SHI... "God doesn't enforce his will on others, the people Jesus healed WANTED to be healed, those guys, they WANTED to get STD's, otherwise they wouldn't have done it." O_o People back then didn't even know about STD's. They didn't even know about germs and viruses. What your saying is entirely idiotic. "Well, they could've, but they didn't, god sent them warnings, like everyone else, but they didn't listen." No he didn't. In fact, the Gibeonites had to trick Joshua so they could live, and even they went into slavery after they were found out. "They got warning." No they didn't "Yeah, and just lok, mules cannot breed with other mules! They're steril! Poor unick's!" So? Mules are used for work, not breeding. "GMO's amigo!" You're a g*ddamn idiot "It was a prophecy of GMO's and for Jews now todays to not eat them!" You're a g*ddamn idiot "Oh, I'm sorry cancerous tummors!" You're still an g*ddman idiot. A tummor IS cancer. "Te law against GMO's was not relevant then, but is today, the "no mixed cloth thing" will be releveant later." How!? The idiocy is over 9000!!! "Obcourse, it is unhealthy." How? "There is a very good reason for that amigo: TRIGINOSIS, PIN WORMS, COLESTOROL, FAT, ugh, doesn't sound so good for you Amigo." Stop calling me amigo or I'll do a full-frontal western shootout with you. Besides, I've eaten pork and I've never had problems with any of these. Neither have most of the population (otherwise they'd be banned by the FDA...but I'm sure you would pull a conspiracy theory out of your *** to account for that). "Hey, that is my buisness, but yes." My full full sympathy is with you, "Why would anyone work on sundays? What kind of nut case would pass off a day off? Besides, it was actualy saturday, oh yeah, and it says to "remember the sabbath and keep it holly"" I don't know, maybe something needs done on the one day you don't have usual work? "it only says not to shave the little hairs near your ear, you know?" SO WHAT? Why is that a law?! Will I become medically abnormal if I shave my hairs near my ears? NOT. BLOODY. RELEVANT. P.S. If you want, I'll do a GMO's debate with you.
