The Bible is a good source for morals today

Now, I’ll go straight into rebuttals. Rebuttal to Genocide I just need some clarification here, was this argument written under the assumption that the Bible commands genocide because it’s mentioned in the Bible? Now, contrary to what you seem to think, I am not going to rebut this by saying that the laws were written in a different time. Rather, I would make the call that this argument is irrelevant for two reasons: R1: We are debating over whether or not the Bible is a good source of morals today; not the morality of God Himself. (Although given the circumstances, this could be pursued. ) R2: The Bible does not command genocide. All it really does is say that it was commanded for them, but it doesn’t say anything like: “And all those that worship me will kill anyone who disagrees with them. ” Just because it’s mentioned in the Bible, does not mean it is supposed to be followed as law today. If your argument was not written under the assumption that the Bible commands genocide because it’s mentioned, then we will go further into that later. Rebuttal to Sexism I’ll cover the Old Testament laws pertaining to this in my rebuttal to your argument of the Mosaic Law, but I’ll get to the New Testament here. The above passage (along with several others) is meant to set down the structure of leadership in the church as an organized body. Before I go into detail on this, let me first explain what it’s not saying. The Bible does not say that a woman cannot teach a man about Christ. Priscilla, along with her husband, taught Apollos the way of God more accurately (Acts 18:26). It does not say women cannot exercise spiritual gifts. The four daughters of Phillip had the gift of prophecy (Acts 21:9). 1 Corinthians 14:3 tells us "But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. " Thus prophesy and other gifts can be used between women and men. It does not say that women cannot evangelize. Lydia, after being converted, had regular fellowships in her home and evangelized others. (Acts 16:14,40). So assuming that this verse applies to church structure, and that we’re talking about the Bible being a good set of morals for humanity in general, I believe this point has been rendered moot unless you can show me otherwise. Rebuttal to Barbarity of Mosaic Law. Obviously, I’m going to start with how those laws don’t apply to us today. I see you’ve pulled out Matthew 5:18 to defend your position. However, I ask of you to tell me why you think that it means Mosaic Law. Matthew 7:12 states otherwise. (1)And also, at the beginnings of the law books that lay out the Mosaic Laws, just read them; you’ll find that Moses specifically addressed only the children of Israel; not Christians, because that was many thousands of years before Christ even came along. I don’t even think I need to provide sources for that, but I may as well anyway. (1)(2)(3)And your next point has the same relevancy as your argument of the Bible condoning genocide. We are not talking about the morality of God Himself. ConclusionYour arguments do not seem to hold much water. The first one is an assumption that the Bible mentioning something automatically condones it, and the next two appear fairly shaky. That is, unless you can elaborate further and show me otherwise.
