The Bible is Peaceful.

Hello again, let me start off by saying that I'm Muslim so that you understand my POV. I assume you believe that Jesus Christ is God himself, so we could conclude (according to your beliefs) that when God ordered Moses to kill all the women, men and male children that it was Jesus Christ giving that order. "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. "But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves. "And you, camp outside the camp seven days; whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves, you and your captives, on the third day and on the seventh day. (Numbers 31:17-19) According to the Bible most Christians should be killed because of one simple law. For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. (Exodus 31:15) Verse 8-9 make the prohibition. We know Christianity is a reformed religion with continuous changes and corruption, but the law of the LORD is perfect. That doesn't make sense. The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. (Psalm 19:7) The Bible even orders us to kill non-believers explicitly throughout the book, even if this non-believer is your own son, daughter or brother. If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods "do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12) Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases"you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. (Deuteronomy 13:13-19) If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky" Take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-7) They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chron 15:12-13) The Bible also orders people to stone anyone who curses their parents. All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:9) What about adultery? If a man commits adultery with another man's wife - with the wife of his neighbor - both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10) Same applies to homosexuality. If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:13) Jesus Christ himself said that he didn't come with peace in the Bible. Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn"A man against his father,a daughter against her mother,a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man"s enemies will be the members of his own household." (Matthew 10:34-36) This is repeated in a more violent way in Luke. "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." (Luke 12:49-53) So what we understand from Jesus is that the Bible is definitely not a book of peace, but a book of the sword. Either Jesus didn't come with peace or he's lying. The Bible allows slavery in a horrible way, this is why Christian nations allowed slavery for so long. When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21) Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly . (Leviticus Chapter 25:44) That servant who knows his master"s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows. (Luke 12:47) Jesus who is God according to you also cursed a tree because it wasn't the season of the fruit. The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it. (Mark 11:12-14) So instead of making the tree grow, he curses it. Jesus apparently also strikes children to death. "So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (Revelation 2:22-23)" This means actual children. Proof that this refers to children: http://www.answering-christianity.com... Jesus also ordered his followers to buy swords, adding to the what he said coming with a sword and not with peace. "He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. (Luke 22:36)" The OT gives us some more insight on nonsensical violence. However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. (Deuteronomy 20:16) Jesus also wanted to see executions happen in front of him. (Luke 19:27) "And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me." What is the punishment for having sex with animals. If a man has sex with an animal, he must be put to death, and the animal must be killed. (Leviticus 20:15) It is common sense that there is a death penalty for this, but the Bible also commands us to kill the animal. Why? The Bible tells us that daughters of priests who perform fornication should be burned to death. Also the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by harlotry, she profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire. (Leviticus 21:9) No comment here. Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18) Instead of telling us to ask for forgiveness, Jesus tells us to destroy ourselves. If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell. (Matthew 18:7-9) Women are not allowed to teach men. This means that female teachers are not allowed according to the Bible. Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent. (1 Timothy 2) God orders to kill men, women, children and animals. "Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." (1 Samuel 15:3) The Bible is a book of destruction. That's what I understand from the book.
