Why is that anti-Christian, Chuck?
Why shouldn't we use the same measure of the Bible as he is using of the
Koran? It isn't anti-Christian, it is pro-truth.
We need to accept the truth of what is happening instead of feeding the
fires of fear and distrust with half-truth.

Anybody got any questions about these instructions?
Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the
priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil
must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to
death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."
(Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Kill Fortunetellers
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to
death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their
death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus
21:15 NAB)
Death for Cursing Parents
1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the
coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are
guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Death for Adultery
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the
woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
Death for Fornication
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and
thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus
21:9 NAB)
Death to Followers of Other Religions
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed.
(Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Kill Nonbelievers
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 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
Kill False Prophets
If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to
him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of
the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall
thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
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 examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove
that such a detestable act has occurred among you, 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. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never
be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for
destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be
merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great
nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God
will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am
giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night
But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding
night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall
bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her
townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against
Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge
the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Kill Followers of Other Religions
1) 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,
whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations,
near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not
yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or
shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay
him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him
to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all
Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in
your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD
your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God
and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the
sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly
forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If
it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that
man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death.
(Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)
Death for Blasphemy
One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got
into a fight with one of the Israelite men. During the fight, this son
of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name. So the man was brought
to Moses for judgment. His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the
daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in custody until
the LORD's will in the matter should become clear. Then the LORD said to
Moses, "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who
heard him to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community
stone him to death. Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God
will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished. Anyone who
blasphemes the LORD's name must be stoned to death by the whole
community of Israel. Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes
the LORD's name will surely die. (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)
Kill False Prophets
1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about
the future, and they promise you signs or miracles, and the predicted
signs or miracles take place. If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us
worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them. The LORD
your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and
soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his
commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. The false prophets or
dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they
encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of
slavery in the land of Egypt. Since they try to keep you from following
the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among
you. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT)
2) But any prophet who claims to give a message from another god or who
falsely claims to speak for me must die.' You may wonder, 'How will we
know whether the prophecy is from the LORD or not?' If the prophet
predicts something in the LORD's name and it does not happen, the LORD
did not give the message. That prophet has spoken on his own and need
not be feared. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT)
Infidels and Gays Should Die
So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts
desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each
other's bodies. Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about
God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the
things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised
forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires.
Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead
indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal
sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men
did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within
themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. When they refused to
acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do
things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind
of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception,
malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God,
insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of
sinning and are disobedient to their parents. They refuse to understand,
break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. They are fully
aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go
right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to
do them, too. (Romans 1:24-32 NLT)
Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle
For the LORD had said to Moses, 'Exempt the tribe of Levi from the
census; do not include them when you count the rest of the Israelites.
You must put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant,
along with its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle
and its equipment as you travel, and they must care for it and camp
around it. Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will take it
down and set it up again. Anyone else who goes too near the Tabernacle
will be executed.' (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT)
Kill People for Working on the Sabbath
The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people
of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the
covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am
the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy.
Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be
cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must
be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy
day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus
31:12-15 NLT)
Kill Brats
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some
small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead,"
they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he
cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the
woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
God Kills the Curious
And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into
the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and' fifty
thousand men; and the people mourned, because Jehovah had smitten the
people with a great slaughter. And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is
able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up
from us? (1Samuel 6:19-20 ASV)
Killed by a Lion
Meanwhile, the LORD instructed one of the group of prophets to say to
another man, "Strike me!" But the man refused to strike the prophet.
Then the prophet told him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the
LORD, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me." And sure enough,
when he had gone, a lion attacked and killed him. (1 Kings 20:35-36 NLT)
Killing the Good Samaritan
The ark of God was placed on a new cart and taken away from the house of
Abinadab on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab guided the cart,
with Ahio walking before it, while David and all the Israelites made
merry before the Lord with all their strength, with singing and with
citharas, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.When they came to
the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of
God to steady it, for the oxen were making it tip. But the Lord was
angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before
God. (2 Samuel 6:3-7 NAB)
Kill Sons of Sinners
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest
they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with
tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
God Will Kill Children
The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will
die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if
your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will
be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched
Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will
bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request
for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts
that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their wickedness began at Gilgal;
there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of
their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders
are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up;
they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter
their beloved children." (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)
Kill Men, Women, and Children
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the
city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have
no pity! Kill them all - old and young, girls and women and little
children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right
here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders.
"Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the
bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did
as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
God Kills all the First Born of Egypt
And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of
Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the
firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their
livestock were killed. Pharaoh and his officials and all the people of
Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout
the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not
died. (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT)
Kill Old Men and Young Women
"You are my battle-ax and sword," says the LORD. "With you I will
shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter
armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With
you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and
maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen,
captains and rulers. "As you watch, I will repay Babylon and the people
of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done to my people in
Jerusalem," says the LORD. "Look, O mighty mountain, destroyer of the
earth! I am your enemy," says the LORD. "I will raise my fist against
you, to roll you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be
nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be desolate forever. Even your
stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely
wiped out," says the LORD. (Jeremiah 51:20-26)
(Note that after God promises the Israelites a victory against Babylon,
the Israelites actually get their butts kicked by them in the next
chapter. So much for an all-knowing and all-powerful God.)
God Will Kill the Children of Sinners
If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will
inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild
animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your
numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus
26:21-22 NLT)
More Rape and Baby Killing
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 NLT)
More of Samson's Murders
(The Lord saves Sampson from standing trial for 30 murders and arson by
allowing him to kill 1000 more men.) When he reached Lehi, and the
Philistines came shouting to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came upon
him: the ropes around his arms become as flax that is consumed by fire
and the bonds melted away from his hands. Near him was the fresh jawbone
of an ass; he reached out, grasped it, and with it killed a thousand
men. (Judges 15:14-15 NAB)
Peter Kills Two People
There was also a man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold
some property. He brought part of the money to the apostles, but he
claimed it was the full amount. His wife had agreed to this deception.
Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart? You lied to
the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. The
property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling
it, the money was yours to give away. How could you do a thing like
this? You weren't lying to us but to God." As soon as Ananias heard
these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it
was terrified. Then some young men wrapped him in a sheet and took him
out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not
knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, "Was this the price you and
your husband received for your land?" "Yes," she replied, "that was the
price." And Peter said, "How could the two of you even think of doing a
thing like this - conspiring together to test the Spirit of the Lord?
Just outside that door are the young men who buried your husband, and
they will carry you out, too." Instantly, she fell to the floor and
died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried
her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear gripped the entire
church and all others who heard what had happened. (Acts 5:1-11 NLT)
Mass Murder
This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will punish what Amalek
did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go,
now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban.
Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and
sheep, camels and asses.' (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB)
You Have to Kill
Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he who holds back
his sword from blood. (Jeremiah 48:10 NAB)
The Danites Kill the Next Town
But the territory of the Danites was too small for them; so the Danites
marched up and attacked Leshem, which they captured and put to the
sword. Once they had taken possession of Lesham, they renamed the
settlement after their ancestor Dan. (Joshua 19:47 NAB)
God Kills Some More
Then the LORD said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me
pleading for these people, I wouldn't help them. Away with them! Get
them out of my sight! And if they say to you, 'But where can we go?'
tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: Those who are destined for
death, to death; those who are destined for war, to war; those who are
destined for famine, to famine; those who are destined for captivity, to
captivity.' "I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," says
the LORD. "I will send the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, the
vultures to devour, and the wild animals to finish up what is left.
Because of the wicked things Manasseh son of Hezekiah, king of Judah,
did in Jerusalem, I will make my people an object of horror to all the
kingdoms of the earth." (Jeremiah 15:1-4 NLT)
God Promises More Killing
I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to
escape and any who return. I will fill your mountains with the dead.
Your hills, your valleys, and your streams will be filled with people
slaughtered by the sword. I will make you desolate forever. Your cities
will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD. (Ezekiel
35:7-9 NLT)
The Angel of Death
My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites,
Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites; and I will wipe them
out. (Exodus 23:23 NAB)
