Laws not good for Israel

The commentaries point out that this wasn't some base law that allowed any ol person to go around chopping off fingers or putting out eyes. How did you don't get that?

so where in the bible do you get the idea from that the law was abused, indeed...???

Again, if taken out of context. The scripture itself says that "eye for an eye" was allowed "IF" mischief followed an accident. That wasn't the first course of action

could you elaborate on this one, showing scripture...???

It was a fine law. Like the rest of God's law.

sure thing....

I said that the abuse of the law, i.e, using it as an excuse for revenge, was bad. The law in and of itself was just fine.

allright, so in what way does it differ from revenge? do you understand the word 'revenge' in this given context, as taking more than one eye for an eye?

Christ gave the law. And the vast majority of these laws lost their power when the people cried out for an earthly king. At that point, men started to rule over men.

so these laws were no longer valid? anyway, could you provide scriptural evidence, again. and just btw, if they had lost their power, Christ could have reinstated their importance...

No one ought to take pleasure in killing. God doesn't take pleasure in killing. Was it a good law though? Yes.

I never used the word 'pleasure' in regard to killing homosexuals, all I did was asking you, if the law was good, or in other words, would bannishing those dudes from the country have been a worse option... Or putting them into prison or something, I mean, like giving them opportunity for repentance, etc.

[qute] Text you want to quote [/qute]

I'm misspelling the word quote so you can see what the tags should look like. Anything between those brackets will be quoted.

Each response starts off with the

so all you have to do is find which part you want to quote first, and then add the [/qute] tag at the end of that paragraph, and that first portion will be quoted. From there forward, you simply add the [qute] at the beginning and [/qute] at the end of each paragraph you want to respond to. You can always practice and hit the preview button before hand to see what it'll look like when you actually post it.

I hope that made sense.
