I was not endorsing Hammurabi's code i was merely proving that there were laws against killing and stealing before the ten commandments. Are people not stoned in the bible? Does god not take out his anger on people in the old testament? The bible is full of hypocrisies. I am interested though, what is your answer to evolution? And how can you feel comfortable quoting the bible when it clearly isn't meant to be taken literally. Considering it claims that god created people when evolution has proved otherwise, and the fact that so many texts were destroyed by a human, who is fallible, how can you put so much faith in it?

Daniel Paul, the 10 commandments are NOT part of our law. We have religious freedom, that is the opposite of the first commandment. The commandments you are referring to like not killing and stealing are common sense. People have known that was wrong long before the bible, we are born with a sense of what is right and wrong. If you don't believe me that the bible wasn't the first to say it, just look at Babylonian law (Hammurabi's code) which punishes murderers and thieves. This was written hundreds of years before the ten commandments. Stop trying to take credit for basic morality. Morality is not exclusive to christianity.

Jesus isn't coming back for you, you just rot in the ground. LOL you think he was possessed because he banged his head against the wall and knocked over furniture. Praying/talking to yourself isn't going to save him. Oh and "walkinwithjesuschrist" you can't even spell psychological so I just disregarded everything you said. Thank you for strengthening my belief that there is no god. This will probably be deleted since Christians tend to hate opposing beliefs. Yet you guys are the first ones to shove your religion down other people's throats. And stop trying to use scare tactics, like saying the end is near. Violence has been increasing since the beginning of time, and Christians have been persecuted somewhere in the world since the religion was started. The world is a messed up place, get over it.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
