I love when non religious people try to interpret Bible verses.
They always take everything out of context or way to literally.

>but but 6 Days could be millions of years >muh selectively defined figurative interpretations >Old testy bro, it don’t matter, no I don’t care about the sermon of the mount either >but old testy matters when it comes to homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion, etc. >Islam is bad bcuz they made a new bible when we already had one, but were not bad for making a new bible bcuz Jews It’s not [i]easy[/i] for the non-religious to interpret bible verses how you would like them to, because interpretations are [i]not consistent[/i]. When we put this into the context of reality, outside of historical literature, when people are using bible verses to combat other individual’s rights, it’s even harder for the non-religious to comprehend when the Bible should and should not be taken literally. I understand your response to this thread, and I understand the context of Leviticus, I hope you can understand why things like this are so prone to misinterpretation by non-religious people, and that the blame for this misinterpretation is not entirely on them.

I know. It’s always entertaining.

As opposed to religious people who just pretend it says things that it doesn't.

The punishment that OP referred to was part of an escalated response from God for perpetually breaking the covenant.

It is clearly lauded out that it is totally up to the Hebrews whether or not they receive the punishment. These verses are essentially laying out the terms of the agreement.

This isn't an issue of why these passages exist, it's an issue of them being brutal punishments from god. No part of your explanation makes them less brutal.

I could see it being brutal if this was the punishment right out of the gate, but it's not. It was mainly a last resort so the Hebrews could avoid that all together.
-
And yet, it still is a brutal, draconian punishment. The rationale doesn't change the nature of it.
-
A punishment that was last resort and could be avoided.

[quote]I love when non religious people try to interpret Bible verses. They always take everything out of context or way to literally.[/quote] The same could be said about religious people... "Taking things out of context or way to literally"...
