Do you love:
1) the bible?
OR
2) do you love God?

(YOUR only answer to this question can be either 1 or 2, nothing else).
-----------------------------------------------------------
You don’t go around killing all the people the Bible says to kill for various transgressions. You have not stoned and adulteress or done any of the hundreds of things that you are commanded to do.

I DON'T APOLOGIZE THAT I NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL MURDER ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.
-----------------------------------------------------------------



I'm not familiar with the exact verses that you are referring to, I will admit that there's some harsh judgements in Leviticus and all over the Old Testament and wars in the Old Testament, I could even imagine that it would be possible for you yourself to find a reference in the New Testament (please make accurate reference).


Not that the reference would matter (it may matter to you), but it certainly would not change my decision to simply REFUSE any PERCIEVED command to do so. Yes, I read the bible, it tells me how to HEAR the word of God THAT WE SHOULD LIVE BY. The bible is the word of God from 2000 years ago. The word that I live by is the word of God that I HEAR from God's spirit today and lives in my heart and conscience (mind). I think God, He is in my blood and bones, He runs through my veins and is every heartbeat and breath. I LOVE GOD, the bible is a book, not something to love (and you shouldn't fear it either, in case you do, God will protect from it).

Of course what I've said here resembles the ravings of a madman, and it will not necessarily make sense to you, but love goes beyond rationality and that is what TRUE Christianity (love, not mere faith) is all about (NEW Testament Christianity). The only true way to love God is to also love His offspring (every person on the face of this earth,...and each person's salvation and spiritual growth is a matter of THEIR HEART).


I am not a "doormat" Christian whose cup (heart) is not full, but my cup runneth over, if you prefer a worldly understanding of scripture, then you'll have to go to a church building (that is why we're here on this forum, not to be the kind of Christian you despise).
