Not too sure what you mean by this. I take it you think these laws immoral?

Well these Laws are given to the JEWISH people and the JEWISH PRIESTS. In Acts of the Apostles, at the council of Jerusalem, it is decided that we are not bound by these laws and that gentiles may enter the faith as well. Unless you are circumcised Jew, these laws are by far and large not for you. We have been released from these laws, that is what the blessed Incarnation, Crucifixion and Resurrection accomplished.

and to think I’ve wasted 26 years following the Ten Commandments. Oh the killing and stealing and lying I would have done if I had only realized that these laws only applied to Jews.

What I meant was you stated that nowhere in the Bible does it say how to persecute people. I asked you to explain Leviticus to me. It’s not exactly light reading. I would go so far as to say tedious, although at times completely humorous as it doles out crimes and what their punishments should be. Now, having read Leviticus, I would say that the end results are less punishments, and more persecutions. Stone women for adultery? Sell daughters into slavery? Stoning farmers for planting crops next to each other? Killing people for touching the skin of a dead pig (there goes ad revenue for superbowl sunday)

While we don’t have to follow the laws, it’s still in OUR Bible and it still explicitly explains what punishments/persecutions should be used to people viololating it’s codes of behavior.

The ten commandments are part of our New Covenant.

It only tells those who are bound by that law how to persecute. I never said are Holy book is free of any mention of perseuction. What I said was that our Holy Book doesn’t tell us to persecute. Are Christians bound by that law? Then no, it is not telling us to persecute, unlike the Koran.

Our faith is flawless, it is truly perfect.
 
I am concerned - its long overdue. This Islamist “religion” has been given an acceptance it does not deserve - it does not denounce violence against others and even themselves! I would compare it to a gang! There is nothing to trust about it, as we know it is based on falsehood.

Since it is only three doors away from your home, may I suggest you take a little stroll in the early morning or evening with a supply of holy water - sprinkle the entrance and say a prayer to St. Michael the Archangel! Can’t hurt and maybe they will be frightened off!!

I would look into the noise ordnance in your neighborhood and make sure they don’t start that yelling from the rooftops!

Good luck!
