Unfortunately, ignorant people reject the truth because in their self-righteousness they point to the God of the Old Testament as being evil because homosexuals, fornicators, adulterers are to be stoned, as well as people who bear false witness, or commit murder, are to be stoned. Even a man who has an oxen that gores a person because of his irresponsibility is to be put to death (Exodus 21:29). What these people do not understand is that the laws that were given to Moses were for a nation that was to be free from evil; however, because the recognition of ungodly human desires and the fact that people will decide to follow the god of this world, the execution of decisive action was required. What is a cancer on society has to be cut out if a civilization is live in righteousness. Although those who disregard other people hate this, but this is what God decreed:
- If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. (Exodus 21:23–25)
- You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)
Speaking of Lord Jesus Christ and Our Heavenly Father, the Bible states:
- And by this we may be sure that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He who says “I know him” but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him: he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. (1 John 2:3–6)
- For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.(1 Corinthians 7:19)
