Biblical "contradictions" #2: To kill or not to kill?

Many atheists like to exploit apparent errors in the bible. In this series of videos, I will be refuting some of the claims made by them.
In this second video, I will be refuting the claim that God broke his own commandments by imposing the death penalty upon sinners in Israel, and explaining why it was necessary for him to do this.
If you have any "contradictions" from the bible that you would like to bring to my attention, then please message me with them.

Your argument that God needed to remove 'intentional' sinning from Isreal before Jesus would come is odd. Why would God need Isreal to be 'more pure' & 'less sinful'?

While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. Rom 5:20

This is simply an attempt, on your part, to justify God committing sin, which He would never do.

God would NEVER tell 1 human to stone another. That's sin.

[scotzbhoy]

Corporal punishment is not sin. How do you expect the holy and perfect savior of mankind to be brought up in a sinful community? He needed to be born into a holy community so he could be brought up holy. The people God commanded the death of were endangering the salvation of the entire human race.

Here's a question for you. If God didn't command any of these things, why does it say he did in the book which he divinely inspired?

[Lightmane321]

Your question doesn't apply.

You're assuming that it's inspired before proving that it is.

If it's inspired & inerrant, then your question is valid.

I'm challenging it's inerrancy, that's all.

My points therefore, are valid.

I've already asked in another video about God killing babies so let's have a conversation in just 1 place.

You choose or I will. Thanks.

2 Timothy 3:16.

[Lightmane321]

Holy Crap. Are you serious?

So since the bible says that it's inspired by God, that's how you KNOW that it is?

Is that your argument???

THEN, if the Koran says the same thing, then it's also inspired by God, right???

For that matter, any book that makes such a claim, must therefore (by your logic) be the inspired word of God, because it says so in the book.

This is called circular reasoning.

Nice try.

[scotzbhoy]

Wow. I cannot believe you just said that.

So if you're not willing to accept when the bible says that it is given under divine inspiration, why are you willing to accept other parts of the bible? For that matter, why are you willing to accept any historical documents?

You are arguing that because I belive the bible is true, then I must believe all books are true. That is ridiculous.

@scotzbhoy you people are insane talking about pure and holy communities and the coming of jesus, captial punishment and blah blah blah you people sound like neo-nazis

[ellimist6]

well actually the 10 commandments did change, when ppl asked jesus how to get into the kingdom of heaven its found in luke 18:18-22. theres no way of explaining y god wanted so many ppl dead. he has his ppl commit  genocide just b/c the ppl where non believers. and killing someone for working on the sabbath is not a reason to kill neone

[elijah5791]

Dude, I like you. You're cool! Keep up the good work, brother! :)

[MrJetco]

Keep up the good work for Jesus Christ.

So if the 10 Commandments are the big ones...the moral laws that cannot be violated, I am wondering how failing to keep the sabbath holy, and making graven images got ranked so high. They seem rather trivial to me.

[Lightmane321]

When people are punished, they'll naturally cry out for mercy. God will show mercy after they've completely paid for their sins. That's what I believe.

That's just

[Lightmane321]

Here's what I believe (feel free to call me an idiot)

God is Love, Just, Merciful, Forgiving.

God will punish everyone with perfect justice. All who die unsaved will stand before Him 'in their sins' and God will pour out His wrath on them & it will be perfect anger, perfect justice, perfect punishment.

MEANING: It won't last forever. The punishment will perfectly fit the crime & then upon repentance, God will show mercy & grace & forgiveness, because that's what God does. He's Holy.

[Lightmane321]

Look at Aaron's sons. Why did God kill them? His reasons... because He's holy. That's it. No explanation. Just because He's holy.

When you get to Heaven, if I were you, I'd check to see if there's any spears around. Wouldn't wanna find myself being run through for upsetting His Holiness. I'd be real careful living with this guy for all freaking eternity, while billions of sinners are tormented in hell forever.

What a God. He's so loving & good that He torments sinners forever.
