Thou Shall Not Kill

"Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a schoolbook? Its morals are pure, its examples are captivating and noble." Fisher Ames, Massachusetts Congressman (1758-1808)

Peter : Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times? Jesus: I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother …his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. ..Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death.

You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

“I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel...Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the people, "Shout! For the LORD has given you the city! The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the LORD…All the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the LORD and must go into his treasury." Then they burned the whole city and everything in it…

Ill-gotten treasures are of no value.

but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD's house.

“No one has ever seen God.”- Book of John.
“The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend.”- Book of Exodus

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.

When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

If a man beats his slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Jesus: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
Jesus: Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

All Israel will hear of it and be afraid. If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death.

How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!

If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that… hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them... Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
