They were "picking and choosing" and being "misogynistic".  If they had brought the man as per law, there would not have been a story about "the woman caught in adultery". Quote:
How about in your opinion?
In your opinion, is the genocide of the Old Testament a good thing? Was it "justice"?
| Zep 3:5
The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. Quote: |
How about their slavery? Their misogyny?
| You're blaming God for the actions of sinful men? Quote: |
Their rules on rape and other laws that are now viewed as archaic by modern society?
| Archaic by modern society, but in light of the statistics on crime in modern society, how's that workin' for ya? Quote: |
Who is the Creator to NOT be subject to being disagreed with or having fault pointed out when he's at fault?
| Fault by whose standard? Ps 18:30 -
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Quote: |
Is a father blameless for anything he might do to his son just because he provided the sperm?
| The only sperm God provided was for His Son, Christ. The only perfect man that ever lived and still lives! Quote: |
You give yourself an excuse to look the other way for the inexcusable.
| Again, by whose standards? Quote: |
You give yourself an excuse to ignore the fact that the Old Testament was written by MEN who brought their non-inspired beliefs to the book, and included their prejudices and personal motivations to the book.
| Men inspired by the Holy Ghost to pen the words of God AND Christ. The prejudices and personal motivations you speak of are the history/record of sinful men. Quote:
