If you don't obey all of these laws, God will (among many other things) smite you with hemorrhoids, madness,
and blindness, burn or starve you to death, have some animals eat you, and snakes bite you. If you still refuse to
obey, he will have your wife raped and force you eat your own children. 28:15-68,
32:23-25

commanded." 6:21, 8:24 - 40, 11:8 - 21

accursed thing." "So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger." 7:24-26

them along the way." What a guy. 10:10

with the sword." 10:11

23, 18:10, 19:9

30:1
When David had a census (that God "moved" him to have), God gave him a choice of three punishments: seven years of famine, three months of war, or three
days of pestilence. David couldn't decide, so God chose for him and 70,000 men died in a plague. (The details are different in
1 Chronicles, but the principle is the same.) 24:1-15
God kills a couple hundred thousand people to punish David for having a
census. 24:15

Pekah kills 120,000 people in one day "because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers."
28:6, 8
God sends the king of the Chaldees to kill all the "young men with the sword." He had "no compassion
upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand." 36:16-17
Check out the contradictions between the boring lists given in Ezra 2 and
Neh.7.
Nehemiah rebukes the men for marrying "strange wives." To punish
them he "contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair."
13:25-27
Queen Vashti (the real heroine of the Book of Esther) refuses to display
herself in front of the king's drunken guests. 1:7-12
For her refusal, Vashti is stripped of her crown. 1:13-19
Because of Vashti's disobedience the king decrees that "all the wives
shall give to their husbands honor" and "that every man should
bear rule over his own house." 1:20-22
"All the fair young virgins" throughout the kingdom are brought
before the king and the one that "pleaseth" him the most will replace Queen Vashti. 2:2-4
Esther wins the pleasing the king babe contest. 2:8-9
But since women are dirty, she must be "purified" for twelve
months before she can be made queen. 2:12

to be disturbed "till he please." 3:4-5
"Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins." 4:5, 7:3

God's sword will "devour" everyone until "no flesh shall have peace."

deserves to be raped because she has sinned. 13:22
God will destroy by famine and sword those who are misled by the prophets. 14:16
God plans to kill people with swords, tear their flesh with dogs, and feed their bodies to the birds and beasts.
Why? Because of something some former king did. 15:2-4
God has ordained that everyone "shall die of grievous deaths," and that they shall neither "be
lamented" nor even buried, but "they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth." 16:3-4
When the people ask why God is killing everyone, God answers by saying, "Because your fathers have
forsaken me." 16:10

and unmarked men are to be slaughtered. God will "fill the courts with the slain" and will have pity on no one.
9:4
God dislikes women and pillows. He says, "Woe to the women that
sew pillows ... behold, I am against your pillows." 13:15-20
God deceives some of his prophets and then kills them for believing his lies. 14:9
God gave the Israelites "statutes that were not good and judgments whereby they should not live."

have them eat human flesh until they're full and drink human blood until they're drunk. 39:4, 17-20
God tells Hosea to "take ... a wife of whoredoms." 1:2-3
God talks about whoredoms, adulteries between breasts. He plans to strip a woman naked as the day she was
born and to discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers. 2:2-3, 2:10
God will not have mercy upon children if they are the children of whoredoms. 2:4-5
God tells Hosea to "love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress." 3:1
In accordance with God's command, Hosea buys a wife for 15 pieces of
silver and one and a half homers of barley. 3:2
If you misbehave, God will make your daughters "commit
whoredom" and your wife "commit adultery." 4:13
Hosea asks God to "give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts." 9:14

2:1, 3:14
God says he will repay Israel for the damage the locusts caused -- which he sent! And they
will "praise the name of the Lord." 2:25-26
"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood." These "signs" were a lot more
impressive before the causes of solar and lunar eclipses were understood. 2:31
"And I will sell your sons and your daughters." 3:8
"Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears." 3:10
God will kill "the last of them with the sword," and any that try to escape by diving to the bottom
of the sea will be bitten, at God's command, by a serpent. God will set his "eyes upon them for evil,
not for good." 9:1-4
God will "discover thy skirts upon thy face, ... show the
nations thy nakedness" and "will cast abominable filth upon thee." 3:4
"Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women." I guess this ("You're all
just a bunch of women.") was the biggest insult God could think of at the moment. 3:13
God says that "the fire shall devour thee, the sword shall cut thee
off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm." 3:15
He will "cut off" all those who "have not sought the Lord" or who worship another god. 1:4-6
He "will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with
strange apparel." 1:8
God doesn't have night-vision, so he needs candles when he comes to
punish the people that say, "The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil." 1:12
God continues to demand animal sacrifices. And not just any animals will do. He is insulted
when blind, lame, or sick animals are killed for him. 1:8, 13-14
Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn't the
slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament and insists that its laws will be binding forever.
5:17
To avoid sin, Jesus recommends that we cut off our hands and pluck
out our eyes. This advice is given immediately after he says that anyone who
looks with lust at a women commits adultery. 5:29, 18:8
Jesus tells his disciples not to pray in public. 6:5-6
He says that most people are going to hell. 7:13-14
He sends some devils into a herd of pigs, causing them to run off
a cliff and drown in the waters below. 8:32
Families will be torn apart because of Jesus (this is one of the few "prophecies" in the Bible that has
actually come true). "Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall
rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death." 10:21
Jesus says that he has come to destroy families by making family members hate each other. He has "come not
to send peace, but a sword." 10:34
John the Baptist is still not sure about Jesus (he's in prison and is soon to die). He sends his disciples to ask,
"Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?" Well, if he isn't sure
after seeing and hearing the events at Jesus' baptism, then how can anyone else be? 11:3
Jesus condemns entire cities to dreadful deaths and to the eternal torment of hell because they didn't care for
his preaching. 11:20-24
He explains that the reason he speaks in parables is so that no one will understand him, "lest ... they ...
should understand ... and should be converted, and I should heal them." 13:10-15
"For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him
shall be taken away even that he hath." Isn't this from the Republican Party platform?
13:12, 25:29
Jesus is rejected by those who know him the best -- the people of his home town of Nazareth.
13:55-57
Herod thought Jesus was a resurrected John the Baptist. Apparently, it was a common opinion at the time. If so many
of Jesus' contemporaries could be so easily fooled regarding John the Baptist, what does this do to the credibility of
Jesus' resurrection? 14:2, 16:13-14
Jesus mistakenly tells his followers that he will return and establish his kingdom within their lifetime.
16:28, 23:36, 24:34
Abandon your wife and children for Jesus and he'll give your a big reward. 19:29
Matthew has Jesus ride into Jerusalem sitting on both an ass
and a colt (must have taken some practice!). 21:2-7
"His blood be on us, and on our children." This verse blames the Jews for the death of Jesus and has been used
to justify their persecution for twenty centuries. 27:25
Jesus explains why he speaks in parables: to confuse people so they will go to hell. 4:11-12
He says that those who have been less fortunate in this life will
have it even worse in the life to come. 4:25
He sends the devils into 2000 pigs, causing them to jump off a cliff and be drowned in the sea. When the people
hear about it, they beg Jesus to leave. 5:12-13
He is rejected by those who knew him the best, the people from his home town of Nazareth. 6:2-5
Any city that doesn't "receive" the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage than
that of Sodom and Gomorrah. 6:11
Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient children according to Old Testament law.
7:9
He falsely prophesies that the end of the world will come within his listeners' lifetimes. 9:1
He tells us to cut off our hands and feet, and pluck out our eyes to avoid going to hell. 9:43
He will reward men who abandon their wives and families. 10:29
He kills a fig tree for not bearing figs, even though it was out of season. 11:13
Jesus shows that he is a false prophet by predicting his return and
the end of the world within the lifetime of his listeners. 13:30
He says that those that believe and are baptized will be saved,
while those who don't will be damned. 16:16
The true followers of Christ routinely perform the following tricks: 1) cast out devils, 2)speak in tongues,
3) take up serpents, 4) drink poisons without harm, and 5) cure the sick by touching them. 16:17-18
God strikes Zacharias dumb for doubting the angel Gabriel's words. 1:20
John the Baptist says that Christ will burn the damned "with fire unquenchable." 3:17
The genealogy of Jesus given here is entirely different than that in Mt.1:6-16. Luke
lists 43 generations from David to Jesus, Matthew has only 29, and except for David at one end and Jesus at the other, only
three names in the two lists are the same (and they are completely out of order). 3:23-31
Peter and his partners (James and John) abandon their wives and children to follow Jesus. 5:11
Jesus says that people who are rich, well-fed, happy, or respected are going to hell. 6:24-26
John the Baptist, who is about to die, is still unsure about Jesus. 7:19
He says that he speaks in parables so "that seeing they
might not see, and hearing they might not understand." 8:10
He falsely predicts that some of his listeners would live to see
him return and establish the kingdom of God. 9:27
Entire cities will be violently destroyed and the inhabitants "thrust down to hell" for
not "receiving" his disciples. 10:10-15
The disciples are thrilled that "even the devils are subject" to them. To this Jesus replies, "I give
unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions ... and nothing shall by any means hurt
you." 10:17-19
Jesus thanks God that only the ignorant and foolish will listen to him. 10:21
Jesus calls his critics fools, thus making himself, by his own standards (Mt.5:22),
worthy of "hell fire." 11:40
He says that we should fear God since he has the power to kill us
and then torture us forever in hell. 12:5
He says that his disciples must hate their families (mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters,
husbands, wives, children) and themselves. 14:26
If you want to be a disciple of Jesus, you must abandon everything, including your family.
14:33
"That which is highly esteemed among men [love, wisdom, honesty, courage, etc.] is an abomination in the sight of
God." 16:15
All of the vicious Old Testament laws will be binding forever. 16:17
In the parable of the talents, Jesus says that God takes what is not rightly his, and reaps what he didn't sow. The
parable ends with the words of Jesus: "bring them [those who preferred not to be ruled by him] hither, and slay them
before me." 19:22-27
Jesus says that everyone will hate Christians, and some Christians
will be killed, yet no Christian will be harmed in any way. 21:16
He says that all that he describes (his return, signs in the sun,
moon, and stars, etc.) will occur within the lifetime of his listeners. 21:32
Jesus believes people are crippled by God as a punishment for sin. He tells a crippled man, after healing him, to
"sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." 5:14
The people of Nazareth, who knew Jesus well, did not believe in him. 6:42
Jesus says we must eat his flesh and drink his blood if we want to have eternal life. 6:53
Many of those who saw Jesus firsthand thought he was mad and possessed by a devil. 10:10
The reason people didn't believe in Jesus was that God had "blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart."
God did this so that they would not "understand with their heart, and be converted." 12:40
Those who do not believe in Jesus will be cast into a fire to be burned. 15:6
Jesus implies that he will return to earth during the lifetime of John. 21:22
The existence and nature of God are self-evident; thus, unbelievers are "without excuse."
1:20
God abandons those who don't know him to "uncleanness and vile
affections." 1:24-26
With his usual intolerance, Paul condemns homosexuals. 1:24-26
Paul explains that "the natural use" of women is to act as
sexual objects for the pleasure of men. 1:27
Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are
"worthy of death." 1:31-32
Paul asks the very good question: "Is there unrighteousness who taketh vengeance [upon innocent people]?" The
obvious answer to this is, yes. 3:5
God gave the law so "that the offence might abound." 5:20
Everyone is predestined by God to be either saved or damned; they
can do nothing to affect their final destiny. 8:29-30
No one can oppose Christians since God is on their side. 8:31
A Christian cannot be accused of any wrongdoing. 8:33
God makes some people that are destined to go to heaven and others
that will go to hell. There is nothing that they can do to change the will of God. 9:11-12
God blinded the Jews so they wouldn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah. 11:7-10
"The powers that be are ordained of God." Whoever resists them will be damned. 13:1-4
Paul, like Jesus and the other New Testament writers, expects the end to come soon. "The time is short." So there's
no time for sex or marriage since the world will be ending soon. 7:29
Gentiles sacrifice to devils. If you have gentile friends, then you are friends with devils.
10:20
Paul says "the head of the woman is the man," meaning that
the women are to be subordinate to men. 11:3
If a woman refuses to cover her head in church, then her head must be shaved. 11:5-6
Men are made in the image of God; women in the image of men. Women were created from and for men.
11:7-9
God likes short hair on men and long hair on women. 11:13-15
Women are commanded by Paul to be silent in church and to be obedient to men. He further says that "if they
will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to
speak in church." 14:34-35
"The gospel ... was preached to every creature under heaven." 1:23
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy." 2:8
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord." 3:18
"Servants [slaves], obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as
menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God." 3:22
Paul with his usual modesty, proclaims that he is holy, just, and blameless. 2:10
He accuses "the Jews" of killing Jesus, persecuting the prophets, displeasing God, and
being "contrary to all men." He concludes that the wrath of God will "come upon them to the
uttermost. 2:14-16
He accuses "the Jews" of killing Jesus, persecuting the prophets, displeasing God, and being "contrary to
all men." He concludes that the wrath of God will "come upon them to the uttermost." 2:15-16
Paul expected Jesus to return within the lifetime of his followers. 3:13
He thought he would live to see the rapture. 4:15, 17
"Prove all things; hold fast to what is good." 5:21
He prays that the Thessalonians will be good until Jesus returns,
implying that he expected this to happen within their lifetimes. 5:23
Ignore "fables and endless
genealogies." If we follow this advice we would ignore most of the Bible
-- especially the genealogies found in Gen.10, 1 Chr.1-9
Homosexuals (those "that defile themselves with mankind") are
included in the list of lawless, disobedient, unholy, and profane people. 1:10
"Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme." Apparently
(see 2 Tim.2:16-18 and 4:14-15) their "blasphemy" was
disagreeing with Paul. 1:20
Women are to dress modestly, "with shamefacedness" -- "not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or
costly array." 2:9
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." 2:11-12
Men are superior to women since Adam was made before, and sinned after, Eve. But even though women are inferior to
men, they shouldn't be discouraged because they shall "be saved in childbearing." 2:14-15
"In the latter times some shall depart from the faith" by becoming vegetarians. 4:1-4
Real widows are "desolate" and pray "night and day." But those widows that experience pleasure
are "dead while [they] live." 5:5-6
You should help a widow only if she : 1) is over 70 years old, 2) had only one husband, 3) has raised children,
4) has lodged strangers, 5) has "washed the saints feet," 6) has relieved the afflicted, and 7)has "diligently
followed very good work." Otherwise, let them starve. "But the younger widows refuse [to help]: for ... they will
marry; having damnation." Besides the young widows are always idle tattlers -- "busybodies, spreading things
which they ought not." He adds that "some are already turned aside after Satan." 5:9-15
Publicly humiliate those who sin by announcing their sins in front of God and everybody so
"that others may also fear." 5:20
Stop drinking water. Drink wine for your "stomach's" sake. 5:23
"Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the
name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed." 6:1
Avoid science, especially that which disagrees with Paul ("science falsely so called"). 6:20
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
2:19
"By works a man is justified, and not by faith only." 2:24
James says that, even in his day, all beasts, birds, serpents, and sea creatures had been tamed by humans.
3:7
If your prayers are not answered, it's your own damned fault. 4:3
Whoever is a friend of the world is an enemy of God. 4:4
"Ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little
time, and then vanisheth away." (All we are is dust in the wind.) 4:14
"Ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you." 5:1
We are all, according to Peter, predestined to be saved or damned. We have no say in the matter.
It was all determined by "the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."1:2
Peter believed that he was living in the "last times." 1:20
He says that all slaves should "be subject to [their] masters with all fear," to the bad and cruel as well
as the "good and gentle." 2:18
He orders all wives to be "in subjection" to their husbands. 3:1
Wives are to use "chaste conversation, coupled with fear." They are not to braid their hair, wear gold, or put on
any "apparel." They are to do these things in imitation of the "holy" women of the Old testament who were "in
subjection to their won husbands: even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord." 3:2-6
In relation to her husband, the wife is "the weaker vessel." 3:7
Lot, who in Gen.19:8 offers his two virgin daughters to a crowd of angel rapers and
later (19:30-38) impregnates them, is called a "righteous man" in
2:8.
The author believes the story in Numbers (22:28-30)
about the talking ass. 2:16
Those who lose their faith are like dogs that eat their own vomit. 2:22
The author of 2 Peter is aware of the failed expectations of early believers. He knows that Jesus, who was
