Jerome you have no idea you constantly attack faiths you have no idea about. You post laughable childish cartoons to try and justify your views. And then you have the audacity to say don't pick and choose. WHEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH YOUR QUOTES FROM THE BIBLE, laughable.
God gave strict commandments to the Israelite's to prevent them from copying the ways of the pagan cultures around them and leading them astray.
It is easier to continue to live in sin than admit that the punishment for sin is death and that by no means can you save yourself. GOD HATES SIN BUT LOVES THE SINNER
No wonder you haven't put the pre or post ceding verses from the verses you quoted. Because your argument would have broken straight down. You mentioned 8 verses about the punishment for sin in your post. There are over 500 verses in the bible about love and hundreds and hundreds on righteous living.
You are the one who needs to read the WHOLE bible Properly with an open heart then you would know it constantly stress's righteous, obedient and faithful living.
