How do you handle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

(Thou shalt not lie?) Sounds like you ought to be out roasting some wiccans right now Inq. right? Using your logic, we KNOW god doesn't approve of you suffering witches to live right now....just like he wouldn't aprove if you lied right now....

Or is that one of those "man-made" and not inspired bits of the bible? I REALLY wish you'd publish that list sometime.

See Deuteronomy 1:1. There's also an introduction to Deuteronomy at the address below:

The God (with a capital "G") referred to in Deuteronomy would be the God of Moses.

Do you realize that manna is bread from heaven but that it was second hand to them and therefore withered with the dying of each day?

Did you know that it is wrong to "part the waters" and just force yourself into the promised land but that, instead, we must learn to "walk on water" first?

Do you still see a capital G there?
