“Some devout Christians are among the most fervent advocates of the death penalty, contradicting Jesus Christ and justifying their belief on an erroneous interpretation of Hebrew Scriptures. "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," their most likely response, overlooks the fact that this was promulgated by Moses as a limitation- a prohibition against taking both eyes or all of an offender's teeth in retribution.” FactsEyeChristianJesusBeliefChristJesus ChristResponseScriptureTeethLimitationInterpretationPenaltiesDeath PenaltyMosesProhibitionRetributionHebrewOffendersFerventContradictingEye For An Eye Book:Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis Source: Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis

“Each of those churches shows certain books, which they call revelation, or the Word of God. The Jews say that their Word of God was given by God to Moses face to face; the Christians say, that their Word of God came by divine inspiration; and the Turks say, that their Word of God (the Koran) was brought by an angel from heaven. Each of those churches accuses the other of unbelief; and, for my own part, I disbelieve them all.” BookShowsInspirationChristianFacesCertainGivenHeavenChurchMy OwnDivineAngelJewRevelationsWord Of GodMosesFace To FaceUnbeliefDivine InspirationAge Of Reason Book:The Age of Reason, etc Source: The Age of Reason, etc
