You evidently have not read the book you follow!

Allow me to acquaint you with a few of the less well-known verses of that mouldy old tome:

"Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests

    Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death.  Such evil must be purged from Israel.  (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)"

"Death for Adultery

    If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death.  (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)"

"Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God

    Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."  (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)"

"Kill Sons of Sinners

    Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and possess the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants.  (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)"

You were saying...............HuhHuhHuhHuhHuhHuh??

I know things are serious when someone turns to Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Let's be honest, God was vengeful and strict. These laws applied to the house of Israel via Abraham's covenant. There was no compromise. Any sin required atonement via a living sacrifice, for the wages of sin is death.

In fact these laws still apply today. So, how can one comply? Well the result is always failure. Therefore, we live under grace of a living sacrifice to atone for our sins. God sent his only begotten Son as a living sacrifice to fulfil the requirements of the law.

As I said, God chooses who he loves and who he destroys. It is his prerogative. You would do the same for anyone living under your house. The universe is governed. There is order. However, there is also compassion and grace for those who wish to escape the law of sin and death.
