Here's the deal for you and those like you. You feel like its your duty to come into any thread that mentions Christian values and deliver your edgy comments. Why?

Because its laughable you'll defend the notion that, unless Jesus came to die for our sins, our daughters need to be stoned to death if they're not virgins on their wedding nights. I thought I made that clear in my first post.

John 8:
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them. 3 The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them 4 and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
6 They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
7 When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.” 8 And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
9 When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there. 10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, Lord,” she answered.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”

Are you leaving out information based upon a lack of knowledge or are you cherry picking passages that fit your narrative?

The Bible is a large book and complicated in many ways, yet simple at the same time. The context of the entirety of Scripture is key to understanding its meaning. I hope that you will give that genuine consideration and I would be glad to talk with you about it further if you truly wish to.

Neither, I'm pointing out that without Jesus, you'd think its moral to stone your daughters who are not virgins on their wedding night, and probably elevate those same old Testament verses high enough to include them in a book as parental advice.

What about that do you disagree with?

You haven't provided any criticism. You have displayed a very elementary understanding of the topics you are attempting to discuss. But that's about it.

Without Jesus, I don't believe I would have any reason to care what any book had to say.

There's still God and his original commandments (Old Testament) and they say to stone daughters who aren't virgins on their wedding nights. Don't worry, though, its really good advice! Lets make a book out of it!

As I said. Not a criticism. Just a very elementary understanding of the topic. Also a pretty juvenile "debate" tactic. You are getting downvotes because your are disingenuous and ignorant. Mix that with your misplaced hubris and you get downvotes. Also. It the greatest qualities. But hey...you do you.

Outside of Jesus, what other "fail safe" is present in Christianity that would prevent the Old Testament prescription of stoning daughters to death over not being virgins on their wedding nights is there?

Asking for a friend, please don't downvote

Why would you need an "outside of Jesus". That's kind of an important part of Christianity. You aren't nearly as smart as you think you are. Your "points" aren't novel or new. If you weren't disingenuous or if you were embarrassed of your ignorance you would do a modicum of research. You won't, though. You would rather remain ignorant and make silly, lazy, and trite remarks. Speaks volumes about you.

yeah, i'd refrain from giving my hypothetic daughters a book written by a married broad who writes blogs about doing butt stuff in her younger years

"There's still God and his original commandments (Old Testament) and they say to stone daughters who aren't virgins on their wedding nights. Don't worry, though, its really good advice! Lets make a book out of it!"

No Sir, I don't believe you are right:

John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
John 1:14
"And the Word become flesh and made His dwelling among us."

So you see, God is Jesus. Jesus was with God in the beginning. They are not and cannot be separated. There has never been a time when Jesus was non-existent. God's commandments in the Old Testament were Jesus' commandments. They are one in the same.
