Contradictions (1)

Questions where the Bible appears to say two different things, with the passages on each side set together.

    Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17 command 'thou shalt not kill,' and Jesus reaffirms it in Mark 10:19 and Luke 18:20. The same Torah then mandates capital punishment for witches, adulterers, gay men, non-virgin brides, blasphemers, sabbath breakers, and disobedient children.
