Speaking for the Bible, I know that most of the offending passages would be found in the Old Testament....books written about the old laws, as brought from Moses and interpreted in their day.
What's cool about the Bible, is that when Jesus comes along, he pretty much shoots down all those old, offending passages.....ie. "The old law says an eye for an eye.....I tell you, turn the other cheek". Indeed, it was this kind of preaching that ultimately got him killed. My question would be: Does a similar type of refutation occur in the Koran???? Anyone know...? > Good question. > The answer for Christians may be that the Christian Bible is a 'new > testiment' that replaces the laws of the old. > I can answer for Jews and say that this is a legal decision based on > witnesses and other 'events' and could only applied in temple times when > there was a proper court.
