God commanded it...so yes--to the people that he commanded it, it was correct.

You ask why different Christians think different things when they all claim to follow the Bible? Is that the quesiton?

So, according to you, is this still a moral act?

For all ancient Israelites living under the Mosaic Law to do that? Yes. Can you tell me it isn't?

Of course, since Jesus fulfilled the Law, it is no longer in effect....so the hypothetical situation won't happen.

This is the new apologetics, as promoted by Eric Hovind, his prison bird father, Kent Hovind, and Sye Ten Bruggencate, their last resort.

But, you seem to believe that God's morality is objective and absolute, meaning that it is universally valid and unchangeable. Does your statement that it doesn't pertain to modern Gentiles not contradict your claim?

The most annoying apologetic ever devised. Fortunately, it too has been soundly refuted and torn asunder.

Have I ever suggested that God's commands given to one group of people will ALWAYS be the same as to every other group?

No. God had a set of commandments for Israel than the rest of the world. He doesn't tell the Hittites, for instance, to do that.

This page explains it....if you are willing to read.

From Matt Slick:

The answer is simple. Not eating pork and not wearing clothes woven of two kinds of material are not moral issues. Instead, they are commands aimed at ancient Israel as examples of cultural and spiritual separation from the unbelieving world. Lying, stealing, homosexuality, bestiality, etc., are issues of morality that deal with all people--everywhere. Let me show you.
So, are you placing "beating your children to death for disobedience" in the same category as "not eating pork" or in the "lying, stealing, homosexuality, beastiality, ect.." category?
