ANSWERING THE BIBLE:
Q. Should Christian men kiss each other?
Answer: Yes
Look at the following verse from the Bible:
"Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss." (I Thessalonians 5:26. See also Romans 16:16; I Corinthians 16:20; II Corinthians 13:12; I Peter 5:14)
Why do we not see men kissing each other in Church, then?
Q. Should Christians always give what they have to anyone who asks for it?
Answer: Yes
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said: "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again." (Luke 6:30, repeated in Matthew 5:42).
Please try asking any Christians (or for that matter any human being), to give their houses and other possessions, and see how faithful they are to the teachings of Jesus. Borrow a Christian's motor bike and see if they ever ask you to give it back or not. The fact of the matter is that the modern believers know the real truth.
Q. Should Christians allow non-believers into their homes?
Answer: No
Notice how this verse from the Bible, unfairly equates unbelief and diversity with evil:
"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." (II John 10-11)
Q. Do the Ten Commandments prohibit incest or rape?
Answer: No.
The "Ten Commandments" do not condemn any sexual acts. The only sexual practice prohibited by the list in Exodus-20 is adultery, which, although a valid marital concern, is a legal act between consenting adults.
The violent and degrading crimes of rape and incest surely should have come in the "top ten" list, but they do not appear. Adultery in the Old Testament was considered a crime that could only be committed by a wife.
Harper's Bible Dictionary explains: "The law was probably intended to ensure that any child born to the wife was really the husband's child, since it was considered crucial for the husband to have offspring, so that the family name could be perpetuated."
Adultery had bearing on the patriarchy, while more violent crimes did not.
