ANSWERING THE BIBLE:
Q. Are Christians allowed to eat lobsters?
Ans: No. Please have a look at the following verse: 

“And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you” (Deuteronomy :14:10)_.

Oysters, clams, crabs, and lobsters are "unclean" and shouldn't be eaten by the Christians. Now ask any Christian whether they eat crabs or Lobsters or not…!!.

Q. What are Christians supposed to do if they find a dead body and do not know the cause of the death?
Ans:  Please have a look at the following verses from the Bible (Deuteronomy: 21:1-7): 

“If one be found slain in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him: 2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: 3 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; 4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley: 5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the Lord; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried: 6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: 7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it”.

If you find a dead body and don't know the cause of death, then get all the elders together, cut off the head of a heifer, wash your hands over its body, and say our hands have not shed this blood. (That'll do it!). 
Another explanation says: It was to show how what they would and should have done to the murderer if they had found him.
Common English Bible says: 1 If a corpse is found on the ground the LORD your God is giving you to possess, lying in a field, and the identity of the killer is unknown, 2 your elders and judges must come out and measure the distances to the cities nearest the body. 3 Once it is determined which city is closest to the dead body, its elders must take a young cow that hasn’t been used or yet pulled a plow, 4 and those elders will take the cow down to a ravine with a flowing stream—one that has not been plowed or planted—and they will break the cow’s neck right there in the river valley. 5 Then the priests, the descendants of Levi, will step forward because the LORD your God selected them to minister for him and to bless in the LORD’s name, and because every legal dispute and case of assault is decided by them. 6 All the elders of the city closest to the corpse will wash their hands over the cow whose neck was broken in the river valley. 7 They will then solemnly state: “Our hands did not shed this blood. Our eyes did not see it happen. 8 LORD, please forgive your people Israel, whom you saved. Don’t put the guilt of innocent bloodshed on your people Israel.”   Then the bloodguilt will be forgiven them.

The poor heifer died of no fault…!!There should be a limit to the absurdities. 

Q. How about circumcising your hearts by the all merciful God of the Bible? 
Ans: Please look at the following verse: 

“And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live”. (Deuteronomy 30:6). 

The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. 
Ask Christians if they have ever circumcised their hearts….!!

Q. If you lose a lawsuit, should you pay exactly what the court decides?
Ans: No. 

You should pay twice as much! In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus commands: "And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain." (Matthew 5:40-41) 

Are bible-believing Christians really paying double court-ordered child support? Or are they wiser than Jesus?
