Break the Sabbath: Get Stoned
Did you ever wonder what sin would be
worthy of death by Jehovah? It was the most horrible, most dastardly sin of
gathering wood on the Sabbath day! If a man was caught gathering wood on the
Sabbath day, he was brought before Moses, Aaron and the entire community.
Jehovah said to Moses, “This man must be pu
The entire community, men, women and
children went outside the camp, surrounded the poor man who had gathered wood,
picked up stones and hurled them at him. The stones would hit his face,
puncturing out his eyes, crushing his nose, breaking bones and snapping teeth
out of their sockets. Wounds would open with massive bleeding. Brain tissue
would flow freely out of his head. Parts of flesh and red globs of blood would
be on the stones as the bounced off his arms, legs, face, and torso. Eventually
the victim’s knees would buckle and he would fall on the ground. More stones
would be thrown from the crowd and eventually he would die a horrible death.
The ground around his body would become red with blood. Massive wounds would be
open where parts of his intestines, kidneys, and brains would be visible. This
is the penalty of Jehovah for picking up a couple of sticks of wood on the
Sabbath day. It also seems unusual and sadistic the Jewish people, both men and
women would gather and mass murder this poor gatherer of wood without inquiring
the ethics of such a horrible and deadly action. Blessed is the name of Jehovah
for his wood is more precious than human life. -- Numbers
Jehovah
Liked and Demanded Bread and Cake for Himself
Did you ever wonder if Yahweh liked bread
and cake? Jehovah told Moses that whenever the Israelites entered a land they
should give Yahweh “one cake aside as the firstfruits of your dough; you will still se

Jehovah needed his cereal and meat. This
sounds like the all-American breakfast, which sometimes consists of fried meat,
eggs, and cereal. It is common for the modern breakfas
Did you ever wonder if Jehovah liked red
heifers? It was not good to be born as a red heifer in the days when Yahweh
demanded sacrifice. A brown heifer or a black or spotted heifer would have a
better chance of living, but if it were red, it would be dead. Jehovah demanded
the priest Eleazar take a red heifer out of the camp
and slaughter it in his presence. Eleazar would then take some of the heifer’s
blood on his finger, sprinkle this blood seven times towards the entrance to
the Tent of Meeting and then throw the heifer’s carcass on a fire. He would
continue to burn its hide, flesh, blood and offal (guts) as he watched. After
this murderous and bloody ritual was complete, the priest would wash himself
and his clothing and return to camp. The ashes of the burned animal and wood
with the hyssop would be gathered after the fire went out and stored outside
the camp to be used to make water purification, which would be used to remove
sin. This would be used to make clean an unclean person who touched a dead body.
Otherwise and unclean person would be barred from the community. Jehovah had
some good rules, didn’t he! -- Numbers chapter 19.

Did you ever wonder why Yahweh didn’t write
the rules and laws of the Israelites on a peace of parchment without using a
human to write out all those orders?
Did

prophets, kings, and priests and not speak anything to modern human beings?

Did

Did
you ever wonder how Jehovah could stop rotating the earth for several hours to

the entire planet?
Did
you ever wonder why Isaac was considered the firstborn of Abraham when Ishmael
was his firstborn son?
Did
you ever wonder why Jehovah allowed men to have several wives but a wife could
only have one husband?
Did you ever wonder if Yahweh would
ask someone to murder children and little babies? Jehovah decided to choose a
King to rule over the nation of
Samuel, who was Jehovah’s prophet, spoke
these words to King Saul: “Now, go and crush
Amalek; put him under the curse of destruction with all that he posses. Do not
spare him, but KILL MAN AND WOMAN, BABE AND SUCKLING, OX AND SHEEP, CAMEL AND
DONKEY.”
Jehovah
was ordering the death of all the men and women and their children. Let us not
forget it included the babies who were nursing their mothers! The animals of
Amalek also had to be mass murdered to satisfy the killing lust of Yahweh.
Saul assembled 210,000-foot soldiers and
crushed the Amalekites. But, unlike the needs of Jehovah, King Saul showed
mercy and spared the best sheep, cattle, and lambs. However, he did put all the
people to the sword.

Samuel loved Jehovah and Jehovah loved
Samuel. Therefore, Samuel decided to correc
Did you ever wonder if Jehovah would kill
a child because of the sins of its father? After the death of King Saul, Yahweh
made David the new King of Israel. David loved Jehovah and Jehovah loved David.
David also loved sex so he arranged the death of a soldier named Uriah so he
could take the man’s wife as his own wife. King David wasted no time with his
new bride and after rising for the occasion, proceeded to get her pregnant. She
bore him a baby son.
Because of the sin of David, Jehovah
caused the death of the baby. After the child died, David fasted, hoping the
baby would come back to life. When nothing happened, he quit fasting and consoled
his wife Bathsheba. How did he do this? Once more, he arose for the occasion and
David got her pregnant again. This time she gave birth to another son whom she
called Solomon. Yahweh loved this son more than the first one. He would not
snuff baby Solomon.
Therefore, David’s murdering Bathsheba’s
husband and taking the man’s widow for his own wife was necessary. If David had not been a murderer and
adulterer, then Solomon would never have been produced, and the entire fate of
the world would have changed. Solomon eventually built a temple to honor
Yahweh. He was known as the wisest man in the known world during his lifetime.
Solomon sexual skill would also exceed those of his father, King David. Solomon
would eventually have many wives and concubines that would entertain him at
bedtime.
Jehovah
Gives Victory in War and Kills an Innocent Child
Did you ever wonder if Jehovah would
want a man to sacrifice his own virgin daughter? Would you, in your wildes
Jephthah was a
warrior for Jehovah. He also made a vow to Jehovah if the Ammonites were
defeated in war, the first person or animal greeting him when he returned in
triumph would belong to Jehovah. He vowed to kill and offer the creature as a
sacrifice and burnt offering. Jephthah kicked ass and
won the battle. He would fulfill his promise to God after returning to his
home. Jephthah assumed a lamb or sheep would run up
to him as he entered his property or perhaps one of his servants, which he consider
expendable. Instead, his beautiful young virgin daughter greeted him warmly
while dancing to the beautiful sound of tambourines. She was his only child.
Jephthah was heartbroken when he saw her. He screamed at her; “You have joined
those who bring misery into my life!” He granted her a two-months
leave to go into the mountains and morn over her virginity. She knew that she
was to be murdered by her father and dearly wanted a normal life and children.
When she returned two months later, her father Jephthah fulfilled his vow to
Jehovah by murdering his only daughter and sacrificing her as a burned offering
to Jehovah. Blessed is the name of Jehovah. ----Judges Chapter 11
