I, myself, am planning to copy this so that I can call this lesson to mind as needed! Such wisdom for life application! I love the synthesis he presents between the Old Testament and New Testament!

Jersey Girl, I am so flattered! Please make sure you emphasize Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
I see so many Christians today accepting gays as they are! They are being deceived by Satan into having empathy for these wicked people. It is truly disgusting! When God was running the show, we would have sent these depraved people to their graves!
There are just so many passages of the Bible that bring peace to my heart!
For choosing to worship another deity God punishes the Samaritans. Hosea "13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."
Isn't God great? Here he is so thorough that he doesn't spare the pregnant women, or the infants. He sure doesn't leave any rock unturned! I love God!
Now I'll share another verse from the New Testament!
John "3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
Here God in is infinite wisdom is reminding us to believe in him! Believing in something you can't see is really important to God! It's really important to him that you just take it on faith, otherwise he'll send his wrath!
Hello again! I have another scripture to share from the New Testament!
"25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels... 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."
Remember the judgement is final! With no second chances or opportunities to atone or otherwise redeem yourself! You have one chance, and you don't want to be sent to "everlasting fire." So don't screw this up! I can't wait to look down on all of those who didn't believe and laugh as they burn! They were so stupid for not having faith!
Today we have another scripture about how important it is not to get on the wrong side of God!
In this verse some of the Israelites had been whoring around with the daughters of Moab, and this is how God responds!
Numbers "25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel."
It is important to obey God! You certainty don't want to have your head hung up before God!
Psalms 137:9. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Isaiah 13:16. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
I hope there were some remaining children to the New Testament times, not dashed to pieces or against the stones...
Mark 10:14. (Luke 18:16) Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

One teaching that I think is very important is when you get involved in a fight with another bloke and your wife comes to help you out. It's important that she avoided making contact with the other man's man vegetables. If she inadvertantly connects a knee, a head butt or a grasp and twist of the aforementioned delicates, then she is to be put to death, even though she was only trying to help you.
That's in Deuteronomy I think.
