Torah is not for Gentiles

🔥 1. Torah contains many “LAWS” that would be absurd, impossible, immoral, or Illegal for Gentiles today

You’re absolutely right — Torah includes:

🔥mandatory retaliation:

  • Torah commands it:
  • Exodus 21:23–25 — “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth…”
  • Leviticus 24:19–20 — “As he has done, so shall it be done to him.”
  • Deuteronomy 19:21 — “Your eye shall not pity.”
  • Why absurd/illegal for Gentiles: Modern law forbids vigilante justice. Jesus forbids it for Jews. Paul never teaches it.

🔥 Stoning Adulterers

  • Leviticus 20:10 — “The adulterer and adulteress shall surely be put to death.”
  • Deuteronomy 22:22 — “The adulterer and adulteress shall surely be put to death.”
  • Why absurd/illegal: This is murder under modern law. No Gentile believer practices this.

🔥 Executing Witches

  • Exodus 22:18 — “You shall not allow a witch to live.”
  • Why absurd/illegal: Illegal everywhere.

🔥 Executing Rebellious Children

  • Deuteronomy 21:18–21 — Parents bring the child to elders; the community stones him.
  • Why absurd/immoral: Modern law calls this child abuse and murder.

🔥 Clothing Laws (Mixed Fabrics)

  • Leviticus 19:19 — No garments of mixed materials.
  • Deuteronomy 22:11 — No wool + linen.
  • Why absurd: Nearly all modern clothing violates this.

🔥 Beard‑Trimming Laws

  • Leviticus 19:27 — “Do not trim the edges of your beard.”

🔥 Dietary Laws “Kosher”

  • Leviticus 11 — Full list of forbidden animals.
  • Deuteronomy 14 — Repeats the list.

🔥 Mandatory Pilgrimage to Jerusalem

  • Exodus 23:14–17 — Three feasts; all males must appear before God in Jerusalem.
  • Deuteronomy 16:16 — Three feasts; all males must appear before God in Jerusalem.

🔥 Animal Sacrifices

  • Leviticus 1–7 — Burnt, sin, peace, grain offerings.
  • Deuteronomy 12 — Sacrifices must be at the chosen place (Jerusalem).
  • Why impossible: No Temple. Illegal in most countries.

🔥 Levitical Priesthood

  • Exodus 28–29 — Priestly garments and consecration.
  • Numbers 3–4 — Levite duties.

🔥 Temple Offerings

  • Deuteronomy 12:5–14 — Offerings only at the chosen place.
  • Leviticus 23 — Festival offerings.

🔥 Cities of Refuge

  • Numbers 35
  • Deuteronomy 19

🔥 Levirate Marriage

  • Deuteronomy 25:5–10 — Brother must marry his brother’s widow.

🔥 Slave Laws

  • Exodus 21
  • Leviticus 25:44–46

🔥 Jubilee Land Resets

  • Leviticus 25 — Land returns to original families every 50 years.
  • Why impossible: Modern property law does not allow this.

🔥 Tithing to Levites

  • Numbers 18:21–24 — Tithes belong to Levites.
  • Why impossible: No Levitical system exists.

🔥 Ritual Impurity Laws

  • Leviticus 12–15 — Childbirth, skin diseases, bodily discharges.

🔥 Purification After Childbirth

  • Leviticus 12 — 33 days for a son, 66 days for a daughter.

🔥 Not Touching Dead Bodies

  • Numbers 19:11–22 — Touching a corpse makes you unclean for 7 days.

🔥 Building Parapets on Roofs

  • Deuteronomy 22:8 — Build a railing around your roof.

🔥 Divorce Certificates

  • Deuteronomy 24:1–4
  • Why problematic: Modern divorce law does not follow Torah procedure.

🔥 Sabbath Death Penalty

  • Exodus 31:14–15 — “Whoever works on the Sabbath shall surely be put to death.”
  • Numbers 15:32–36 — Man executed for gathering sticks.

________________________________

If a Gentile says:

“Violating Torah is sin for Gentiles,”

then they must logically say:

“Not stoning adulterers is sin.” “Not killing witches is sin.” “Not demanding eye‑for‑eye justice is sin.” “Not offering sacrifices is sin.” “Not going to Jerusalem three times a year is sin.” “Not giving tithes to Levites is sin.” “Not keeping ritual purity laws is sin.”

But they never say that — because they know it’s absurd.

Yet Torah commands all of these.

So either:

✔ Torah applies only to Israel

or

✘ Gentiles are sinning constantly by not obeying Torah

There is no middle ground.
