🔥 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.

________________________________
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.
