Deuteronomy is the Old Testament and the verse is directed at Moses and the Israelites. There weren't even any Christians yet. Duh.
Furthermore the verse is referring only to apostates. That is, it refers to people who were Jews and then abandoned the faith.
Wait wait wait - are you saying historical context matters?![]()
hmmm, no, I'm not saying a thing about historical context, moron. I'm saying that verse does not tell Jews to kill anyone who doesn't believe in the Jewish god. It only tells them to kill apostates.
That is context. I don't believe you are allowed to use context - only literal quotes![]()
No, that isn't context. That's reading what the words actually say.
