0 Deuteronomy : Politics

Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. 13:15

Trivia: If you hear of a city where people serve other gods, what should you do, according to Dt 13:12-17?

Deuteronomy : Politics (4)

  1. God will choose the king (and he won't be a foreigner). 17:15

  3. The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 28:43
    (See here for an example of how this verse is used to justify the mistreatment of immigrants by bible-believers.)
  4. Choose life (!) 30:19
