There’s a video circulating which has Dutch pranksters take the Bible and put a dust cover over it implying that it is the Koran. They then cherry pick some harsh Bible verses (mostly from Leviticus), read those verses and interview people as to what they think of these verses (assuming they think it is from the Koran). Then they reveal that is actually from the Bible. I won’t bother linking to it as it has some vulgar words in it.
What is frustrating is that the video makes some major edits in the Bible. My major beef with the video’s edit is below.
“I do not allow for a woman to teach…you will have to cut off her hand…do not forgive her.”
No where in the initial verse where it says to cut off a woman’s hand if she teaches. Rather it is taken from two verses on the other side of the Bible.
“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man, she must be quiet.” – 1 Timothy 2:12
“If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.” Deuteronomy 25:11-12.
So we see that these Dutch pranksters have an agenda to push, even going as far as to splice verses together to get their point across. Nevermind that it is fictionalize. Plus no one realizes that it is false.
The bottom line? Those being interviewed and those viewers watching the video don’t read their Bible. Instead they take it at face value and believe whatever these Dutch pranksters / media / their pastor / bishop / priest tells them.
Leviticus, like the rest of the Old Testament is not in effect today, as per below verse.
“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:24-26
