*Murder in the Bible*🗡🛡

If the founding text shapes the whole

religion, then Judaism and Christianity

deserve the utmost condemnation as

religions of savagery. [Philip Jenkins,

“Dark Passages ,” The Boston Globe,

Mar. 8, 2009.]

The act of murder is rampant in the Bible.

There are countless examples of mass

murders commanded by God, including

the murder of women, infants, and

children.The following passages are

a very small percentage of the total

passages approving of murder in the Bible.

They are divided here into three parts:
🗡1) Capital Punishment Crimes.
🗡 2) Murdering Children, and
🗡3) Miscellaneous Murders.

This list is long, but it barely scratches

the surface of all the murders approved

of in the Bible.

Priests*
