where you are confused is thinking that harsh justice is necessarily done out of some kind of anger. yeah the mob there was probably doing that, but were you part of that mob? you were seeing evil handle evil.
moreover burning her alive was a fitting punishment for something, god would not have allowed it otherwise. Sure we cant adopt the idea 'if they do this, we aught to repeat this punishment'. The actual punishment for murder in the bible is for the victims family to kill the perpetrator. If these guys were part of the community they might count as his family given he was so old and impoverished, and so it is potentially a fine example of the world actually working like god says its supposed to.
>>510506215this is the view of jews, muslims, and initially christians untill they couldnt help themselves and decide to go the way zoroastrians did and worship multiple entities and then redefine the meaning of worship to pretend they didnt do anything while pretending to be monotheists while insisting there are other powers.
