We read in the bible specifically the Tanach ( Old Testament ) where Yahweh gives a list of laws/Commandments which must be obeyed.. One of the Commands given by Yahweh is not to steal...
---------------------
You shall not steal.
(Exodus 20:15)
"'Do not steal. "'Do not lie. "'Do not deceive one another.
(Leviticus 19:11)
---------------------
From the above it's pretty clear one should not steal a beautiful message no one can disagree with right? Christians make a big fuss about Islamic ruling on stealing the accused hands has to be chopped off?? Well firsty that's not the only ruling based on theft or stealing there are certain conditions that have to be met before applying such laws But one has to QUESTION WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENT FOR STEALING ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
(Exodus 22:2 KJV)
This is supported by the talmud with more elaborated statements:
------------------------
Talmudic Code Law for Crimes: Theft (6-12, 21-25)
[6] If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death.
[8] If any one steal cattle or sheep, or an ass, or a pig or a goat, if it belong to a god or to the court, the thief shall pay thirtyfold therefor; if they belonged to a freed man of the king he shall pay tenfold; if the thief has nothing with which to pay he shall be put to death.
[14] If any one steal the minor son of another, he shall be put to death.
[21] If any one break a hole into a house (break in to steal), he shall be put to death before that hole and be buried.
-----------------
So we take it from the bible and oral law stealing is offence which deserves capital punishment.. Not cutting the hands ?? Bible tells us if the thief is caught & you happen to kill him, then you haven't done anything wrong? Talmud is so explicit it sanctions capital punishment! What's worse killing or cutting hands??
Next time Christians brag sharia law say cut the hands of thiefs, tell them the bible and oral law says explicitly kill the thief!!!!
