Ferd, according to some here, those events were before Calvary and therefore don't count as proper examples. Show something after Calvary is what they want to see.
I'm personally thinking of throwing out my Bible before Calvary because it appears that none of it matters.
Now that I think about it, wasn't Cornelius a centurion? I don't remember reading about him renouncing being the captain over a hundred men. In fact, the Bible describes him as being a devout man man who feared God. And this was before his conversion and after Calvary!
So then to some here it would be wrong to call 911 if my wife was being sexually assaulted.
The police may shoot the man and ultimately his blood would be on my head for calling 911.
I better make sure the Mrs. has cookies baked at all times so I can offer the attacker one if it happens. I mean I gotta love my enemies right? When he's done should I escort him to the next house too if he doesn't have a ride?
Seriously this is crazy, we must follow OT standards, but not OT protection of our families? Any man that would lord over how his wife even wears her hair, but not protect her from danger in the time of need is no man in my eyes.

Oooops! You mean people around here pick and choose what OT principles and scriptures are valid for today's NT church? Say is isn't so, Brother!
