What acts are punishable by death in the Bible?

Answer 1

Summarized: If you are a virgin on wedding night, if you cuss out your parents, if you have sex with an animal, if you work on sunday, if you are the son of a sinner, if you believe in the wrong gods, if you blaspheme the lord of Israel, for living in the wrong city, if you don't listen to the priest's decision, teasing a prophet, being a witch or accused of witchcraft, if you are gay, if you are a fortune teller, if you are a baby and your parents are in the wrong place at the wrong time, if you have sex outside of marriage, if you are in a city with a nonbeliever, if you are a false prophet, if you are a prophet and you tell someone to hit you and they don't hit you, then Jesus sends a lion to kill you. Among many many others

More Rape and Baby Killing

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)

God Will Kill the Children of Sinners If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins.

Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God

Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

(1 Kings 20:35-36 NLT)
