I feel like vomiting from the ignorance in this thread... this is why Christianity should NOT be respected. Stop praying to fake men in the sky, stop going to church, and read some good literature (not fairy tales AKA The Bible). :fume:

P. S .  If you are young Im sorry for coming off so hostile but i do encourage you to think for yourself and study other things than what is force fed to you by your parents and/or peers.

hammurabi code


If similarities are an issue, then it is easily argued that God instilled us all with a common moral ethos, so it would be natural that all man would come up with similar common law. You still have a chicken and egg problem; where did they get it from? The bible answers that question. The CoH allows for immoralities (prostitution, polytheism, polygamy, etc), while the Bible is morally superior, which also would explain that the Babylonians were pagans at the time, having borrowed from the ethos of the Judaic God, while changing other things to match their own desires. If you do some looking around, or compare the two yourself, you'll see stark differences to the point that it is obvious the Bible was clearly not borrowed from the CoH. However, I concede this could be argued from either side, but the point is, it's not conclusive.

Additionally, this is actually more support for the bible. Critics used to claim that the writings in Moses were far ahead of its time, too advanced, but the Code of Hammurabi shows that this is not so, and that this time period was not as "stupid" as we originally thought.

edit: Nevermind, you were just answering his incorrect quote from the bible, showing that it was actually from the CoH.

Matthew 7:1-5 ESV / 633 helpful votes

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
