SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A Singaporean judge sentenced a man to four months in jail for stealing a Bible, admonishing him with Scripture before hauling him off to prison, The Straits Times newspaper reported Wednesday.
District judge Bala Reddy also gave a new Bible to the 26-year-old thief, who said he had tried to steal the book from a bookshop last month because he wanted to replace his old, tattered copy.
At the Tuesday sentencing, the judge told the defendant -- who has previous convictions for theft -- to open his gift.
"You will see at page 65 that it says "Thou shalt not steal. While you are in prison, sit in prison and read the Bible, and ensure that you don't come before the courts again," Reddy said.

Had that man been in America, he could've gotten away with stealing the Bible. And I say that, because the Bible isn't respected in America as it is around the world. U.S.A. is getting further and further away from the foundation it was built on...the Word of God.
Shameful.

Please know...threats of hell and bible scriptures are futile-look at your church if you don't believe me! Get your 'body of christ' in order and then come talk to me.
