You then live under a non-existent covenant that does not adhere to justice.

No one has suggested that you should. What we are talking about is what bible believing Christians as well as anyone else who is interested in seeing justice done should advocate that the laws SHOULD BE. It does and you will. I'm telling you that your knowledge of the scriptures is on level...

You win the prize for patience, JR! You've got me beat. That's for sure!

You hope that I'm right? There isn't any question at all that I'm right and you know it. As of right now, I no longer consider you to be a Christian. You're a left wing, religious hack that wouldn't know the living God if He showed up to slap your prideful face. Your economic worldview is...

You are truly and idiot. If that's how you do doctrine, it's no wonder that you're so upside down on practically everything. That isn't at all relevant. Far fewer than have died at the hands of criminals that should have been put to death. FAR FEWER! You are literally stupid. There isn't...

Exactly. As if justice has somehow changed since the time of Moses.

Is there ANYTHING that you believe that is biblical? I'm beginning to doubt it! Luke 23:40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has...

Wow! That's one I hadn't noticed before. That's a tough one to explain, or, at least, it isn't as intuitively understood as the other examples that have been shown. What do you suppose was going on there?

That is the best post I've read on TOL in years! COMPLETELY BRILLIANT!!!! 👏👏👏👏

How so? God is what He is. What does "the epitome of absoluteness" even mean? For that matter, what does it mean to say the God is all powerful, all knowing, all wise, and all present? Are you certain that those ideas are biblical? They sound Greek to me, as in Aristotelian. Biblically, we...

How so? How is Derf's line of reasoning wrong there? Is there any moral "credit" I receive for having not melted San Fransisco in a ball of nuclear fire? I have no ability to do such a thing, right? Not that I would do so, if I could, but what if I would but don't because I can't? Do I get...

"of evil" God is not a man, that He should repent.....OF EVIL! We have to remember that the bible was not written by a lawyer and that language isn't the rigid thing that some want to pretend it to be. You have to spend some effort to stay on the same page with the author of whatever it is...

I'm not talking about American jurist prudence. I'm talking about Exodus 20:16. Exodus 20:16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. I didn't say anything about battle. However, there's more than one kind of battle and we are all the time fighting against the enemies of...

There are, of course, times when telling anything other than the entire truth is an immoral lie, such as when one is giving testimony in court but the overall biblical teaching is that whether a lie is immoral or not has to do with the motive of the lie. It is not wrong, for example, to deceive...

:ROFLMAO: LOL!!!! :ROFLMAO: If brains were dynamite, you couldn't blow the fuzz off of a peach!' Best to stick to whatever echo chamber you count as a church.

What are you talking about? Do you actually believe that the laws are being enforced? Don't answer. I don't care what you think - if you do think.

This is a rabbit trail but I can't resist.... Given your statement above, what do you do with the following passage... I Kings 22:19 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on...

Lon, Algebra is logic. It is not "higher logic" it's just logic. It works BECAUSE its logic. Yes, algebra is more complex than simple counting but so is adding and subtracting. Multiplication and division are still more complex than adding and subtracting but its all still math and math is...

There are several reasons. The only one that pertains to you is the fact that practice, even practice against morons, helps keep these issues fresh in my mind. If I had people of reason and of sound mind to debate with, like used to be here on TOL, then I'd debate them exclusively and completely...

Enforce the laws that are already on the books. Duh!
