And then executed.

If you're wrong, then you should at the very least, reconsider your position. The word used in the Hebrew means "young men," marke. It doesn't mean "little children." Just because the Bible is poorly translated in some places doesn't mean you get to insist that your opinion is correct simply...

Agreed. Im just saying, that if a person has presented a case against one's position, he should investigate to see if he truly is in error, and then if not, present a counterargument. Immediately doubling down on one's position by quoting scripture taken out of context dealing with three men...

Republicans, since 1960, have almost if not always outspent democrats when in office.

Hence why I posted the link. You should read it.

When someone tells you you've made a mistake, your first response shouldn't be to double down on it.

Romans 9-11 (not just 9:11) is specifically dealing with Israel (who is known as "the Elect Lady," which fits with other figurative descriptions of Israel throughout the Bible...). "Election" has very little to do with this topic at all.

Saying it doesn't make it so. And? This passage is often cited by atheists who want to accuse those who love God of cursing "little children." The Hebrew doesn't support the idea, though. Please read this article so that you don't make the same mistake again...

If it's anything like the sequel game to the game of the same name from 2013, then I'm not surprised at all. The original game was good, from the walkthrough videos I watched. The relationship between the two main characters was definitely father-daughter by the end, never anything sexual. The...

The problem is that you're trying to turn this into a mathematical equation. The value of a human life is infinite. God's value is infinitely greater. "Infinite" is not a number. It's a description. Forget redeeming someone else's life, a man cannot redeem his own life, because in order to...

The judge is allowed to appeal his case to judges that are above him. If he doesn't think he's competent enough, or if the case he presides over exceeds his jurisdiction, he can appeal his case to a higher judge. Why do you think a judge cannot confer with his peers, ask for wisdom from them...

The problem is that there are too many cases to begin with, because the system is incapable of dealing with crime, and since it is incapable of dealing with crime, the amount of crime keeps going up. It's a horrible feedback loop that cannot be solved by your position. And the fact that there...

Because it would let too many guilty walk free. Which deters other criminals from committing crime. Fewer criminals committing fewer crimes means fewer executions overall, which means that a judge is less likely to make a mistake, and less likely to put an innocent person to death, or to let a...

I would hope they come to their senses and repent before God and ask for forgiveness, so that they don't rot in hell.

https://kgov.com/bel/20110111 The first 7 minutes of this show dismantles the notion that "proof beyond [reasonable] doubt" is a good standard. Also from 7:09 to 20:17.

Except we have. But you do. What you advocate for will result in murderers and rapists being set free. Most cases, that is not possible, and would result in most criminal being let go due to lack of sufficient evidence. But they won't be convicted, based on your standard, because there...

No. God reconciled the world though Christ's death. But that's not the end of the verse, is it? For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. - Romans 5:10...

People are alive to God when they are born. When they sin, they die, and the only thing that will restore that "alive-ness" is a relationship with God. That's why Paul contrasts "death" being "wages" against "life" being "the gift of God." He's not talking about physical death, the death of the...

If they haven't sinned, they won't.

Basically, in other words, I think that putting a lower limit on someone's age whom we should witness to is not only an extremely dangerous thing to do, for both the one witnessing and the unsolicited, or perhaps, already solicited, but also potentially extremely arrogant.
