Again, because you still don't get it yet: Romans 1 is not "OT." Paul, in the New Testament, says that criminals such as murderers and the sexually immoral "are deserving of death." Paul is advocating the death penalty! I don't know how to make it any clearer! In a nutshell: Because God...

I'm not talking about sin. I'm talking about crime. The best way to do that is by punishing criminals swiftly and painfully. Ergo, death penalty, corporal punishment, and restitution. Not prison. "Punishment" is the meting out of justice. It is literally the application of the Golden...

No one here has claimed to be a god. You might not, but that's just because your position is founded on not being able to know anything at all. (Yet somehow you're able to know some things?) We Christians, on the other hand, at least those of us here on TOL, know that the reason God hasn't...

@Clete Didn't you already have a thread on this?

Then why ask about the Mosaic Law, when I'm talking about Romans 1? Again, Romans 1 is not "Old Testament." Do I literally have to spell it out for you? In Romans 1, Paul is talking about people who are deserving of death, and mentions, among others, homosexuals and murderers. God's...

Yes, that's literally what I was talking about. Being made a new creature is not being "born again."

Have you listened to these? https://kgov.com/jehovahs-witnesses-secretly-recorded We know.

I'll probably watch it on Amazon Prime Video at some point. I've added it to my watchlist.

Romans 1 is not the Mosaic Law. Haven't you ever read it? Here, I'll quote it for you, so that you don't even have to get your Bible out: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,because what may...

Yeah, what good buddies they were... Better than permanent life loss...

I will say that aiming for the head was overkill, and perhaps unjustifiable, but that's what happens when people live on edge...

And good riddance!

PureX, I know you love ignoring posts which show you to be the sinner that you are, but this one needs an answer.

It's called the Bible. New-age nonsense. You need to get your eyes checked, at the very least. Among other things. You'd hate the God of the New Testament then (He's the same God in the Old Testament, btw). If even half the world abided by what is written in the Bible, the world would...

Romans 1 is not in the Old Testament. I am a Mid-Acts Dispensationalist. Boasting in yourself, I see. Hate to break it to you, but Christ needs to be glorified. Quit boasting in your own works. Except that you constantly boast about how perfect you are now. That's not honoring God.

No. Killing is either a crime or it's justified. The circumstances surrounding it determine which it is. Murder is the unjustifiable taking of a life, which is what makes it illegal. Yours may not be, but God's are. I asked you in order to test your beliefs. It doesn't mean we cannot know...

I need to visit the museum at some point. It's the one thing I want to visit that I just haven't been able to yet.

I stop there every so often. It's a worthy place to visit.

It's a rare thing for me to agree with both of you in the same thread on the same topic, but it's definitely refreshing!
