I responded to the post CM made.
... with a post that was off topic to what was being discussed among myself, Cabinet, and Clete.
That is not "butting in".
Yes, it is.
Oh for pete sake, stop being so illogical.
There is nothing illogical about what I said.
I acknowledged that your questions existed and said it it was not the direction I was interested in.
Then you shouldn't have posted anything in this thread.
Good grief, out of one side of your mouth you say you have the right to act insulting towards people because the Lord did,
Yes.
and then out of the other side of your mouth you claim we shouldn't act like the Lord did.
There's a difference between being insulting as Christ was insulting (imitating Christ), and not killing the innocent because we don't have the right to do so, and thus doing so would be wrong.
Talk about being illogical...
So God did not create man to live their first stage of life here on this earth, and then their second stage of life with Him?
Instead of attacking my position with logical fallacies (such as your usage of an appeal to the stone here), try responding rationally.
If you want to keep hounding me about your silly questions after I have already said it is not the direction I want to go in then knock yourself out.
Or, I'll just remove you from this thread, since you don't seem to be interested in staying on topic.
It's a can of worms with way too many variables.
It really isn't.
The only reason you think it is, is because you've never actually sat down and learned what "justice" means.
Give your own answers if you think they will hold up to scrutiny without any Christian foundation.
Fine, since you won't be able to respond here anymore anyways, I will.
The answers are as follows:
Do you believe that we (that is, modern human governments; I'm not talking about the Body of Christ, but rather of governmental responsibilities) should put to death those guilty of murder, adultery, kidnapping, rape, pedophilia, and/or other capital crimes? |
Yes, Human governments should, without showing any mercy, put convicted murderers, adulterers, kidnappers, rapists, pedophiles, and those guilty of other capital crimes, to death, quickly and painfully, without fail.
SO THAT...
All would-be murderers, adulterers, kidnappers, rapists, pedophiles, and ALL other criminals, not just those who would commit capital crimes, should be deterred from committing those crimes.
BECAUSE...
God gives a guarantee that if you punish a criminal swiftly and painfully, men will be deterred from committing crimes.
Question, Tam: Do you know what the punishment for perjury (bearing false witness) should be? |
The punishment for perjury should be that the perjurer (the one who bears false witness) shall have done to him what he hoped to have done to the one he was bearing false witness against.
If the false witness bore false witness against someone in a case where the crime that was (allegedly) committed was a capital crime, then the false witness, upon conviction, should be put to death.
If he bore false witness in an assault case, he should be flogged.
If he bore false witness in a crime involving finances, he should be forced to pay the amount he hope to have the falsely accused pay, TO the falsely accused.
See? That wasn't so hard. Not a can of worms at all!
And BOTH answers come STRAIGHT from the Bible.
