It depends on what the "others" are doing.

Are we not to loathe anything?

I made a clear distinction between loathing and acting on that loathing in a way that harms others.

Until you're clear on it, no sense in continuing.

God said that murders and sexual perverts deserve death, do you agree with God?

Are you still under the old law? Number of witnesses, etc.? Will that work in this country? If you want your religious laws to replace our current system of state and federal laws, then you're a religious zealot.

Do you think that the death penalty for murderers has been eliminated? Where do you find that?
Number of witnesses, etc.?
2 or 3 witnesses is a good thing.
Will that work in this country?
Irrelevant as to it's justness.

I believe in God. If that makes me a religious zealot in your eyes, I'm fine with that. I've seen your lack of righteous standards throughout your posts here on TOL.

Under the old law, two or three witnesses were necessary, one wasn't enough. Under the new covenant, vengeance is not yours, it's the Lord's (and you are to be subject to the governing authorities).

So are you still under the old law?

Strawman. You're still conflating zeal with acting on that zeal in a way that harms others (zealotry), and then pretending I think you're a zealot for believing in God, when I've explained for you the difference between zeal and zealotry. Continuing with your misinterpretation is dishonest on your part.

Except it is not dishonest, it is a fact. For at least six years now everything the Left has said here has been a total lie, from Russia Collusion, to the GOP being racist when it is truly on the Left, to all the other lies about Trump, you lie about the babe in the womb being a human being with human rights, etc. . . . you have told all lies. I have watched, here, and in other forums.

These are facts:

Democrats are the party of sodomy (gay marriage)
Democrats are the party now of full infanticide, up to killing a baby at the time of birth
Democrats defend pedophile teachers/groomers (see below)
Democrats are for open borders
Democrats destroyed our energy independence and now gas is through the roof
Democrats are openly socialists, and that is bad
Democrats lie about a coup/insurrection. We all know there was none.

Need I go on? If you deny any of these things then you prove me correct.



Yes. Pedophiles. What is a pedophile: Oxford Languages says its "a person who is sexually attracted to children."

Why do pervert teachers want to engage their kids with sexual speech? I do not care if it is physical or mental, if a teacher feels the need to engage a child sexually, either with speech or touch, they are a pedophile.

Teacher after teacher in Florida literally feel grieved that they cannot talk to kids about gay sex. They refer to them as "my kids". These people are SICK and you democrats have supported them, and not only tat, you attacked the governor who was defending children.

Now, go ahead and lie about that too.

Leftist zealotry, not religious zealotry, is the danger to civilization.

And I don’t think I can bear to see the students struggle and want to ask me about these things and then have to deny them that knowledge,” she added. “That’s not who I am as a teacher.

This pervert thinks its her place to discuss things with kids that only a parent should discuss.
Of course it's not fact, it's simply your opinion and when you compartmentalize everyone to the center/left into some subjective and ill informed little box then that is dishonest. You're free to think Trump is the greatest president in history if you like, it doesn't make him immune from plentiful and deserved criticism or that he lost the last election. There's plenty on the left who are staunchly anti abortion, Rusha being a case in point, Like most people, there are nuances and not all on the left agree on all matters politics no matter how much you might want to paint them with a broad brush. FTR don't agree with anything to do with sex being taught in primary schools.

Was Jesus Christ a zealot?
No. He was not trying to control anyone. He was not trying to force anyone to believe anything, or to behave according to his beliefs. Jesus was a Jew, and Jews both then and now do not believe that anyone else needs to become a Jew, or follow Jewish religious beliefs, traditions or proscriptions to be right with God. When he spoke about following OT scripture, he ws speaking as a Jew to his fellow Jews. He was not speaking to you or I.

The new covenant is between God and Israel, just like the Bible says. You are not a reliable Bible "believer".
So are you still under the old law?
I was never under the law that God gave only to Israel. But the principles that the law was based on are just as valid as ever.

Let me know when you repent and believe God.

But you don't really know what's going on in society around you. Do you.
Yes! I sure do!

It's not that hard.

All you know is what the media you listen to tells you is going on. And we all know that they are often wrong, and that they lie, for various reasons. Do you really think the media you listen to is absolutely true and inerrant as well?
You are presenting a standard that is irrational, unnecessary and frankly stupid.

Just because some report can be wrong doesn't mean that I don't have any idea what's going on in the world. Besides that, its the media on your side of the isle that lies and is almost always wrong about everything it says to the point that you can know its on purpose!

It's just common sense.

Because if it's not, then I don't see why you presume yourself to be. And not one of us can see into the hearts and minds of another. Which is why as you judge others, so shall you be judged, and why as you forgive others, so shall you be forgiven.
Look, leave the bible quotations to someone who has a modicum of reading comprehension.

It not necessary to see into anyone's heart to rightly judge someone's words and actions. No one is putting their soul on trial - yet.

I don't know anything of the sort, and neither does he, or you.
Of course you do, liar - and so does everyone else. It's perfectly plain and the nose on your stupid face. Deny it all you like. No one is being fooled it - except maybe yourself.

But for some sad reason, you both have convinced yourselves that you do. Maybe because it helps you to feel so much more wise and righteous than those you judge and condemn.
My "feeling" has nothing to do with it. I know for a fact that I am wiser than anyone - ANYONE - who calls themselves a leftist.

Sort of like that guy that sit's in the front of the church thanking God for making him more wise and righteous than those poor sinners sitting in the back of the church having to beg for God's forgiveness.
You're such a fool. You are arguing against yourself! YOU are that guy, not me! You're so stupidly blind to you own hypocrisy that's it's laughable. You're just a buffoonish clown!

John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
