What Christ actually said was, [Jesus]"I did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill the law.[/Jesus]
So why do you insist that the law has been abolished? Do you even know how Christ fulfilled the law?
Yes He came to fulfill the law. He fulfilled it on the cross by taking our sins upon His body, because God knew that we would never be able to keep those laws and atone for our sins through those laws and rituals.
And what makes you think this has anything to do with salvation? Christ took care of that. His death makes it so that all can be saved. But it didn't make it so that we could commit murder, adultery or whatever and get away with it in the here and now. When someone commits a crime God wants them to be punished in the here and now, so they understand it was wrong, and turn from it. And so that many, seeing the punishment will never commit the crime in the first place. And all this so that many might be saved.
Who is disagreeing with this??? I sure am not. What did you do pick a few randon posts and try to figure out what everyone said? We are to obey the laws of the land. So far, those who commit murder, rape, child molestation etc, etc., are put into prison, and some murderers are being executed by lethal injection. NO LAWS FOR HOMO'S TO BE EXECUTED!!!
No!
Christ never said that He did not come to judge the world! That is a lie! And you are a liar for telling that lie!
Christ said that He [Jesus]"came not to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, night be saved.
And you are a liar for saying that I am a liar. Actually this was said twice, but using different wordage, yours in John 3:17 ~ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. This is the other one...John 12:44-47 ~
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not,
I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. .
I think that your "mask band" is to tight...or your tights!!! Until you get as many years as some on here in the Word, including myself, don't think that you can post a few verses and think that you are suddenly enlightened. It is a continuing learning experiance, and you are still young and into the "milk" of the Word as Paul referrred to it. The "meat" that he mentioned would blow your socks off.
And he also said that we should judge, in the here and now. Good Christians judge. They don't judge as hypocrites, or based on outward appearance, but they judge righteously.
Not the lost we don't. According to what I read, it says this...1st Cor 4:5 ~ Therefore
judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. Matt 7:1 ~
judge not, that ye be not judged. 2
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And are you suggesting that we kill those who liw to the Holy Spirit? You do realize that though that is a sin, it is not a crime, right? And that if we were to execute those who did that, it would be wrong of us to do, correct? God can kill people for commiting sins, but the government can only execute those guilty of capital crimes. And only God has any say what should be a capital crime.
Not even close. No understanding of what was said. I was referring to the only ones that God had killed in the NT was Ananias and Sapphira....judgement in other words.
And? That is the last day. This is now. And God's judgment is on whether or not somone goes into the lake of fire, not whether or not they die for committing a capital crime.
Yes, His judgement is upon those who do not repent, but we are also in a the age of grace and mercy for those
TO repent. No capital crime for homo's..nor will there ever be!!!
And?! He actually said that we should obey the law as far as it did not cause us to disobey Him. Abortion is legal, are you going to get one? Of course not! Why? Because you would be disobeying God if you did.
OT right?? God's laws are now written in our hearts through His Word and the Holy Spirit. Abortion, LOL!!!!??? If I do, I will be the richest Nana in the world for even being pregnant :rotfl: I would never abort a baby if I was pregant....because those laws that He fulfilled are now written in my heart..thou shalt not kill.
And God never said that we couldn't support the idea of His laws being in place. And that is all we are supporting. No one is supporting that we actually go out and execute homos. Only that the law should make it a capital crime to commit acts of homosexuality, as God said it should be one.
Where is that in the NT???
Really????? It's an old saying :doh:
You mean, "inside they are like tombs," correct?
No, Jesus stated that they are like white washed tombs on the outside. On the inside they are full of dead mens bones. Don't ya read the bible?
Another lie! Is it not possible for someone facing death to turn to Christ? Of course it's possible!
I agree with this statement!!
And that is exactly what I want to see happen! I want them to be saved before they are executed.
Bummer!!! I was just beginning to think that you had a heart until I got to this part.
They should always be given the chance to turn to Christ.
Kind of hard if you are thrown in prison where other homo's are burning in lust for each other. That's the same thing as throwing the Fox in the Hen house.
Of course, as it always has been, not eveyone will choose Christ.
Yeah, so instead of having them thrown into prison on death row, go out and witness to them.
But all who commit capital crimes would still receive capital punishment. Would I mourn the loss of those who did not accept Christ? Of course I would! Just as I would with murderers, adulterers, kidnappers, child molesters, and who ever else committed a capital crime.
I do not consider homosexuality a capital crime. It is a SIN. Might want to read these verses and get them in your heart where they belong:
Rom 2:1-6 ~ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man,
whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the
judgement of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same,
that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of
his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God; 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
You homo killers don't have a clue of the goodness, forbearance and long suffering of God. Don't forget that He waited on your sorry sinful butts to accept Him.
Luke 6:36-37 ~ Be ye therefore
MERCIFUL, as your Father also is
MERCIFUL. 37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
