Well, there is this egregious action by the NRA which rather supports the headline in the OP: NRA sues as Florida signs gun-control law

...according to your interpretation of Scripture... And that still doesn't answer the fundamental point about how you as a 'Godly society' would protect women from sexual harassment in the workplace and out of the workplace.

Well, show me his immigration papers, lol! More seriously, his lot killed and enslaved large swathes of the indigenous population, so much so that they had to start importing slave labour from Africa - that enough illegal acts for you?

Assuming of course that salvation and sanctification are the same thing...

Jo Brand silences all-male panel on Have I Got News for You – video

So how do you protect your women from being verbally sexually harassed? Or do they just have to put up with it in a kind of medieval sort of way?

And of the fact that he's a misogynistic bellend...although that shouldn't be a crime necessarily. If you verbally abuse a cop in the US who's ticketing you, does that get you an extra citation?

He wa convicted of being an obnoxious git

And then we have this piece of joyful news: Church seeks information about sexual history of teen rape victim – Baptist News Global I have no words....

Very sad; the son of a flawed genius

You don't know me from Adam so you make blanket assumptions about me. Up until the Crusades, yes - Christian atrocities at the storming of Jerusalem did indeed exceed anything perpetrated by the Muslims on Christians up until then. Thereafter the level of Muslim violence ramped up. The point...

Let me know how that worked out for David Koresh and his band of heretics

Yep. The 'Guvmint' is always going to have more soldiers with bigger guns than you. So what's the point?

I suppose you could characterise me as a partial preterist. I prefer the term orthodox preterist, since my position is consistent with and loyal to the position of the Ecumenical Councils and thus the mind of the whole Church on the issue.

At the risk of sounding like a Red Letter Christian, I think it has to be read through the lens of Jesus' words on the topic in the Gospels, to which I referred earlier. Paul is writing prior to the destruction of the Second Temple whereas pretty much everyone agrees that the Gospels were...

A desire to live sharia is not the same as wanting to kill everyone. Sharia has far more to do with regulating relations within the Muslim community rather than between Muslims and non Muslims in practice. But you're right about them being 'behind the curve' compared to Christians on the...

I answered the first time. You didn't read my answer.
