I’ve never said criminals should go unpunished. Yes we do. Right. God killed them, Christians did not. God is the only one without sin that can administer the death penalty righteously. Right. Right Correct Yes He did Yes He did None of that negates the command from God for Christians to...

Right. We aren’t Israel. We are commanded to show mercy, just as God demonstrated mercy to Paul as an example for future Christians to follow. Paul was a murderer and the worst of all sinners by his own admission. 1 Timothy 1:15 Peace to you

I suppose that’s possible. Let everyone be bound by their own conscience. I would prefer the conversation remain focused on support (or not) for the death penalty specifically and not pacifism. Thanks for the comments Peace to you

That has been an ongoing debate in the Christian community since the first century. Many believe the teachings of our Lord Jesus require pacifism. There was a movie a few years ago about Desmond Doss. He was a congressional Medal of Honor winner while serving as a combat medic in WW2. He...

That was my response as well. I did, however, feel compelled to explore why I would accept the execution of a Christian. It led me to an exploration of scripture, which I documented above, and ultimately coming to the conclusion I must change my opinion to conform to 1 Timothy 1:15. To be...

The passage of scripture that changed forever my understanding of the death penalty is in 1 Timothy 1. As mentioned, the Apostle Paul murdered Christians. Paul states that God demonstrated mercy toward him, the worst of all sinners, as an example that future Christians should follow. This...

When Jesus was presented with the woman caught in adultery, he was asked to implement the OT Law, which was the death penalty. The OT Law required the testimony of two or three witnesses in such cases, which they had. The witnesses would throw the first stones and the blood was on their hands...

A close look at scripture shows God did not impose a death penalty until He gave the Law. Even then, the death penalty was not absolute. Prior to the flood (Genesis 9) Caan killed his brother and God did not demand the death penalty. He showed mercy instead. After the flood, before the law...

Genesis 9 is often used to claim God implemented the death penalty as the penalty for murder. It states that if a man sheds blood, by man his blood shall be shed. This is not reference to a state execution since there where no governments at that time, only Noah, his sons and wives. Genesis 9...

For most of my adult life, I was a strong supporter of the death penalty. That changed in the year 2000, and the execution of Carla Faye Tucker in Texas. A crack addicted prostitute, Tucker murdered an elderly couple with an axe pick, bragged about and was sentenced to death, and rightfully...

Ok that clears it up a little. I thought Santa was suppose to get $1500 first the appearance. Peace to you

I find the decision contradictory. Why make her pay 1/2 the fee ($750 instead of $1500)? Either it’s “all right” or it’s “all wrong”. Since she’s doing a Kwanzaa celebration along with the event, I see no problem with a black Santa. If you are merging 3 celebrations into one, you must expect...

If answered directly, would be very helpful understanding these posts. Peace to you

She’s not. Hate to be a downer, but this is not likely to end well. Peace to you

A spiritual realm where God, the spirits of the saints and the angels are. Also identified as the “third heaven”. The first heaven is the sky where the birds fly. The second heaven is space where the stars are. Both are part of the physical realm. Peace to you

Are you claiming Jesus is giving you direct revelation?…. Or…… Are you invoking the name of our Lord Jesus into partisan politics in an superficial and vain use of His glorious name? Peace to you

I stand corrected. My apologies Peace to you

Note the poster misquoted scripture to fit his doctrine, which is common in all his arguments. Readers beware those that must change the words of scripture to fit their bias. Matthew 7:13 says “many” attempt to enter broad gate that leads to destruction and “few” find the narrow gate that leads...

Ok, based on the passages you quoted I “figure” you agree with scripture and if a person can lose their salvation they cannot never get it back. Thank you for clarifying that you agree with me…. Twice lost always lost. Since we have it all figured out now, no need for further posts. Peace to you

As Jesus said, let your yes be yes and your no be no. Just answer yes or no. According to Hebrews 6, if a person loses their salvation, can they get it back? Peace to you
