Ok, but you continue to avoid addressing the 1 Timothy passage Accepted, no worries. Peace to you

So? If God had given an absolute commandment that murderers would be put to death, that wouldn’t matter. Of course he did. He followed him, killed him, hid his body in the sand, then fled to avoid prosecution. I’m sorry, I didn’t see that part in the Law you quoted that the king was exempt...

I can. In John’s gospel. When the woman caught in adultery was brought before Jesus, He could have commanded both she and the man be stoned to death, in accordance with OT Law. Jesus said, “let the one without sin be the first to cast a stone at her” Jesus didn’t say this just to shame them...

And yet… The first murderer, Cain, was not put to death and shown mercy by God After the flood, before the Law, Moses murdered the Egyptian and was not “surely” put to death but was shown mercy by God. After the Law, David had Uriah the Hittite killed so he could have his wife. He was not...

No, and intellectually dishonest to even say it. My “stance” is what Apostle Paul told Timothy in 1 Timothy. I’m following God’s word. God showed mercy toward Paul, a murderer, as an example that future Christians are to follow. I notice that when people realize a passage of scripture...

The first Chapter of 1 Timothy. The Apostle Paul says he is the worst of sinners. Paul was a murderer. By his own admission, he persecuted Christians to the death. He tells Timothy that God showed mercy toward him as an example that future Christians are to follow. You cannot follow the...

You just cannot resist taking a dig at Donald Trump! Good grief. You are obsessed!! Peace to you

Actually, 1 Timothy covers it for Christians. Peace to you

And will guarantee they will never have another opportunity to respond to the gospel with saving faith. Bottom line, would you rather he be dead and in hell or saved and in heaven? Why not give that wretched man every second of his natural life to come to Christ? Just as a reminder.. we all...

Correct. Our Lord Jesus was publicly executed. Christians have been publicly executed throughout the centuries and still are in some places. In the U.S., a brief history of the death penalty will surprise you in what was considered a capital offense at various times. Peace to you

Scripture verses please where state sponsored execution is called biblical justice? I acknowledge God has given the state this authority, I don’t believe God wants Christians to support killing others. Start a thread on the death penalty and I’ll explain my understanding. I don’t want to...

It’s ok if we disagree. There was a botched execution just a few days ago. A woman was given lethal injection, but it wasn’t quite lethal. They took her to the hospital (why?) and she recovered somewhat, but may have suffered brain trauma. There will now be years of legal battles on whether...

I don’t support the death penalty and I think the live stream is a mistake. Christians have been publicly executed throughout the centuries, and still are today. During the Great Tribulation, Christians will be targeted around the world (the U.S. will not be an exception) and will no doubt be...

The state has the right to execute. Christians should not participate nor should we applaud the execution of anyone. BYW, I think he is at Fort Leavenworth Kansas, though he killed people at Fort Hood. BTW #2, “we will probably never know why he did it…’ Peace to you

Scripture verses to support you need to show what they believe is false IN ADDITION to preaching the gospel? Explained many times. You are incapable of understanding people in the OT were saved by grace, through faith in God’s promise of the coming Messiah. You preach the gospel. Should God...

Very nice Peace to you

I know questions in polls are often manipulated to get the result the pollster wants. Remember a poll in Iowa (I think) in the last cycle that predicted Biden beating Trump about a week out. This was a very respected pollster in Iowa. She ruined her reputation by publishing what was clearly...

Really? That’s your take away? To be clear, by my logic, don’t say anything that will distract from the gospel of Jesus Christ. For the record, YOU are the one that has repeatedly stated the gospel of Jesus Christ is not necessary for salvation. I expect preachers to not unnecessarily offend...

They predict Texas Senate seat to go Democrat, 55% chance. Probably all you really need to know about these predictions. If that stays repub, the Senate is tied, VP cast deciding vote. Peace to you

You are not looking at it from the tribal people point of view. The smoking of the pipe is significant to them, whatever the meaning. Very true, but nevertheless, let them be offended by the presentation of the gospel. This was viewed as an attack on their customs. That is not a presentation...
