Pope: Abolish Death Penalty

[Yeshua1]

You said "NO"

Jesus would not stone a person for murder. I'm with Jesus.

The same jesus that stoned Sodom, correct?

Called anyone a fool?

Good point.
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell [Matthew 5:22].

Jesus: "You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?" [Matthew 23:17].
Is Jesus guilty enough to go into the fiery hell?-- Yes or No.

Paul: "You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies [I Corinthians 15:36].
Is Paul guilty enough to go into the fiery hell?-- Yes or No.

R U going to answer, utilyanst? The crickets are wearing out their hind legs.

Sure. Fact I thought you were furthering my point.

Is Jesus guilty enough to go into the fiery hell?-- Yes or No.
Is Paul guilty enough to go into the fiery hell?-- Yes or No.

I don't make judgement calls.

1 Corinthians 4

3But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. 4For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. 5Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.



This is simple matter, suppose you or your own child is guilty of whatever you think deserves death penalty, you think Jesus would throw the switch to execute?

Siimple matter, suppose you or your own child is guilty of whatever you think deserves death penalty, you think Jesus would throw the switch to execute?

Jesus will, in fact, do that to billions, considering that he said "multitudes" choose the easy road to destruction and "only a few" find life. And it doesn't matter if it's my child [but I have none]-- God is no respecter of persons, so no one is going to be saved from that fate based on whose child he or she is.

So I answered your question, knowing you did not answer mine, and most likely will not. As for 'judgment calls,' Jesus already said so to that-- if you say "you fool," you are guilty enough for the fiery hell, and both He and Paul did say "you fool." What are you afraid of by failing to affirm what Jesus said?
