social destruction is world's problem. Jesus says let the dead bury their own dead.
The world is spiritual dead.
Meshak are you alive right now? Do you understand that your own life is in danger because of choices that other people make? Do you believe in self-defense? If someone tries to kill you, would you fight it, or not?
You are talking about politics. Defending myself is not politic. sheesh.
No, this concerns politics. I'm talking religion.
Given that the death penalty is not an option, and that because of it, there are many people who are alive instead of dead, who should be dead, because they are a clear and present danger to the human species; then what should we the Church do?
you are making circle.
Yes, you are making worldly things is the same as spiritual things.
I understand many Christians have no problem getting involved with politics. You need to study what Jesus teaches, friend.
Do you know what is "of the world" mean?
If you do, please explain.
thanks.

Do you believe that's what God would have wanted you to do?
Do I believe that promiscuity deserves the death penalty, yes I do.

All that is contrary to chastity. Including pedophilia. Maybe fornication's a better word but promiscuity is a clearer word, at least I thought, before this post, of yours.

Anything unchaste? So you'd most likely have to put to death every male, at some point during his adolescence.
At this rate.
I hadn't noticed. So do you have any new thoughts, on what we the Church should do about all the sinning, if we take for the sake of argument that we should not kill people for any reason?
So you don't take Jesus' word of His followers are not of the world?
Augustine wrote a lot about the vice of lust.
He teaches that during intercourse, your body is debasing your soul- a person is spiritually dead at the point of climax, and such a desire is a rejection of the fruits of the Spirit.
It's not so difficult a thing to understand as it is harsh- Augustinian theology is largely uncompromising.
He was also concerned about stumbling blocks playing at men, maintaining that Eve is precisely that to Adam, from the very first sin on

I just mentioned you what Jesus says.
You seem to upset.
