This here. When God tells us to bring criminals to justice, He is exercising that right. To add to what you said: God has the absolute right to bring anyone from this life to the next at any point in time and for any reason and through any means He deems fit. Be that through a flood. Be that...

Why? There is nothing wrong with discussion. Just because we're biased on this forum doesn't mean we can't have civil dialogue about our beliefs. So long as you're not breaking the rules, we have no problem with you engaging in discussion against our position.

The answer is three-fold: 1) Because we're not God, and don't have authority to not punish criminals. God forbade judges from showing mercy to those who commit crimes. 2) Because NOT doing so teaches the child that he can get away with his actions. 3) Because NOT doing so turns the child into a...

I think you'll find that God specifically told Paul to avoid the cities of the churches addressed in Revelation. Took him completely around them. Jerusalem is not in Asia Minor. The churches in Revelation are. Coincidence? I think not.

Apparently this is a real thing that happened:

It happened. Even a cursory glance at the article and linked pages would tell you that. It normally wouldn't be a problem. This is just how far our society has collapsed. Threats to society should not be tolerated. Clete addressed this sufficiently, and I agree with him. We are not able...

I think God will do rightly on that side of the river. But punishments for crime must still occur. "Your eye shall not pity, life shall be for life."

For some things, at least, but he wants it only if there's "100% proof of guilt" or "beyond reasonable doubt" or "proven beyond doubt," to use his words. 6-year olds are apparently capable of attempted murder, at least in today's society,

Indeed! Unfortunately, we don't live in that kind of a society. And it's time for people like Arthur to acknowledge that fact.

Like I said. You're missing the forest for the trees, The ENTIRE "COLUMN" is evidence of a worldwide flood, Because ALL OF IT was laid down by water.

Well, it finally happened, Arty. [WARNING! Vulgarity Ahead] https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/unsealed-search-warrant-teacher-shooting-b2389818.html As far as I can tell, the woman survived. But the kid (6 years old) clearly fully intended to kill her. And you say that...

Yes, I cited the footnote. Did you not catch that bit? Please pay more attention. Regarding Psalm 82, as a whole, later in the verse, the same word is used again. Note what it says about these "gods": God stands in the congregation of the mighty;He judges among the gods. How long will you...

The only "true" Bible is the original autographs, which have since been lost to time. Scripture was scripture the moment it was written, not when it was later compiled. That being said, the copies we have are virtually identical to what was originally written (for example, compare the Old...

There wasn't that much. You just don't want to respond, because you know it completely blows whatever complaint you have against Scripture out of the water. Try reading the whole thing, and responding to each of the points I made. I dare you. I reject the "popular conception" of God. I...

So you're now retracting this? Or are you going to continue in your contradiction? No one is doing that. Uh. No. For one, your claim isn't even close to what the doctrine of the Trinity teaches. And more importantly, it's not what the Bible teaches either. For example: And now, O...

Or, you know, step in yourself to defend the innocent... Because police aren't always going to show up, let alone quickly.

If two vegans have a quarrel, is it still called beef?

People who claim that the "fossil record" is evidence of evolution are missing the forest for the trees, because in actuality, the "fossil record" is evidence for a global flood and a young earth.
