Are you SDA or church of God?
Paul was church of God, how about you? Are you church of God?
Are you SDA or church of God?
Are you not aware that Mt Sanai is above each of us and it only takes one word of judgment from Moses Law to bring its full weight on our shoulders?
Paul was church of God, how about you? Are you church of God?
In this country we are not subject to Russian law or Arab law or Moses' law.
Paul explained there are two covenants and said, "So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free."
Quit abusing the bondwoman, she's not yours.
Do you forgive me?
You are a bigger sinner and lost to boot
I do.
Homosexuality is not a sin?yes and it should be
-homosexuality is not and should not be
-please don't confuse them
Translation: In order to show what loving Christians we are, we can't just kill them outright! That would be MEAN, and not according to God's plan!
We have to torture them first, otherwise they won't know how much we love them!!
Sick.
I think Clete should be banned.
Not to you, otherwise, half your priests would be in prison -yes and it should be
-homosexuality is not and should not be
-please don't confuse them
Well, it's not about a literal, single individual and given homosexuals come in both genders and he'd presumably execute more than one...it seemed like the right call.I see your point, but do not get the 'they' part? Are there two of them being dragged?
I don't invest much, personally, in hypothetical outrage, so for me it was more of a, "Really?" moment to couple with a light bit of dry notation.Are you as disgusted as I am?
Well, it is a sin, but it isn't a crime.Homosexuality is a sin and a crime. It used to be against the law even in this country but we have completely decriminalized it.
Absolutely.Child molestation is a sin and a crime.
Absolutely not.We are in the process of decriminalizing that too!
In point of fact, the age of consent has risen steadily since the turn of the last century.The age of consent has already been lowered to 16 in many places in the U.S.
I don't think a secular republic should be in the business of legislating morality, only defending against abrogation of right. So no Sharia and no stoning homosexuals.Any other "sins" (crimes) you think we ought to decriminalize?
Then let's just threaten all non-Christians with painful death in the name of swelling the ranks of the saved.Or is it that you think that I'm suggesting that sodomites cannot get saved or something. I'm not suggesting that. In fact, quite the contrary. The prospect of a painful, public death leads people to earnestly seek after God.
You should read the whole thread. I've repeatedly said the opposite of this. Killing them outright would be murder, not justice. The rule and due process of law is an indispensable aspect of criminal justice. Vigilantism is unjust.
According to who, you?Well, it is a sin, but it isn't a crime.
So glad you agree with God on something.Absolutely.
When was the last time someone was executed in this country for the rape of a child?Absolutely not.
Legalizing Sexual Child Abuse: Pedophilia Now Classified As A Sexual OrientationIn point of fact, the age of consent has risen steadily since the turn of the last century.
In the late 1800s here it was around 10 to 12 years of age here in the states. After a lot of hard work, female reformers were successful in having the age raised here. Most states were closer to 16 by the early to mid 1920s, with some straggling in later.
Why should I care what you think?I don't think a secular republic should be in the business of legislating morality, only defending against abrogation of right. So no Sharia and no stoning homosexuals.
This was a stupid thing to say. It has nothing to do with anything I believe or anything I've said on this thread. Can you seriously not think any more clearly than that?Then let's just threaten all non-Christians with painful death in the name of swelling the ranks of the saved.
Oh. So you convict them first, before you torture them and kill them so they'll know how much you love them.
Still sick.

I'm in my 60's, and for most of life I was not worried that this might happen.
But I have seen not only hints of that tide turning, but some even demanding it be so.
Yes, in exactly the same sense that the speed limits are set "according to a police officer". lain:According to who, you?
Too bad, because that was the only chance you had of being right on some level...by which I mean right about how you felt about it.I'm not offering my personal opinions here.
Almost right. It isn't a crime, no matter how anyone feels about it.It is a crime whether you want to acknowledge as one or not.
I don't disagree with God on any particular, though I have more than a few disagreements with some people who appear to think they speak for Him.So glad you agree with God on something.
We don't execute rapists of any sort that I know of and you know why? In large part because when we did that we found that we were inadvertently encouraging rapists to kill their victims.When was the last time someone was executed in this country for the rape of a child?
This will surprise you then: I know who won both World Wars and I can recite the Canterbury Tales in Middle-English...go figure.You don't know the answer because it's been since long before you were born.
In your mind or objectively speaking?What is the connection between homosexuality and child-molestation?
So you think that because someone put that in the headline of their bit on some website right before an article about Muslims prisoners suing Pamela Geller for wearing a polka do bikini that it's true?
I don't care if you care what I think. I'm rebutting a few of your wrong headed and factually deficient declarations. I don't expect you to stand up and cheer. It's really not about you. It's about the statements.Why should I care what you think?
Thanks. I was meeting you on your level to underscore the bone-headed nature of your premise:This was a stupid thing to say.
That one was altering the tides.The most loving thing to do with a homo is to convict him of his crime and execute him publically and painfully.
It really did.It has nothing to do with anything I believe or anything I've said on this thread.
Said the fellow who got the law wrong, the history of the law wrong and just about everything in between and following it. Yeah, I can think clearly enough to see the truth even when some of it isn't particularly palatable. I can understand the law even when I differ on it. And I can have a grasp of history without having lived through it.Can you seriously not think any more clearly than that?
Homosexuality is not a sin?
By what standard?
