For one familiar with the Bible, you are surprisingly resistant to accept figurative language.

Are you truly asserting the mob did not influence the verdict - then, with Jesus or now, with Chauvin?

There is such a thing as justified use of force up to homocide. That is what I’m defending. Don’t kid yourself, Law and Order (in this world) is only possible with force. Giving the benefit to criminality is a fools errand.

Your opinion. Not Scripture.

You can’t answer a question with a question.

What verse is that?

My wife is fond of saying, It's about relationships not religion.

Yes, provided the acceptance criteria has been established. On a host of topics, not having to do with religion, I've noticed debate goes sideways, not for lack of evidence but lack of acceptance criteria. No matter the subject - political, legal, philosophical, theological, personal...

Psalm 19 comes to mind.

Are you playing with me now? Indeed.

Yes. Quoting a part one wants to respond to is common, isn't it? True but besides the point, which is not about God but about having to offer proof. Do you know what a converse statement is? While true that ALL RECTANGLES ARE SQUARES, not all squares are rectangles. I think that is what is...

Well, there are the heroes who died horribly in Hebrews 11:35-38. But the evil thrust upon them were from other people - not Satan.

This is what I mean about generic posts. This statement can be made in every thread.

Again, never true. Let me tell you my story. I was an unbeliever. The Holy Spirit reached out to me in my state of disbelief in what I later learned is Prevenient grace. I am a witness. Don't tell me God does not exist and don't tell me you have to believe before you see the evidnce! If you do...

Never true. While faith is the evidence of things not seen, there is evidence to be seen. As I was doing my devotional reading today, I realized how much of the Bible is recorded history. These events actually happened, e.g., the conquest of Canaan. (I like history but know many do not.) So, if...

This is precisely why it is irrelevant to the OP. The personal relationship angle answers a different question and is irrelevant even though true.

You write eloquently but generically. Almost all of your posts are unresponsive to the point in every thread. It's all about Jesus. Forgiving is important. It's a matter of faith. Yup. Repeat.

John 1 is talking about God not Jesus until verse 12. The word of God became flesh, not God himself.

It is implied. Reading comprehension. Otherwise, the text has no practical application.

Conditionally, yes. I've been told this is now illegal but I recall growing up hearing on TV shows police saying, "Stop or I'll shoot." This means you have about 1 second to live or change your behavior. This was basically the story in a media hyped case of a guy in Baltimore, I think, resisting...
