Yup, except you are denying that as Christians, we are part of the State, making it OUR responsibility to maintain order. See Ordo Amoris. As Christians, we do not have one responsibility.

Wrong. See post #113. Wrong. See post #113. Wrong. Most judges in America are Christian. See post #113.

I came across this article and thought some would find it edifying. https://www.wnd.com/2026/10/bible-is-law-book/

I saw a table a couple of months ago that showed in 8 countries Somalians made up more recipients of welfare than any other group.

I have to disagree with you here @Jack. I know you feel strongly about but killing and murder aren’t the same. Consider the burden these verses put on us: Micah 6:8 The LORD God has told us what is right and what he demands: "See that justice is done Romans 13:4 if you do what is wrong, be...

This is why throughout all of human history, the families of those murdered are not given the burden to execute justice. People know revenge is not a virtue. This is why God says vengeance is his.

Magic plays a critical role in many stories, overtly or covertly. The problem with many sequels is they over rely in at at the expense of story telling. Prophecies in The Matrix, Star Wars, Lord of The Rings, Dune, to name a few.

Why are they outraged?

How does half a soul get stolen? That‘s a novel idea.

Because the converse is the case; they hate God and despise the elect knowing their hate disqualifies them.

Yes. Doctrine is besides the point of THE PERVERSION OF EQUALITY. Or more precisely, THE PERVERSION OF EQUALITY prevents further critical thinking. It is we, the elect, that embrace a doctrine with the term. Those who are not elect and those who embrace THE PERVERSION OF EQUALITY are nearly...

Thanks for starting this thread. IMO, the cultural opposition is rooted in what I call THE PERVERSION OF EQUALITY. Adherents bristle at the idea of an “elect,” precisely because it implies inequality with and even superiority to the non-elect. The Adversary will find it easy pickings for a...

Agreed.

This stat is part of the vid, which also identified research done by the University of Miami that 88% of those executed by lethal injection had less anesthesia than required for surgery and 43% were aware enough to feel the fire going through their blood stream of what stops the heart, severe pain.

It seems we’re having trouble communicating. My point was not in opposition to the theory of capital punishment, per se. My point was that we should not fool ourselves that in practice executing someone is inherently barbaric and brutal. The only reason this thread exists is because our attempt...

And what about recognizing people make immoral choices?

So you say. Just because you’re offended doesn’t make you right. The question of the thread has nothing to do with God’s law; the question is about the evidence in the Bible where having sex with a prostitute is condoned or allowed.

Once again, you’re imposing your morality onto your Creator. What’s odd is that your morality trumps your metaphysics. Surely, a Creator would not require evolution to take so much time to prove evolution …

I’m not talking about a book. The same with sin, people making immoral choices. Maybe I missed it but I asked if you recognize that. The answer to the question of why I believe so strongly is that I had an experience with the living God. It’s not about what a book says to start. Once your on...

We’ve already discussed tacit approval. Even @marks admits it was allowed in the Bible.
