You keep confusing personal with corporate responsibility. There is a difference between my enemies and the enemies Of my State.

Yes! He was executed for treason, claiming to be the King of the Jews. What do you think flipping the tables was all about; non-interference of revenue collection. Did Jesus go on the internet in his day? Jesus drank alcohol. John did not. What some are called to do is not what all are called...

So much of what you write in this opening sentence, it reveals so much of your JW indoctrination. No acknowledgement the verse you cite doesn’t say what you claim. Reality: we ARE apart of the world. No one has to persuade me. Regarding the world being alienated from God, that is not totally...

From the POV of grace, one can understand the wisdom of the command to turn the other cheek; when someone resorts to an insult, it says more about them than it does about you. It says they are poor In spirit, THE EXACT kind of person Christ came to save.

Since you refuse to answer basic questions, I think it’s best.

No. The expression refers to the idiom still in use today that an insult is a “slap in the face.” So, Jesus is telling us not to give our power away, to not give into the temptation to be goaded by an insult. A variant of ‘sticks and stones.’ ”Turn the other cheek” is to show your power of self...

And I have pointed out repeatedly that your claim of what Jesus said is false. John 18:36 36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.” Nothing in that...

There is good reasons why lawyers have a worse reputation than prostitutes. It's an entire industry whose purpose is to profit at the worst times in someone's life - by creating "procedures" that make it even worse. Even putting aside the death penalty, lawyers profit when people are put in...

Yea, that’s why there is only one denomination.

Yea, people who God helps tend to be lucky.

Agreed. Everyone has a brand of Christianity. God is a warrior, in the valley and the hand of his Providence was on Trump in missing that head shot. You and @Aunty Jane along with the rest of the world were a witness to it but you don't have eyes to see.

Ouch! Well, I provided Scripture to support my position. You didn't. If that doesn't move you, bless your heart! We agree on the OP question; we should support Israel. @Aunty Jane doesn't agree for reasons she provided ... make a blessed day.

I realize another way different languages are being spoken but using the same words. In the OP, I spoke about how the death penalty serves JUSTICE. You and @Button are talking about a corrupt system in America AS IF it is justice. It's not! And I think comparing the death row "process" of 10-20...

We're doing laps on ground already covered.

aka, the cost of execution. Button has fallen for a semantic argument. Button is comparing the overall cost of the capital punishment procedure vs the overall all cost of the life in prison procedure Thank you for your assistance. Did you read Numbers 15:32-36 32 One day while the people of...

Yes, worldly men who God assisted with their agenda's. God used such men in the Bible also, such as Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus and the polytheist Abraham just to name a few.

Well, it's the principle under discussion. If you don't want to grasp your opponents basic argument, that's one you. I see you skipped over the metaphor of my wife not asking for candy. Willful ignorance of the principle in play?

False. We are a part of this world (like it or not as our existence is not on another planet) AND we are a follower of the "prince" of peace. Ever wonder why he is not the king of peace? A prince is in the waiting. And how will he ultimately bring peace? By the exact sanctioning of wars and...

Yup. You mentioned this several times AS IF it‘s a fault of mine, AS IF I owe you free access to academic studies. Odd sense of entitlement. Feel free to educate yourself without being spoon fed. Do your own research of the cost of a bullet compared to the cost of 50 years of incarceration. Do...

Projection. Cost of a bullet. Cost of 50 years of incarceration. Not even close. This is true no matter how many links you paste.
