I realize that there are a lot of softhearted Christians,and then there are so-called liberal Christians. Who think it is not loving and forgiving to execute murderers,rapists and other lowlifes.
However I firmly believe God sanctioned such a law for the protection of society and moral fiber.
The world has gotten as evil as it is,because weak hearts cannot carry out justice.
 
Well, alot of people in the US who are backed monetarily by George Soros's and his retinue arent soft hearted. The want the chaos created by these policies to promote chaos and rebellion that the govt can legit clamp down on the public "in the interest" of public safety. And so take away more rights from a people that typically promotes more freedom. There is few coincidences in what the liberals do. Too think them short sighted or dumb is actually in error. They know exactly what they are doing, but dont want the general public to know.

Sorry to kind of laugh at you, but are you sure you know what a liberal is? You do, the usage of the word has just changed since Henry Clinton conceded the Siege of Yorktown :eek:. People hate liberals, all liberals are process minded attorneys. Liberals run around in suits and ties saying things like "alleged! alleged!" and are most notably in the doghouse for insisting on constitutional law instead of clubby in group social old boys' rules playbooks like us George Bush republicans use. :innocent: Constitutional sprites are liberals. It actually got so bad for a while, that people used to call the State of Massachusetts "Prosettussetts" after all the long slow litigation it was famous for.
 
Weighing liberalism and Christianity in the balance is a delicate matter. Jesus Christ wasn't an attorney at law, and Paul was. Paul had been a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin Council, which is the "Israeli Supreme Court", in the same way that the Council of Elders (Dreidel Council) is the aristocracy of Monarchial Israel, or at other times in Israel's history when Israel is without a genealogical King, similar to the Senate, but strictly hereditary. The Israelite government is more interesting than you think it is, you should really check into becoming a liberal sometime.

If you're really a Christian in Holy Orders, as defined by United States Constitutional codes, including military law, one thing you have to be willing to do is practice Christian faith in the manner of Christ, meaning that you are in a religious order. The professions of clergy members are not strictly limited to theology graduates with congregations, this seldom comes up except in the draft, but a medical doctor or a teacher of most anything (engineering, say, or even fine art) might sue the draft board to be released from combat duty because he already has an expensive education in a realm that is complete and useful to the state, which in and of itself doesn't require him to be an athletic fencer or shooter. Farmers can be exempted from the draft, it's nothing to do with accountants and bankers or property law, it's something to do with the fact that the country including the Army needs what farms produce to survive.

If you accept noncombatant status, you still have to be willing to die for your faith. Jesus was murdered by the usurper King Herod Agrippa, he had been baptized and was the Messiah, commonly called a rabbi and considered a Jewish teacher. Well, actually, it's less that He was a teacher than that He was a priest. That He was a priest is legally and religiously viewed as being demonstrated by the fact that He performed miracles.

You can be a Christian all day every day for the rest of your life and just put up with the government, see if I care. :cool::cool::cool: There's also the profession of the law.

Jesus is God in the flesh and His word is the bible and Jesus has perfect knowledge of man He created. Paul didn't know the bible until Jesus explained it to him by revelation. Nothing, absolutely nothing, was created without Jesus.

John 1:1-3 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Ephesians 3:9- and to make all see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

You are not a Christian unless you a born again from above and filled with Holy Spirit.

Liberal religion picks out the verses they want to "tickle the ears" of those they talk to. Liberals will not tolerate the real Jesus's wrath in the day of the Lord. Which will be soon.

Yeah, you're a Zionist Zealot. Hey, I've met lots of Jews. Paul was a legal attorney in the court of Caiaphas the High Priest, who served King Herod Agrippa. He knew all of the rabbinical law, all of the torah and all of the Talmud, his problems had nothing to do with his legal education or understanding, they were purely governmental, political and sociological.

I have no idea what a Zionist Zealot is. I just read the bible the way its written.

Zionists accepted Jesus Christ's statement that He was the Messiah at first, hoping for a military leader. They fell away when He turned out to be a religious instead of a political, civil, or military leader.

I hate to say it, but in modern parlance I see them as being kind of like Confederates. That's probably only because I live very close to the State of Illinois, which has a city called "Zion" in it.

Capital punishment for murder is mandatory.

Gen 9:5 . . But for your own life-blood I will require a reckoning: I will require it of
every beast; of man, too, will I require a reckoning for human life, of every man for
that of his fellow man!

This law is universal regardless of one's age, race, gender and/or religious
preference. It applies to every family of Man and Beast that descends from the ark;
no exceptions: and we can't lay this responsibility off on God because He requires it
to be enforced by Man rather than Himself.

Gen 9:6a . .Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed;

God requires an investigation into the death of a human being whenever it is
caused by another human being or by a member of the animal kingdom. If the
killing cannot be justified, the perpetrator has to be executed at the hands of
human beings: no exceptions.

The death penalty here in Gen 9:6 is mandatory only for murder; which Webster's
defines as: the crime of unlawfully killing a person; especially with malice
aforethought. The key word in that definition is "unlawfully"

Capital punishment for murder isn't optional. The word "shall" indicates an edict: it
is mistaken for someone to think they're in step with God while actively opposing
the death penalty.

Gen 9:6b . . For in His image did God make man.

So then; indiscriminate killing wasn't banned because it's immoral, but rather,
because it demeans the honor and dignity of God. Apparently, were humanity
lacking His image, people could go on safari and stalk each other like game animals
and mount human heads as trophies of the hunt.

The image of God lends humanity a measure of respect that it wouldn't have
otherwise.

"You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and
honor and put everything under his feet." (Heb 2:7-8)

Without that measure of respect, humanity would just be another in the long list of
expendable species.

Refusal to pursue the death penalty for murder denigrates the sanctity of Almighty
God. So we should never condone insistence that capital punishment for murder is
wrong. No; capital punishment for murder isn't wrong; au contraire, capital
punishment for murder is divine.

FAQ: Don't you think it's better to lock all murderers away for life rather than risk

taking the lives of those who are innocent?

REPLY: It is never better to disobey God. The first couple did, and you see what

that got them.

Resistance is on a scale with dark arts and the worship of Shiva and Vishnu.

"Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the
voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat
of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and insubordination is as iniquity
and idolatry. (1Sam 15:22-23)

In war, commanders expect a percentage of casualties by human error and/or
friendly fire; and those kinds of casualties are usually factored in as acceptable
losses. But it isn't wise to turn off a war off just because somebody might get hurt
by friendly fire. Accidents happen; even under ideal conditions.

It's the same with the war on crime. Just because a percentage of innocent people
get executed for something they didn't do, is no excuse to get in bed with the Devil
and oppose God's edicts.

America's justice system, although far from perfect, has a pretty good batting
average. The overwhelming majority of people dead from executions fully deserved
what they got. Only a tiny percentage are victims of error; and those percentages
should always be considered acceptable losses in any legitimate endeavor to
protect domestic tranquility.

Republican check, good answer debater one! :innocent::innocent::innocent:

Now let's go over Exodus 2:11&12 and see if you're a Lincolnite or not.

"And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand."

Not to be rude or anything dude, and I'm actually extremely internet literate, I know a ton about social safety rules and not giving out personal information online...but can you try to expostulate, you know, argue rhetorically and actually express an opinion, instead of imitating, you know, Cortana? This is not intended as an ad hominm attack in debate, it's just that I can also look up Bible verses and make Luther-like strings for an argument too.

Tell me what you THINK. Say something about the morals of Moses.

Dear Brother,
Good pick as a rebuttal, or are you just showing an alternative? :)

Remember what our Brother in Christ posted, that God gave the law, but it is humanity that should be carrying it out. What do you think the Egyptians would have done to Moses if they had caught him? In fact, his fellow Jews in a way told on him, so that the story got to Pharaoh so that he tried that very thing!!! (Exodus 2:11-15) Oh, I do believe the death penalty would have been the order of the day if he had been caught!!! Let's just say that Moses wasn't the only one to get away with Murder. I guess one could also look at David as getting away with Murder as well!!! How about Paul? At least he considered himself a murderer, even though by the law of the day he was authorized to do what he did. This latter case would probably drift this conversation astray if we were to considera Nation's responsibility for ensuring justice being administered, but correctly.

Too often humanity is of the mind that "Justice delayed is Justice denied". Meaning that somehow justice for a wrong must be immediate or it is worthless, and all too often when set against Scripture/believers that it must somehow be done by God which would then allow for punishment to be as immediate as it can be.

I am curious if any Believer thinks that they can get away with murder and have no consequences for their willful actions? I hope not. I'm sure you do not either. :)

But if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favorites. Colossians 3:25 NLT

The following verses make for an interesting read in light of the subject of this thread.

Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God's judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to us. For we know the one who said, "I will take revenge. I will pay them back." He also said, "The LORD will judge his own people." It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:26-31 NLT

Cute, but you basically ignored the question. That's fine, I was only checking to see where you stood on the continuum between Christian and Jew. Moses was the first leader of Israel. His "wizard's duel" against Pharoh and the priests of Midian illustrates "an Egyptian court". I don't even know what country you live in, English speakers might be from the United States or Britian, both of which practice the legal death penalty. I was moving into the differences between an Egyptian court case, which uses magic and whatever else goes along with that, and the Israelite government.

Having said that, if no one here knows anything, I can always just contact the Israeli embassy and talk to them.

Dear Brother,
I'm not sure with everything going on over in Israel that the embassy would take the time to answer all your questions.
However, mention Lincolnite and I'm sure they'd move you to the head of the line. ;)

All you need to know about Moses is that he was a sinner, just like the rest of us.
Took a lot of tempering to get him to be the leader God wanted him to be and who the Nation of Israel needed. I guess you can say most of the time that morally he did it God's way (Sung to the tune of Frank Sinatra's My Way). If you don't know the tune Siri or Cortana should be of help.

As far as your question...on Cortana, I'd use it or Siri depending on my mood....oh, sorry, I do believe the Brother in Christ pretty much covered it. :) However, if you had actually moved in the direction of asking about the differences between "an Egyptian court etc..." instead of waiting to surprise him with it later, you might have actually received a different reply from me...or none at all. lol

I know how to speak to a diplomat, tweetly. The word diplomat is related to the word "diploma", you might have one of your own. Ever heard of the Department of Education? I can have your church school audited and examined for accreditation.

Yeah, so are most people. Good song, I love the piece "If You Want to Play in Texas". Still, you follow the law of the United States, which required you to spend 12 years in public school and graduate with a diploma. You have one, you didn't play truant.

Dear Brother,
Don't know that law existed now, but I guess back in my early years it did not. Never graduated and never finished the 11th grade. lol
Glad you were able to grab that diploma and probably others as well! God works in mysterious and wonderous ways with all of us in all circumstances we might find ourselves in if we care to receive His grace. :)

Eleventh grade? Why eleventh grade? When I was a kid, they made you show up and be physically present in class until you were 18. It was a matter of age. I guess that from a strictly legal standpoint, the states just had to let people go after the age of majority, it sounds harder to get anything done without the endorsed paperwork, but having said that, there have been scandals around common core academics and a few athletic scandals too.

It doesn't matter in this page, does it? I know I went through state public schools, they didn't teach "Bible" or pray in class by the time I got to secondary classes anyway.

Dear Brother,
lol - I was not a good child. I ran the streets of New York when young. Not going to school, was one of the reasons I got put away in a Catholic Boys Home for 2 years after spending 6 months in detention. It was so bad they eventually closed the detention facility a few years later. All this happened due to the faithfulness of my mother, who I am forever grateful for having loved me enough to do so! :)

It makes for a funny story now, as far as I'm concerned, in which I went from a Catholic Boys Home upstate NY, to spending 1 day or I should say about 15 minutes in the 11th grade to eventually the military for 20 years! lol

Anyway, man's education verses Lifes "road of hard knocks" so to speak, which I believe God moves in regardless of what man attempts to do by separating us from as we see in the US now a days, happens all the time. It's just not something you read in the news. :( Had more to do with Him finding me anyway, verses me seeking Him out. \o/

Whether it matters to the subject at hand on this page or not, is for each to decide, but for me what colors a person's life in their experiences, surely can determine how one reacts and maybe even perceives the Word of God, and applies it to life's reality...that is if they're not listening...

With the Love of God, Christ Jesus.

Oh, you went to that school, I understand, actually I used to work in a library, and I know most book learning isn't worth the paper it's printed on or that at most it won't get you too many Treasury Notes. The only time I'd have missed about eleventh grade if I don't have it is the Trigonometry, which I finally got memorized, although I guess it took me a few years more than just that introductory lesson. I had a lot of those hyper modern Common Core teachers with variable answers too, actually, especially in later math. They were kind of a waste of time, but so are people who think that the same answer applies to different questions, they can be just as stupid as people who think that the same question has different answers, now that I see things with hindsight and experience.
