FG, here is what you keep forgetting:
1. I never said I'd murder commies! That is a lie, and you are slandering my name when you say that I said that.
What did I say in the OP?
I said communism is vile and should be driven from the face of the earth. "COMMUNISM." The thoughts and politics of communism.
There is not even a Hint of me murdering a commie. I said communism. It is a philosophy. That is what needs to be driven from the face of the earth. THANK YOU.
So you're saying you wouldn't kill communists? What would you do then? Imprison them? Torture them? "Reeducate" them? That would mean you'd consider it a thought crime, which is... Erm. Bad.
You have not addressed my pointing out that the first Christians were communists. Nor have you addressed the issue that it's perfectly possible, and many would argue implicit for Christians to adopt a political viewpoint which edges close to communism on several key issues. What are your thoughts on that matter?
2. I never said I'd murder a Drug dealer!!! I said that it would be a Capital Offense to deal drugs and therefore the drug dealer would be executed by the state! This is 100% legal and JUST!!!
What about the people Suomipoika mentioned? What about the ex-dealers and gangsters I have met myself, who have turned their lives to Jesus!? In your world they'd be killed for their mistakes.
You do know that Jesus hung out with what you'd consider scum, right? That He - God made flesh - was the friend of sinners. The pardoner of those who according to law should be killed. Jesus forgave those who were supposed to be killed according to the law of Israel, He gave them love and friendship. Not the equivalent of an electric chair.
So when you slander my name by saying that I am trying to MURDER drug dealers then you are being wicked and evil.
EVERY TIME YOU USE THE WORD "MURDER" when speaking about an act of the State using Capital Punishment you are lying and slandering me.
Oh. Sure. I'm being evil for saying what you do is sickening, evil and vile. After all, all you're wanting to do is KILL them. Not MURDER them because you'd LEGALIZE it first. Wow. I'm sorry I was so WRONG, you're OBVIOUSLY a good and godly man since THAT'S what you want to do.
You know, Hitler didn't have a single jew murdered by your reckoning I don't think. I believe it was legal in his own regime what he did. Doesn't mean it wasn't murder though. There are international laws to consider. Genocide is certainly unlawful.
You are being evil and wicked and are trying to do nothing but harm a man of God.
A man of God? You? If that is so, why are your ideologies antithetical to those of Christ? You are no man of God Shield. I can recognize the fruit of the devil when I see it.
He was killing vile evil wicked men. They deserved to die and he killed them in the name of YHVH. It was a wonderful thing.
It was holy and righteous. It was a good thing! IT WAS A VERY GOOD THING!!!
IT WAS A TOTALLY AWESOME AND GOOD THING!!!
So killing in the name of God is wonderful and glorious? You know who you remind me of? A bunch of devil worshippers I knew in my old hometown. I tried to witness to them, that love is stronger than hate. They had a view pretty close to yours. Kill the wrongdoers. Let their blood be spilled, it'd be a wonderful thing they said. Mind you, these people were devil worshippers, and their stance is remarkably close to yours on this particular issue. Still, I think they would be better leaders than you would, because they were more tolerant. More loving than you are. These were pretty messed up individuals too.
1. You are not Elijah.
2. This is the new covenant we're talking about
3. We're all guilty of sins which make us candidates for capital punishment according to the bible, which is why we need Christ!
And point three... This is where you're so wrong. You're spitting on Christ's sacrifice. Spitting on His teachings of mercy and love. And you cloud it in high talk of justice and law. Don't you know that you are just as worthy of the death penalty as the worst murderer and rapist out there? Don't you know that you are just as dependent on His mercy as anyone else? You do not act like it. You're boastful, hateful, proud and impatient.
