    adoption?

    Sidnee:hug: this is a tough decision to make and as others have said something that needs some real life support for you to make the decisions you need to make. There is a ministry called mercy ministries that helps women who are pregnant in similar situations to yours. Some choose to...

    Is Harry Potter Evil? (2)

    Nadine, You have mentioned fruit, the word says in Galations 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. To be honest in this thread, there is lack of many of these fruits from many...

    You're right Criada, good call and wise words. I am not looking to be right here just for the record. I just think it is one of those areas in the word that is not as clear as we would like and I honestly find discussions like this, as long as it remains civil, are edifying because it causes...

    Albion, Happy to talk through the other NT scriptures but before that can you answer the other parts I posted in reply please. I am intersted in your interpretation of these. Also, since nations vary in their view on this, in fact no EU country along with many other countries and also...

    Is this true?

    11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin." I disagree, Jesus is talking about the fact that he had submitted to the Fathers will that he be tried for a crime he did not...

    Is this true?

    Not factually true,The official teachings of Judaism approve the death penalty in principle but the standard of proof required for application of death penalty is extremely stringent, and in practice, it has been abolished by various Talmudic decisions, making the situations in which a death...

    Albion, you said This is the part I meant about misquoting as I did not say these things, I believe Belinda did. But hey not a problem, once a thread goes on a few pages unless I reread, I lose who said what to, so no matter. I asked 'Can you provide a moral example from the bible then...

    Is this true?

    Adultery was punishable by death, stoning for the worst cases. It formed part of Jewish law, and allowed under Roman law. The Pharisees and scribes were part of the Sanhedrin and should have taken her to the ecclesaistical court. Jesus was teaching in the temple courts at the time and yes they...

    Is this true?

    Albion, you misquoted me, previous posters mentioned OT examples, I did not. I used the example of the woman because within the law, which the Jews followed and was allowed under Roman Governing at the time. Jesus could have stoned her and enforced the law. The men there were about to stone the...

    Is this true?

    All the examples given so far are OT though. If you read the NT much more is spoken of mercy than judgement. WHen the woman caught in adultery was about to be stoned. Jesus said to carry out the punishment the person should be himself without sin and when no man was left standing Jesus...

    Is this true?

    Albion, point taken. However some of the issues surrounding capital punishment will help people decide whether something is morally wrong or not I believe. So to the OP.Do I believe killing a man who has killed another is morally right? In a nutshell no.

    Is this true?

    The sad thing about jail conversions is that many men and women are 'prison christians' that is they cannot follow it up once they leave prison. This can be for several reasons, sometimes they have no support when they leave and fall away, or in some cases they were not really saved in the first...

    Is this true?

    I agree we should submit to authority unless we are asked to violate a command from God. For example Daniel submitted to the King until he was commanded to worship the king and then he refused. This is right. Example abortion is legal in the UK and America, however I am not forced to have one...
