[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 70881361, member: 167101"] Crystal, as FireDragon already stated in a previous post, the essence of your hypothetical scenario is a misapplication of the Euthyphro argument, one that emerges out of a context of Grecian theological/philosophical sensibilities (that of Plato, maybe Socrates). God is the same, which is why He can and will [U][B]STILL[/B][/U] punish the world, but by way of using His enemies against other of His enemies. The Church won't be called on directly to Crusade or implement Inquisitions. Christians are not Muslim Jihadists and never will be. Only those who are confused as to what Christian faith is, or have no use for Christian faith, [B]will be confused on this point[/B]. God is the same; so is Jesus. If Christians are to resort to some level of violence, it will only be for civic purposes, say...while employed as police officers or military personnel, or other legally authorized agents of order in an otherwise SECULAR society.
