If they repent, you forgive them, then stone them.

There is evidence of the people who threw the rocks being forgiven.
Sounds like a plan!

Ever notice there are no Atheist Home for Orphans? When was the last time you went to the ER at The Good Atheist Hospital?
Nobody ever says, "Hey let's go down to the Secular Humanist Food Pantry!"

Not really....but I have noticed a Tele-Preacher a few miles from here......has his own airport! All concrete......worth millions. Huge hangars........fly's his private jet(s) in and out. Ever notice that?

Tell us more. Lot's of "church's" around here are palaces......preachers live very nicely....

They’re easy to pick out aren’t they? Definitely don’t go to those churches.

What's your point?

Stoning?

The Spirit moves me and prompts me to say I think not.

The way it has been illuminated to me is that IMO Jesus exposed the worldliness, unrighteousness, and the spiritual pride that the practice of stoning and condemnation for what it was.

IMO this teaching can probably be extrapolated to capital punishment of any kind.

My Father in law and Mother in Law are C of C. Some of the weirdest folks you'll ever meet. FIL is basically a far, far left wing commie. Democrat. Which makes the MIL so. .....

Interesting.
Most C of C Elders are right wing conservatives.

Ask the Spirit to help you recognize when someone is being sarcastic. It will help you look less foolish.

I believe in capital punishment, especially for murderers.

This will never be, but it would slow down the murder rate.....
Depending on how the murder was committed, fast and painless, death the same way.
If the victim was tortured and or suffered, the murderer get's to feel/ go through that before he dies.

My Father in law and Mother in Law are C of C. Some of the weirdest folks you'll ever meet. FIL is basically a far, far left wing commie. Democrat. Which makes the MIL so. They estranged all of their kids for the Church. If you didn't tow the C of C line....you were cast out. The Church was all they have/had at least 3 days a week. Their way or the highway. That means anyone....grandkids and all. Been this way for my 34 years of marriage. FIL is an Elder. I heard the stories of ministers coming and going.......

I only went a handful of times.....thank goodness. Wife hated it. I didn't force my child to endure that crap.

That would be unusual because most in the C of C are pretty conservative and if not they usually leave. But then again there are now Church of Christ affiliated universities that have gay pride days. Something that used to never be heard of.

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/04/another-trans-mass-murderer-stopped.php

The “trans community” has been a fertile source of actual and would-be mass murderers. That shouldn’t be surprising, I suppose, since we are talking about mental illness. Another one was stopped in Colorado today. Robert Spencer asks a good question:

William Whitworth, a 19-year-old male who claims to be female and goes by the name “Lilly,” has been arrested in Colorado Springs, Colo., after threatening various local schools. Whitworth has been charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, as well as criminal mischief, menacing, and more. His case, following so soon after Audrey Hale, a woman claiming to be male, murdered six people at a Christian school in Nashville, once again raises the question: wouldn’t we be better off treating this “transgender” business as mental illness rather than coddling and celebrating people who suffer from these delusions?

'Cringeworthy … privileged … obnoxious': Trans views of Dylan Mulvaney

It's not just conservatives who get irked by TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Everyday trans people find her just as grating, and some doubt she's the real deal, a survey of trans online chat forums reveals.

www.dailymail.co.uk

• TikTok's transgender icon has no shortage of detractors on the political right
• But many members of her own transgender community also find her grating
• They frequently debate whether Mulvaney is as a genuine trans person

Caitlyn Jenner Calls Nike's Dylan Mulvaney Partnership 'An Outrage'

Caitlyn Jenner is furious with Nike over its endorsement deal with Dylan Mulvaney ... saying the sneaker giant is going "so woke" by throwing money at the trans influencer, but not Allyson Felix.

Probably just jealous that she didn't get Nike sponsorship.

I believe in capital punishment, especially for murderers.

I certainly can understand.

For a long time I very much believed in capital punishment, no question. I was a vocal supporter and believer in it.

Then one day, for no reason apparent to me, I just didn’t believe in it any longer.

Been that way for me ever since.

I can understand changing how you think, I’ve changed on some issues too as I got older.

Direct, literal, Holy Spirit speaking to you intervention.
If it's opposite of what the Bible (Holy Spirit written) teaches, count on it.

Perhaps.

You feel free to continue recognizing the Bible as your Holy Spirit.

If it works for you then I certainly support you.

I enjoy a relationship with God that is more than just the Bible. IMO the Bible is great but it doesn’t compare to the living God.

Do you believe you have a spirit?

Peace be with you my friend.

 

[BrownFlush]

Perhaps.

No perhaps about it. If the Bible teaches it, for some reason ,the Holy Spirit told you the opposite.

You feel free to continue recognizing the Bible as your Holy Spirit.

Wrong. The Bible is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible through inspired men.

Relationships require at least two. You have defined what kind of relationship you have with God. It's all how you have decided it should be. You have a relationship with him alright. It's not good according to scripture.
The right/approved/and acceptable relationship with God is the one taught in Scripture. You're not even close.

Do you believe you have a spirit?

I know I have a spirit.

 

[Integrity]

At times.

Wrong. The Bible is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible through inspired men.

It seems you place the Bible above or equivalent to God himself. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible? Do you believe in the dictation theory ?

Thankfully my relationship with God is above scripture.

The right/approved/and acceptable relationship with God is the one taught in Scripture. You're not even close.

That is your opinion. I disagree.

I know I have a spirit.

Am I right to assume that the reason you believe you know this is because the Bible taught you this?
