This whole string could actually have been about Yadda.

I believe that convicted child molesters ought to be executed, by the state, on behalf of the community.

Lady Lols,

IMO, people like yourself only see inconsistency,        .....in the idea, of a 'loving' God, who would sanction the killing of wrongdoers.

But the only inconsistency, imo,       ....is in the morality [and in the hearts] of man.




Matthew 15:1
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2  Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3  But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4  For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

n.b.
Jesus, rebuked the religious leaders of his time, for not following God's laws.





Exodus 20:12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13  Thou shalt not kill.

Exodus 21:17
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

Is it harsh, to put to death, rebellious children ?

Yes, it is harsh to us.

But that is not man's law, it is God's law.

Never old.

We [in our 'modern', secular state] do not live by those laws.

But, imo, we should.



But, if you are a typical atheist [living in this 'modern', 'civilised' age], you will say God's law laws are wrong/inconsistent/unjust.


WHEREAS;
God's say's that his laws are right, and just,      ....and his word, declares that following his laws, will bring about a stable, peaceful, prosperous society,      .....for the people who implement and follow those laws.



Words that are found, repeated, again, and again, in Deuteronomy [in the bible]....

"So thou shalt put the evil away from among you."

"so shalt thou put the evil away from among you."

"so shalt thou put evil away from among you;"

"so shalt thou put evil away from among you."

"so thou shalt put away evil from among you."

"and thou shalt put evil away from among you."





Deuteronomy 4:5
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
6  Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7  For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
8  And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?






But not Lady Lols.

And not John Smith.

John Smith,

Well thank you, at least,        ....for that concession.
