A. Leave them the F alone and mind ur business because in this country we can worship whoever we want any religion and do whatever we want religion wise or B.

@@franciscorojas8294 Silly anti-theist, Christians don't consider themselves victims, Christians have already received justification through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is commanded that we tell everyone about the free gift of salvation through faith in God. In doing so, we must tell people about how God told us to live. You know easy things like don't steal, don't murd3r, don't hurt others, that kinda thing. You have it all wrong because you hate God and you are convicted by what you know is true.
The Word, the preexistent Jesus Christ, who WAS with God, and who WAS God, in one invisible Spirit upon the waters of earth (Gen 1:2), created the visible, material world from the invisible. Hebrews 11:3 KJV Through faith we understand that *_the worlds were framed by the word of God,_* so that *_things which are seen were not made of things which do appear._*

I love speaking the truth about all things but boy O boy do people really hate you for it or get really uncomfortable around you. I speak up in chatrooms about evil abortions and the harm done to children and I get kicked out of the chat room. If I am around other people all I want to talk about is the Bible or Israel and they tell me to change the subject but I can't. So many people just want all the warm and fuzzy stuff. 🤮 Ever since God pulled me out of mormonism 3 years ago and showed me the truth of the Bible, its all I want now. Nothing else matters other than my day to day living. I cant wait to fly home now and be with the RIGHT Jesus Christ and not the one that was shoved down my throat by mormonism.
just remember the bible says share the truth in love and do it with gentleness and respect yes share the truth but theres a polite way and a rude way and appropriate time and and unappropriate time, be prayerful and descerning when sharing Christ and dont throw your pearl to the swine but keep sharing because just mentioning the name Jesus will be highly offensive to some, this from one who has shared Christ on the college campus going on 36 years straight , God bless
I think that people might be mistaking "the good works that follow those who believe" with the do-gooders who seek salvation through their works. Don't mix those up. There is plenty of good works coming for you to do. And don't worry. God is pleased simply by you having a relationship with. After all, it pleased the Lord to bruise Christ so that we could have that relationship with Him restored. We are the apple of His eye. Behold how good and how pleasant (pleasing) it is when brethren dwell in unity for there is a blessing, even life forever more. Maybe we should think about being a bit more pleasing amongst the brethren and sistern, instead of arguing semantics about people pleasing. And happily, when He looks at me He sees not what I used to be, but He sees Jesus.
John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

12:55 but didn’t the sojourners have to abide by the Israeli civil law if they lived in Israel? In regard to the civil law only being for the Old Testament Israelites
I hope you see this. I don't know if this is a good way to explain it. God being outside time and can know everything but humans still having free will. Is like doctor strange with the time stone God can see all possible timelines instantaneously and know everything at once. I am thinking of it like this as a finite way of thinking about the infinite and you would have to be outside of time to see the timelines and all knowing and all seeing to understand them all at the same time? I hope that makes sense.
Thanks brother. This is why the body of Christ Jesus our LORD and SAVIOR, need to pray the LORDS PRAYER over the body of Christ, daily. We should pray more than we speak, pray more than we play. Pray for each other not just ourselves. We should pray saying "if it is the will of the LORD GOD I pray..." some things are obviously his will like the prayers of the LORD, the prophets and apostles. We can assume anything we want is what GOD wants for us, and we can lose faith because we're not praying according to the will of the Holy One of Israel. The way I pray for elections is simple, LORD draw many to you in repentance and have your will be done in our elections our country and people and cause us to stand with Israel as the world turns on them in hate and confusion. Strengthen your people to be lights as the days grow darker.
Good video, but I do disagree. I think loving one's enemies is more important than worrying about whether we are being persecuted or not. Think about this: you should be willing to speak truth even if you are persecuted, AND you should be willing to speak truth even if you are NOT persecuted.
“Ye (spiritual) adulterers, and adulteresses, Know ye NOT that ‘the Friendship of the World’ is ‘Enmity’ with GOD ???

Funny...you bash "prosperity" gospel right after mentioning verses where it says your rewarded by God for being a follower, blessed when man revives you for being a follower. While some are bad news, so are some legalistic reform pastors. Some are simply saying God rewards those who are His and are obedient and live a life that honors Him.
You were doing great until you got to the "God must be outside of time." Duration and sequence are a quality of existence. Since God has always existed and is LIVING, duration and sequence are a necessity. How time is measured by matter in motion had a beginning, but not duration. God's now is now, everywhere.
You should call it out, PROVIDED you actually understand and get the persons position 100 percent correct before doing so. If you call someone out, but failed to get their position correct, and/or fail to confirm with them what they really believe, you are more in the wrong than that person was to begin with.
How about calling out those who lie about other Christians like Doreen Virtue has done in her recently posted videos regarding Dr. Michael Heiser. She has put out literal character assassination videos on him.
Quiero reformar las prisiones y hospitales mentales para ayudarles a escapar. ¿Quieres vivir el resto de tu vida encerrado o quieres ser libre? El pasado es historia y no se puede cambiar. Ayer fue diferente. Hoy es diferente. Todo cambia. Para escapar tienes que entender Dios existe porque lógicamente es imposible la existencia de la creación o finitud sin el creador o infinitud. ¿Puede ser toda la realidad creada? ¿Por qué? Si contestas correctamente entiendes. Dios es eterno o no creado. Si entiendes ya eres diferente a como eras. Ahora ya sabes que Dios existe. Ahora ya sabes algo más. Ahora ya eres diferente porque entiendes más. Si tu supieses que Dios existe no dirías que crees en Dios, porque es mentira y Dios existe. Dios es realidad inteligente que decidió crear el universo después de haber existido siempre. No estoy pidiendo que me creas sino que pienses rápido para entender la realidad por ti mismo. La realidad no es lo que parece. La Segunda Guerra Mundial y el Holocausto nazi pasó después de que Spinoza descubriese la naturaleza de Dios hace siglos. Es el mayor escándalo de la historia, o uno de los mayores escándalos de la historia de la humanidad. Tenemos una vida y es para siempre. La verdad es el ateísmo es una falacia lógica que asume Dios es la idea religiosa del creador de la creación y concluye erróneamente el creador no existe porque una idea particular de Dios no existe. La verdad es el ateísmo y la religión son malentendidos de la realidad dañinos a Dios. Si piensas en lo que te he dicho te sentirás increíblemente mejor. Dios es la eternidad que asusta. Dios es mortal y todo lo que hacemos lo hacemos a mortalidad. Todo lo que hacemos y decimos y pensamos durante nuestra vida importa, y será para siempre parte de lo que pasó. ¿Cómo sabes si Spinoza no tiene razón si nunca has leído Spinoza? ¿Por qué no das a Spinoza una oportunidad? ¿Por qué no escuchas lo que Spinoza quiso o le dejaron decirte? El tiempo se acaba y es eterno y no se cuando voy a morir. ¿Es el ateísmo una falacia lógica y Dios existe? Todo cambia con la verdad. Si Dios existe la eternidad está garantizada. Dios es para todos igual, el infierno eterno es para las malas personas y el cielo eterno para las buenas. ¿Qué nota te pones a ti mismo en el examen de la vida? ¿Que tal lo hicistes y estás haciendo? Se examina toda tu vida desde el momento en el que decidistes. ¿Eres buena persona o mala, o buena y mala? Para todos es el cielo y también el infierno. Lo que has hecho de bueno para siempre estará contigo, y también lo que has hecho malo. La vida es un examen y la muerte es el resultado. ¿Has aprovado o has suspendido? Morir es encontrar a Dios, que lo es todo, y la historia continúa con los que quedaron vivos. Te estoy explicando como entiendo yo la realidad. Un mundo, un pais sin extranjeros, una humanidad, una ley. La unión hace la fuerza. La realidad es la unión hace la fuerza. La verdad es la unión hace la fuerza. El idioma y el territorio no importan. Por salvar mi vida y la tuya puedo aprender tu idioma y todos vivimos la misma realidad en el universo. Se habla en el idioma que se quiera y se traduce para que no haya malentendidos. No se tiene que hablar en inglés porque el inglés sea el idioma más hablado, se habla para todos. Se habla para que todos entiendan. ¿Qué sentido tiene debatir si Dios existe o no cuando ya se descubrió y se censuró y de nuevo se redescubre y se recensura? ¿Cuantos pensadores racionales tienen que redescubrir Dios existe antes de que la humanidad escuche? No tienes que creer en Dios porque a Dios se llega mediante la razón y los sentidos. Spinoza entendió Dios existe, yo entiendo Dios existe y tú puedes entender. Con la idea de Dios no se juega y la humanidad ha inventado dioses sin saber Dios realmente existe. La humanidad se equivocó. ¿Es posible estar equivocado inventándose dioses horribles? ¿Por qué vives de rodillas? ¿Por qué haces que tus hijos inocentes y vulnerables vivan de rodillas? El ateísmo y la religión te están costando tu salud mental y economía. Gracias.
Well, I hope the lack of evidence for this and some of the other issues doesn't keep you up at night pondering, genius. Sleep deprivation can become a serious issue and cause one to go loco. Take Huntsy for example, unfortunate fella, rather than sleeping peacefully and counting sheep, he's yammering on about escaped goats...
Me neither Kinggenius. But I do know a simple cure for “unbelievers”…a god actually showing up. A simple hello. But that appears too difficult for an “existing” god, so non existence seems more likely.
You are not good enough for evidence. It’s pretty simple really. Jesus Christ is Holy and He has rules. Try giving up your sins if you really want Him by your side. Or do as you wish like satan does.
I'm curious, should we as Christians fight for the rights of those on death row as much as for the unborn? Murder is murder but i dont see the same level of advocacy when it comes to the death penalty which i find ironic as the same politicians are vehemently against abortion are all for death penalty. It may seem obvious why but as i said earlier, murder is murder and seems like there should be no exceptions to this. Hot take maybe but something ive thought about for a while now
You fight for the rights of those on death row if you truly know they were unjustly persecuted and imprisoned. Otherwise their fate falls to Levitical law, which Jesus did not overturn. Keep in mind there is a difference between murder and killing, and the Bible shows that difference innumerable times.
God instituted the death penalty Himself at Genesis 9 : 5 - 6. In the new covenant, God said He gave the government the sword of wrath to wield against criminals (Romans 13), that would include the death penalty. So comparing the death penalty to abortion is apples & oranges.
@@schlauchmeister234 Yes, the death penalty was instituted by God for His nation Israel or what would be Israel and then more in depth through the Law. But that was for a theocracy. Concerning Romans 13 this can sure be interpreted as justification for capital punishment but if you look at Jesus and His example in John with the woman caught in adultery, the picture changes a bit here. We are to show compassion and grace to those who have offended us or other, just as we've been shown. In light of this, the "sword" Paul may be talking about is simply governments authority to police and keep the peace. If you want to take that passage as literal, what would you say about evil governments in history, or in the present such as North Korea or Nazi Germany? They clearly were wrong in instituting death penalty for any of their opponents. I'm not trying to be combative or antagonizing, I just want an honest discussion about these matters
@@aorg9793 that was a theocracy. If levitical law still applies, then why aren't adulterers and others stoned under penalty of the Law? Jesus came to show us a different way, by showing compassion and Grace, take the story in John of the woman accused of adulterery
@@jblopez19d "Yes, the death penalty was instituted by God for His nation Israel or what would be Israel" - No, this was given to Noah, before there was any Israel, and Noah's sons included what would become ALL nations, not just Israel. Right off the start your premise is wrong. "But that was for a theocracy. Concerning Romans 13 this can sure be interpreted as justification for capital punishment" - Yes it can, and once again, there's nothing in this section limiting it to Israel. "if you look at Jesus and His example in John with the woman caught in adultery, the picture changes a bit here" - No, nothing changed. It would have been ILLEGAL to stone the woman. Note that the Mosaic law instructed that BOTH the man & woman be stoned. She was caught "in the act", but they brought only her, not the man. This was a trap to trick Jesus. The text directly says this. "In light of this, the "sword" Paul may be talking about is simply governments authority to police and keep the peace." - To claim that something called "the sword of wrath" doesn't include the death penalty is really naive. "what would you say about evil governments in history, or in the present such as North Korea or Nazi Germany?" - Those governments ABUSED their power. That doesn't invalidate all authority that God has given to governments.

Better to be corrected than continuing to teach poor doctrine. Christians need good pastors, so we can become good deciples.
@gi169 amen brother , facts🙏 🙌
1 John 2:4-5
He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
....but they aren't facts tho.
You run like a coward from showing they are facts..

Then he will convert to Christianity.

Hi, Mr. Frank, do you do live podcast to answer questions? Thank you ❤ big fan here 🥰🥰🥰
If youre not offending unbelievers, youre not doing Christianity right. God's word is offensive and the world is uncomfortable when we bring the light around their darkness and don't join in with their corrupt speech and wicked ways.
Misery loves company and so do sinners. The last thing they'll want is someone bringing the Holy Spirit around and ruining their good time rolling around in the mud. Rejoice for being excluded because it means even they know you don't belong with them.
Yep, we see that here in the comments.
@gi169 Ever notice how they only go after the boldest and most Biblically sound channels and Pastors? They completely ignore Joel Osteen and Benny Hinn because they know they're as phony as we do. Nothing sets them off like the truth of God's word.

Yes, Satan hates the truth and will work overtime on what it considers closest to God. I don't even think the demonic trolls realize that they are being played by their master.
How can Christian’s call themselves the victims when they go out of their way to persecute other religions or simply two grown adults loving each other I mean gay fyi I have a question which I already know ur answer because their is not hate like Christian love you see a Muslim in the park a lot of Muslims enjoying time with the family and they are talking about their God they have the quaran do you ?
A. Leave them the F alone and mind ur business because in this country we can worship whoever we want any religion and do whatever we want religion wise or
B. Go over their start forcing your religion unto them even tho they never asked for it aren’t interested in it or hearing about Jesus but you do it anyway because supposedly I’m doing air quotes here you love them or so you say to justify yourself
@@franciscorojas8294
Silly anti-theist, Christians don't consider themselves victims, Christians have already received justification through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is commanded that we tell everyone about the free gift of salvation through faith in God. In doing so, we must tell people about how God told us to live. You know easy things like don't steal, don't murd3r, don't hurt others, that kinda thing. You have it all wrong because you hate God and you are convicted by what you know is true.
The Word, the preexistent Jesus Christ, who WAS with God, and who WAS God, in one invisible Spirit upon the waters of earth (Gen 1:2), created the visible, material world from the invisible.
Hebrews 11:3 KJV
Through faith we understand that *_the worlds were framed by the word of God,_* so that *_things which are seen were not made of things which do appear._*
I totally agree with Bill Dembski. Fact is what you quoted what he said is so Biblically correct, it kind of makes it a nigh impossibility to argue against him. Well, I guess you could, but then, that could be like rebelling against God kind of a thingy.

Colossians 3:-6
I love speaking the truth about all things but boy O boy do people really hate you for it or get really uncomfortable around you. I speak up in chatrooms about evil abortions and the harm done to children and I get kicked out of the chat room. If I am around other people all I want to talk about is the Bible or Israel and they tell me to change the subject but I can't. So many people just want all the warm and fuzzy stuff. 🤮 Ever since God pulled me out of mormonism 3 years ago and showed me the truth of the Bible, its all I want now. Nothing else matters other than my day to day living. I cant wait to fly home now and be with the RIGHT Jesus Christ and not the one that was shoved down my throat by mormonism.
Amen, God bless.
just remember the bible says share the truth in love and do it with gentleness and respect yes share the truth but theres a polite way and a rude way and appropriate time and and unappropriate time, be prayerful and descerning when sharing Christ and dont throw your pearl to the swine but keep sharing because just mentioning the name Jesus will be highly offensive to some, this from one who has shared Christ on the college campus going on 36 years straight , God bless
I think that people might be mistaking "the good works that follow those who believe" with the do-gooders who seek salvation through their works. Don't mix those up. There is plenty of good works coming for you to do. And don't worry. God is pleased simply by you having a relationship with. After all, it pleased the Lord to bruise Christ so that we could have that relationship with Him restored. We are the apple of His eye. Behold how good and how pleasant (pleasing) it is when brethren dwell in unity for there is a blessing, even life forever more. Maybe we should think about being a bit more pleasing amongst the brethren and sistern, instead of arguing semantics about people pleasing. And happily, when He looks at me He sees not what I used to be, but He sees Jesus.
John 14:12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

It's hard to believe that people were lazy during biblical time
Right?? How could they be? An era of absolutely no technology. Nothing but sleeping, eating and resting to do inside. They literally had nothing but working, having fellowship or hosting a get together to do. I mean, how could they be lazy? 😂
12:55 but didn’t the sojourners have to abide by the Israeli civil law if they lived in Israel? In regard to the civil law only being for the Old Testament Israelites
You said God created government in Genesis 9. . . How did you come to that conclusion?
I hope you see this. I don't know if this is a good way to explain it. God being outside time and can know everything but humans still having free will. Is like doctor strange with the time stone God can see all possible timelines instantaneously and know everything at once. I am thinking of it like this as a finite way of thinking about the infinite and you would have to be outside of time to see the timelines and all knowing and all seeing to understand them all at the same time? I hope that makes sense.
Oops, Colossians 4:3-6
Welfare to Work (Welfare Reform) just googled it. Clinton signed it on Aug 22, 1996. Obama is the one who stopped it.
Why did you skip Genesis 2 where God instituted the Sabbath, the seventh day which He blessed and sanctified?
Thanks brother. This is why the body of Christ Jesus our LORD and SAVIOR, need to pray the LORDS PRAYER over the body of Christ, daily. We should pray more than we speak, pray more than we play. Pray for each other not just ourselves. We should pray saying "if it is the will of the LORD GOD I pray..." some things are obviously his will like the prayers of the LORD, the prophets and apostles. We can assume anything we want is what GOD wants for us, and we can lose faith because we're not praying according to the will of the Holy One of Israel. The way I pray for elections is simple, LORD draw many to you in repentance and have your will be done in our elections our country and people and cause us to stand with Israel as the world turns on them in hate and confusion. Strengthen your people to be lights as the days grow darker.

Good video, but I do disagree. I think loving one's enemies is more important than worrying about whether we are being persecuted or not.
Think about this: you should be willing to speak truth even if you are persecuted, AND you should be willing to speak truth even if you are NOT persecuted.

Funny...you bash "prosperity" gospel right after mentioning verses where it says your rewarded by God for being a follower, blessed when man revives you for being a follower. While some are bad news, so are some legalistic reform pastors. Some are simply saying God rewards those who are His and are obedient and live a life that honors Him.
That does not mean you are rewarded with goodies, and flashy expensive things in life. That's what prosperity gospel teaches

You were doing great until you got to the "God must be outside of time." Duration and sequence are a quality of existence. Since God has always existed and is LIVING, duration and sequence are a necessity. How time is measured by matter in motion had a beginning, but not duration. God's now is now, everywhere.
Hmm. This is a very interesting way of describing this.......
You should call it out, PROVIDED you actually understand and get the persons position 100 percent correct before doing so.
If you call someone out, but failed to get their position correct, and/or fail to confirm with them what they really believe, you are more in the wrong than that person was to begin with.
How about calling out those who lie about other Christians like Doreen Virtue has done in her recently posted videos regarding Dr. Michael Heiser. She has put out literal character assassination videos on him.
Quiero reformar las prisiones y hospitales mentales para ayudarles a escapar. ¿Quieres vivir el resto de tu vida encerrado o quieres ser libre? El pasado es historia y no se puede cambiar. Ayer fue diferente. Hoy es diferente. Todo cambia. Para escapar tienes que entender Dios existe porque lógicamente es imposible la existencia de la creación o finitud sin el creador o infinitud. ¿Puede ser toda la realidad creada? ¿Por qué? Si contestas correctamente entiendes. Dios es eterno o no creado. Si entiendes ya eres diferente a como eras. Ahora ya sabes que Dios existe. Ahora ya sabes algo más. Ahora ya eres diferente porque entiendes más. Si tu supieses que Dios existe no dirías que crees en Dios, porque es mentira y Dios existe. Dios es realidad inteligente que decidió crear el universo después de haber existido siempre. No estoy pidiendo que me creas sino que pienses rápido para entender la realidad por ti mismo. La realidad no es lo que parece. La Segunda Guerra Mundial y el Holocausto nazi pasó después de que Spinoza descubriese la naturaleza de Dios hace siglos. Es el mayor escándalo de la historia, o uno de los mayores escándalos de la historia de la humanidad. Tenemos una vida y es para siempre. La verdad es el ateísmo es una falacia lógica que asume Dios es la idea religiosa del creador de la creación y concluye erróneamente el creador no existe porque una idea particular de Dios no existe. La verdad es el ateísmo y la religión son malentendidos de la realidad dañinos a Dios. Si piensas en lo que te he dicho te sentirás increíblemente mejor. Dios es la eternidad que asusta. Dios es mortal y todo lo que hacemos lo hacemos a mortalidad. Todo lo que hacemos y decimos y pensamos durante nuestra vida importa, y será para siempre parte de lo que pasó. ¿Cómo sabes si Spinoza no tiene razón si nunca has leído Spinoza? ¿Por qué no das a Spinoza una oportunidad? ¿Por qué no escuchas lo que Spinoza quiso o le dejaron decirte? El tiempo se acaba y es eterno y no se cuando voy a morir. ¿Es el ateísmo una falacia lógica y Dios existe? Todo cambia con la verdad. Si Dios existe la eternidad está garantizada. Dios es para todos igual, el infierno eterno es para las malas personas y el cielo eterno para las buenas. ¿Qué nota te pones a ti mismo en el examen de la vida? ¿Que tal lo hicistes y estás haciendo? Se examina toda tu vida desde el momento en el que decidistes. ¿Eres buena persona o mala, o buena y mala? Para todos es el cielo y también el infierno. Lo que has hecho de bueno para siempre estará contigo, y también lo que has hecho malo. La vida es un examen y la muerte es el resultado. ¿Has aprovado o has suspendido? Morir es encontrar a Dios, que lo es todo, y la historia continúa con los que quedaron vivos. Te estoy explicando como entiendo yo la realidad. Un mundo, un pais sin extranjeros, una humanidad, una ley. La unión hace la fuerza. La realidad es la unión hace la fuerza. La verdad es la unión hace la fuerza. El idioma y el territorio no importan. Por salvar mi vida y la tuya puedo aprender tu idioma y todos vivimos la misma realidad en el universo. Se habla en el idioma que se quiera y se traduce para que no haya malentendidos. No se tiene que hablar en inglés porque el inglés sea el idioma más hablado, se habla para todos. Se habla para que todos entiendan. ¿Qué sentido tiene debatir si Dios existe o no cuando ya se descubrió y se censuró y de nuevo se redescubre y se recensura? ¿Cuantos pensadores racionales tienen que redescubrir Dios existe antes de que la humanidad escuche? No tienes que creer en Dios porque a Dios se llega mediante la razón y los sentidos. Spinoza entendió Dios existe, yo entiendo Dios existe y tú puedes entender. Con la idea de Dios no se juega y la humanidad ha inventado dioses sin saber Dios realmente existe. La humanidad se equivocó. ¿Es posible estar equivocado inventándose dioses horribles? ¿Por qué vives de rodillas? ¿Por qué haces que tus hijos inocentes y vulnerables vivan de rodillas? El ateísmo y la religión te están costando tu salud mental y economía. Gracias.

Sorry Frank, I don't have enough evidence to be a Christian
Well, I hope the lack of evidence for this and some of the other issues doesn't keep you up at night pondering, genius.
Sleep deprivation can become a serious issue and cause one to go loco. Take Huntsy for example, unfortunate fella, rather than sleeping peacefully and counting sheep, he's yammering on about escaped goats...
Me neither Kinggenius. But I do know a simple cure for “unbelievers”…a god actually showing up. A simple hello. But that appears too difficult for an “existing” god, so non existence seems more likely.
You are not good enough for evidence. It’s pretty simple really. Jesus Christ is Holy and He has rules. Try giving up your sins if you really want Him by your side. Or do as you wish like satan does.

I'm curious, should we as Christians fight for the rights of those on death row as much as for the unborn? Murder is murder but i dont see the same level of advocacy when it comes to the death penalty which i find ironic as the same politicians are vehemently against abortion are all for death penalty. It may seem obvious why but as i said earlier, murder is murder and seems like there should be no exceptions to this. Hot take maybe but something ive thought about for a while now
You fight for the rights of those on death row if you truly know they were unjustly persecuted and imprisoned. Otherwise their fate falls to Levitical law, which Jesus did not overturn. Keep in mind there is a difference between murder and killing, and the Bible shows that difference innumerable times.
God instituted the death penalty Himself at Genesis 9 : 5 - 6. In the new covenant, God said He gave the government the sword of wrath to wield against criminals (Romans 13), that would include the death penalty. So comparing the death penalty to abortion is apples & oranges.
@@schlauchmeister234 Yes, the death penalty was instituted by God for His nation Israel or what would be Israel and then more in depth through the Law. But that was for a theocracy. Concerning Romans 13 this can sure be interpreted as justification for capital punishment but if you look at Jesus and His example in John with the woman caught in adultery, the picture changes a bit here. We are to show compassion and grace to those who have offended us or other, just as we've been shown.
In light of this, the "sword" Paul may be talking about is simply governments authority to police and keep the peace. If you want to take that passage as literal, what would you say about evil governments in history, or in the present such as North Korea or Nazi Germany? They clearly were wrong in instituting death penalty for any of their opponents. I'm not trying to be combative or antagonizing, I just want an honest discussion about these matters
@@aorg9793 that was a theocracy. If levitical law still applies, then why aren't adulterers and others stoned under penalty of the Law? Jesus came to show us a different way, by showing compassion and Grace, take the story in John of the woman accused of adulterery
@@jblopez19d "Yes, the death penalty was instituted by God for His nation Israel or what would be Israel" - No, this was given to Noah, before there was any Israel, and Noah's sons included what would become ALL nations, not just Israel.
Right off the start your premise is wrong.
"But that was for a theocracy. Concerning Romans 13 this can sure be interpreted as justification for capital punishment" - Yes it can, and once again, there's nothing in this section limiting it to Israel.
"if you look at Jesus and His example in John with the woman caught in adultery, the picture changes a bit here" - No, nothing changed. It would have been ILLEGAL to stone the woman. Note that the Mosaic law instructed that BOTH the man & woman be stoned. She was caught "in the act", but they brought only her, not the man. This was a trap to trick Jesus. The text directly says this.
"In light of this, the "sword" Paul may be talking about is simply governments authority to police and keep the peace." - To claim that something called "the sword of wrath" doesn't include the death penalty is really naive.
"what would you say about evil governments in history, or in the present such as North Korea or Nazi Germany?" - Those governments ABUSED their power. That doesn't invalidate all authority that God has given to governments.
Irrelevant.
