It's not tresspassing.

Really....

That would include entering a home to kill a person accused of walking unescorted in some Muslim theocracies and if you are to be consistent, then the State would be within its rights to execute unbelievers.

Nope, the bible prohibits this.

The Bible commands this. Adultry was an executable offense. Do you just not like certain parts of the Bible and feel free to ignore them at your whim?

If you are going to rely on this "uproot the tares" argument, then please explain why prosecuting people for the obscure "pharmacus" reference you have provided is justifiable, but prosecuting the highest sin (infadelity to God) is not? Would you not be uprooting the tares by prosecuting people for intoxication? Do you realize that by your own logic, the Constitution can't possibly be ordained by God since it forbids such disregard for property?

Do you really believe that you as a private citizen are authorized to enter your "un-neighbor's" house in order to make a citizens arrest for the crime of pot-smoking or intoxication?

God said the old covenant is no more.

God specifically told us to leave people alone in their beliefs. God did not specifically tell us not to enforce the law on private property.

Would you not be uprooting the tares by prosecuting people for intoxication? Do you realize that by your own logic, the Constitution can't possibly be ordained by God since it forbids such disregard for property?

We are allowed self defense through civil law. Laws against drug dealers are self defense. We are not directly threatened by those that believe wrong in most cases.

Do you really believe that you as a private citizen are authorized to enter your "un-neighbor's" house in order to make a citizens arrest for the crime of pot-smoking or intoxication?

Depends on what the civil laws on search and siezure are.
