"Do you think that Christ would have put a homosexual couple to death?"

Ecclesiastes 3
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

Matthew 13
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Zephaniah 1
14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Christ raised Lazerus from the dead.
Christ turned the water to wine at the wedding.
Christ gave eyesight to the blind man.
Christ cast the demons from the mad man.
Christ fed the multitudes with one fish and a loaf of bread.
Christ walked on water.

So, I ask you. Would Christ put a homosexual couple to death? Tell me.

"So, I ask you. Would Christ put a homosexual couple to death? Tell me.

I think He has something else in mind.
Guess you'll have to wait and see.

One more thing.

When the guards came to take Christ away, he was with his apostles. Peter drew his sword and struck one of the guards and cut his ear off. Christ picked up the guards ear and put it back on.

Would Christ put a homosexual couple to death?

[Violette]

Freedom9, The answer is that there is no example, not one single example, that Christ ever used his power to hurt anyone.

When he was at his most angry, when he discovered that the "church" had become a market, he never expressed his anger through pain or suffering of another.

So, no, I do not think that that man would hurt a homosexual couple. Not today, not ever.

I have to disagree.
People often don't want to hear or believe that which condemns thier lifestyle.
The gospels all bear witness to those things that you claim of Christ.
Would Christ kill them?
He might not, but he stated that His Father would. (For as the man is, so is his strength)

The following scripture pretty well sums up the matter.

Deuteronomy 32

5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Would Christ put a homosexual couple to death?

He would have most likely said, "Go thy way and sin no more."

But what would that matter to those convinced that they had not sinned?

[Violette]

What would he have done if a homosexual couple was going to be executed by an angry crowd for their behavior?
