I had a not so cordial exchange with a "christian" yesterday where I quoted the same verse (along with several others about adultry). I can accept that the Lord's will is being done, I may not like it or understand it, but I can accept it. What I am having such difficulty with are all of these so called christians that are defending Mike Sciavo and the murder of this woman. If you know anything at all about scripture, I cannot possibly comprehend this cavalier attitude. It has really weighed quite heavily on my heart. I can't help but think of Revelations (forgive me I don't remember the verse) where it is written that men's hearts will be hardened. Is this not what we are witnessing? I guess only our Father knows the answer to that...
I said in another thread and will repeat here..
That it appears that we have become a society where life is niether treasured or honored...
When someone's life becomes a matter of convenience..
Then society has lost it's SOUL...
That is what we are witnessing...

Two possibiliteis, here:
1. You were conversing with someone who is CINO (Christian In Name Only). Many heretics and apostates still attend churches everywhere; it's their substitute for mebership in the Rotary or Kiwanis Clubs.
2. You were conversing with someone more recently brought to faith who has not yet fully realized all of the moral ramifications of the techings of Scripture. For many converts, that is a real process of growth and change and they need alot of grace and mercy along the way.
