Thank you for the courteous reply, which, however, smells to me of wishful thinking. Inasmuch as Jesus said He came to fulfil, not abolish, the law, fundamentalist Christians should feel bound by the law except in cases where Jesus enunciated a new principle, eg the Sabbath being made for man and not the other way around. However, I’m a non-fundamentalist Christian, so I eat pork and would jail homosexuals who publicly act lewdly or publicly advocate for open profession of homosexuality but would leave in peace those who kept their perversion private. Execution is and should be out.
Nothing wishful at all about Noahide law being that which inherits upon gentile nations. Nothing whatsoever.
It is straight up good and accurate theology. It’s the cherry picking which takes place for the sake of bolstering condemnation which smells of wishful thinking. Consider even what would have taken place EVEN IN THE HEBRAIC covenant if only one witness were available... yes, the offender would skate.
I didn’t put that in there. God wrote it into the bible. By claiming too much where it is convenient for us, we end up turning ourselves brittle with hatred and unable to deal with the real issues perpetuating the problem.
