People died at the word of a prophet or apostle so this general principle you propose seems incongruent with other scripture that we see in Acts, 1 Corinthians, and Revelation (the rest of the OT supporting my point, as in Moses and Elijah the prophet and the two witnesses ). 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. 12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. 3For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6
It’s absolutely appalling the number of Catholics who are advocating for the murder of non-Catholics whom they deem heretics, and then cobbling together unrelated passages of Scripture to justify it, no less.
There is NO justification found anywhere, including Scripture, for the murder of someone rejecting a denominational affiliation.
That the HOLY SPIRIT slew Ananias and Sapphira does NOT justify the RCC taking up the sword. It is NOT man’s job to remove people from this life.
To imply that Paul justifies that action by taking out of context his quote about removing the immoral brother from fellowship and using it to imply that he approves of MURDER for disagreeing with the church is unconscionable.
And the passage about the two witnesses in Revelation is not relevant in the least.
This post is an absolute abomination.
