Thanks for the commentary on current news of radical activists. We should avoid being cruel to animals, but maybe they’re up to something else. Maybe they’re anti-competition fronts for tyrannical interests.

Okay. I see where you're coming from. That was written shortly before or about 2,000 years ago, probably within a very intolerant, proselytizing and violent Roman Empire. Chrstianity didn't yet exist as a Roman religion. There were only the writings left long before in a similar religion by the Essenes/Egyptians (Eusebius, see phrase, "works of the ancients," Catholic Advent).

Punishment before the end of days will come to those who live by the sword: those who are paid to enforce a robber regime of dishonest masters after the nations' attack against Jerusalem. And most likely, enforcers of some factions will be fighting those of other factions (brother against brother) after some other events that thin their ranks (after the attack of nations trying to take Jerusalem). More of a concern, I would think.

“Judaism teaches that G-d has commandments for non-Jews (the Noachide Laws) just as He does for Jews and these are equally binding. Although these laws are not enforceable at present, they do indeed specify the death penalty for certain idolatrous acts (though the rules of evidence are so stringent as to make capital punishment very rare). According to the Noachide Laws, the only method of capital punishment permitted to non-Jews is “death by the sword” (ie, beheading; though hanging also counts).”

Yes, the phrase "not enforceable at present," carries with it the implication that IF circumstances changed, such that people like ZC came into power and had no fear of blow-back, then those rules WOULD be enforced.

That’s pretty funny coming from a Christian, where Jesus’ first action on return will be killing billions of people.

[PapaBear3625]

Prophecies about what God may choose to do at some point in the future are one thing.

Declarations in the here-and-now about what somebody may feel to be religiously-mandated behavior regarding killing or enslaving others (provided it can be done without consequences to the performer) are something else.

You have a problem with legitimately established courts of justice administering the death penalty after due process?

[PapaBear3625]

You have a problem with legitimately established courts of justice administering the death penalty after due process?

You would be fine with "courts of justice" administering the death penalty for adultery, blasphemy, or homosexuality?

Keep in mind that most of the biggest mass murder events, from the Holocaust to the Killing Fields, were carried out in administration of the laws of the government in power at the time.
