Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams |
Hey. Your talking to a guy who doesn't think his own Catholic baptism is valid. :-)
I never said baptisms and communions weren't valid. Those are between the recipient and God. I said get the perverts out as soon as possible. Simple as that.
Never said you couldn't just blow the dust off and do it.
Do you still beat your wife?
Loaded question, and not relevent.

Not everyone has a "personal experience" with everything. In fact, it is by dispassionate means that we arrive at what is truly just.
Neither a person whose kin is on death row, nor the families of the victims are in a dispassionate state. It would be great if the victim's family can find a way to forgive a killer who is repentant. But this is difficult for many, understandably.

And whiskey and fine drinking songs about fishmonger's daughters. :-)

The answer to this is in the scripture you quote.
Deuteronomy 4 2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.
These commands were for Israel, and that's who this refers to.
Who did God say this to? Did he say it to the Egyptian Pharaoh, or a heathen nation?
God holds those who he enters an agreement with, and not those who were not a part of it.

I agree with you except for in extreme circumstances mentioned in 1 Corinthians 1. I also think pediphilia would fall under that as well. I don't know entirely what this means but I bet it means said person should no be a priest or minister anymore.
"1 Corinthians 5:5 To 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.
Except for the fact that a mixed multitude came out of Egypt and any sojourners with them had to abide commands as well.
The fact they joined with Israel was proof they were in agreement with the Laws of Israel, sorta like foreigners who come to the US are supposed keep our laws.

Your pushin it bub! :-)

Like I said, next time a cop stops you and wants to give you a speeding ticket, tell him your not under the law. :-)
What am I missing here?????
JH ...?
.....(^g^)
My bad. I forgot you can peer into the hearts of men and know whether they are acting by "conscious design" or not. you should meet Havoc. He can read auras while in line at the Piggly Wiggly to tell who's dancing with the devil.
You'd get along smashingly.

If God is the cop, I'll do just that. :-)

I called your home office on that one bub. They said they've had other reports besides mine.
JH :-)
Then is it safe to say that man doesn't have the ability to determin what's right or wrong, with out the backing of God's definition of what sin is?
