Speaking of word salad experts…

Killer Bees…. long live Braymore, Beaumont, and Brennan! 😁

Doom, despair, and agony on me!

A pervert.

Why? I never dodged anything. I said that your reference to a slew of covenant laws that pertained to (and was binding upon, legally and morally) a specific people group at a defined and limited time is not applicable in the same sense for God’s covenant people in this economy/dispensation...

And we couldn’t have that now, could we? 😁

Go Tribe! 😉

He knows what he’s doing, and probably operates by the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" ethic. Time will tell if his bawdy but non-leftist brand of humor will cost him significantly. I doubt it.

Okay, then it seems reasonable that OT public executions and their very public nature would generally serve as a deterrent to those who would behave similarly. So far as your question about homosexuality and the basis for using the Bible to justify executing them, I would make the argument that...

lol, I am so technologically challenged and such a really poor multitasker. That should have read “Do you think it could be a deterrent for others besides Jihadist radicals?

You didn’t ask any questions in the last post. Which question are you referring to? This …. “Are you referring to capital punishment or the public viewing of the execution?” I have no problem answering questions. You just dodged my question though. Do you believe that the death penalty is...

I thought that we were in agreement that the death penalty is authorized by scripture (old and new)? I thought you were only beef was with it being publicized?

Do you think it could be a deterrent for Jihadist radicals?

No, why do you ask?

Capital punishment was ordered, and it was to be public, that others may fear (Deut 21:21-23), just as Romans 13:4 says.

I’m also a native worthless nut (a Buckeye 😁, from the southern part of the state), and attended a campaign event for Vance at a local pizza shop when he was running for election. But this is definitely a different politically charged climate than it was back then and I understand your concern.

I believe that, and likewise for the record, my comments were only targeted at those I have witnessed doing it elsewhere. 😊

I think I probably mentioned this before on the forum, but a professor in an ethics course argued that the death penalty was not a deterrent to crime. I was persuaded of his sophistry for a while in my young adulthood. It seems to me that, though your language of it being unnecessary may be...

The significance is that it sets moral precedence, and it hasn’t been nullified in the New Testament, but rather is given renewed authorization by the apostle Paul in regards to Civic responsibilities.

I don’t think that the radical Jihadists need much of an excuse. “You breathe Allah’s air….allahu akbar”!
