I believe NoMercys original argument was against what happened during the inquisition though.

Let me pose to you two examples Paul

Well yes that was unbiblical

Also I love how your name is “no mercy” and you’re advocating for mercy

Mercy from justice that is

God gives us mercy from his just wrath

Yes.

We all know about some particular individual who gained the title of a serial killer. The killed for no reason other than they felt a desire to do so. That is my first example, they kill for no reason, they kill because they like it, and they cannot be trusted not to do so again.

There was a man who had a very good friend of his who he helped out of the gutters. He even helped him get a job and he treated him like family. However this man he help, kidnapped his kid, took him and left with him after the abduction. Eventually he was found and captured and he had raped his boy. The man had all the evidence that would send him away for life. But in the transporting of him, the father shot him in the chest killing him and then surrendered and gladly accepted his prison time.

That man killed once, and would not kill again, because he wanted his boy to sleep at night knowing he was safe and he would never have to fear that man again.

That is someone pushed to their limit and killing.

That is an extreme argument

example

Its still a example of the differences.

sorry

Oh thats true.

I didnt make that story up.

I don’t agree with the man’s actions, I believe it is the laws place to punish, but I don’t think that is a case where the man should be executed

I didn't know that

I show no mercy in an argument when a person makes a bad one.

Genesis 6:9 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his image”

And there you have it, there IS a difference in kinds of killing.

It’s still murder. There is no difference in sin, there is a difference in consequence

All sin is the same in God’s eyes. He says that even if you hate your brother, you have committed murder before the LORD

We should seek justice not vengeance, and yes I know that many people get through the cracks in our system.

^^

The mans state of mind was understandable, but that isn't how we should do things.

Well I guess in that mans eyes, after taking a man who lived in the slums, getting him a job, helping him get a house, reboot his life, make a fresh start, treated him like family, and then he steals his son and molests him, a life sentence was not just.

Though, that man was a dead man walking as soon as he got in jail and word about him diddling kids got around.

It wasn’t, and I agree that the rapist should have been executed. But it was not the fathers place

But again

Life isnt a happy ending.

And sometimes people break.

Thats why god invented forgiveness.

So you started out by saying that execution is wrong, and then you just said that a life sentence wasn’t just

God also invented justice

I never said ANYTHING against execution.

well considering what usually happens to rapists in prison, a death sentence might be going easy on him.

sorry

That’s what you’ve been debating me about

My original argument was incompatable beleifs CANNOT exist in the church, and toleration of such contradictions are not possible for christians.

Well I agree
