Moral issues and the Justice system or something like that

I think what you might be trying to elucidate is the degrees to which someone can fall on a scale of good to evil. Perhaps their mentioning of him being a good caretaker was to show the dichotomy of behaving genuinely compassionately in one instance and yet paradoxically behaving in a manner so appalling that it shocks the conscience as a way to explain that they didn't see this coming.Its possible for cartel members to read their children a bedtime story and do everything in their power to love those children while simultaneously being able to disassociate themselves by murdering and torturing someone else's child just to exact revenge on their enemies.Serial killers are also often able to live productive lives and raise families while secretly fantasizing and carrying out horrific rapes and murders.I think good and evil is not binary. Terrible people are occasionally capable of doing something good while good people are occasionally capable of doing something terrible.

As usual, the bible constantly contradicts itself... but here are some basic precepts that Jesus spoke in stark contrast to the very Law that demands and commands death.

quote:

---

You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ (good for nothing) is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. -- Matthew 5:21

---

You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

​

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." -- Matthew 5:38-48

quote:

---

"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: It is mine to avenge; I will repay, says the Lord. On the contrary:

​

If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.

​

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." -- Romans 12:17-21

quote:

---

At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say? They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

​

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her. Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

​

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?

​

No one, sir, she said.

​

Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared. Go now and leave your life of sin. -- John 8:2-11

---

As you can see, Jesus never denied the Law... He said the Law was valid. What they did not understand was that he was setting himself up as the propitiation of the Law which therefore did away with its rigorous constraints -- not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.The bible also says that you, being a woman, need to go outside the gates of the city when you're menstruating. Having not done that makes you eligible for death. Ever eaten a shrimp? Death to you then. Do you see where I am going with this? Because Jesus himself tried to make it very clear that every one of us violated the law and therefore are worthy of death... that is until he became that guilt offering.If you want capital punishment then you want to reinstitute the Law of Moses.

Oh, you mean like killing the first born male child of an Egyptian human and Egyptian animal? You mean like that?

She can't because its indefensible.

quote:

Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
Tear it down, they cried,
tear it down to its foundations!
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.

---

God doesn't need abortions, He is perfectly "happy" to seize infants and smash their skulls against rocks.

God's collateral damage.God isn't as interested in laser-guided munitions designed to kill and only kill the intended target as he is carpet bombing villages indiscriminately."Look, if you wanna omelette you're gonna have to crack a few eggs, amirite?" -- The Lord of Hosts

I think what he is attempting to elucidate is what possible retributive "judgment" could infants and the unborn pose? Uh-huh, and that kind of blissful ignorance is precisely the same mentality that ISIS has as they're sawing off your head. This is Allah's retributive judgment and who are you question God's will? That's what you're failing to see over and over and over again and somehow not make the connection back to yourself. Its remarkable and stultifying to watch. Maybe you're the one worshipping the Golden Calf by clinging to Bronze Age bullshit. Maybe the one true God is still out there waiting for you to find -- one that doesn't destroy entire nations, one that doesn't send you to eternal and unending misery if you question the veracity of the claim. The sureness of your position extends well past faith and is now in the realm of blindly following cultish behavior.
