<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: R13</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The bible also says something like ....If your left hand causes you to sin, cut it off..can remember the exact quote. But do you actually think it means to cut it off? No, I see it as a metaphor to rid whatever is causing sin in your life. Your and others strict constructional view of the Bible looks to me like you think you are doing God's work, youre not. I am going by the 10 commandments and what many have said on here...killing is killing isnt it? You cant condemn your idea of "murder" and condone another's. Btw I am for the death penalty. I see your idea's as hypocritical -
"You hypocrites. You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time? And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?" (Luke 12:56-57)
and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 24:51)
"The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:41-42)
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in." (Matthew 23:13)
And they go to hell with the murderers dont they? </div></div>
Well, you do have to have enough sense to know what is literal and figurative. The 10 Commandmants are the backbone of the Law. Read through Leviticus and Deuteronomy and you will see that the Law is expanded from these 10. And they are literal. And my idea of murder is taught in the Scriptures. Murder is the premeditated killing of another human being, that accoding the Scripture is punishable by death. Yours and others idea of twisting the meaning of Scripture as well as your twisting and changing of the Constitution is what is apalling. And if you don't know the difference between bringing justice to a murderer and the killing of an innocent child you are more twisted than I 1st thought.
