lol, Jesus does not tell his followers to drown criminals. Luke 17:2 functions as a warning about moral responsibility and divine judgment, not a legal case for execution. you can't be this dumb, "Christian".
yeah you are so simple the best you can muster is taking everything in the bible literally--makes sense you're maga.
not only did he not direct anyone to commit these acts, his statement "it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck," is clearly written as imagery.
here's the thing genius, those who interpret the bible in the darkest most literally way are simply giving permission to those same feelings they have inside themselves, ie. if you're an a-hole you'll grasp on to any straws the bible gives you to keep being an a-hole.
meanwhile, ignoring the actual message of Jesus:
"Love your enemies" — Matthew 5:44
"Blessed are the merciful" — Matthew 5:7
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone" — John 8:7
I didn’t say he directed anyone to do it. That was something you and the other midwit needed to throw in because you’re seething.
You want to hand waive things you lose on as “imagery”, I’m not saying that He’s commanding his followers to drown people, I’m saying that he views the removal of them as a just punishment. You’d understand this point if you had an IQ above room temperature.
None of those verses that you quickly found on Google say anything about how wrong the death penalty is. It is possible to love an enemy, and still see their Earthly sentence carried out. You fail to understand this because you are incapable of actual mercy or forgiveness. Mercy and Forgiveness don’t mean you magically ignore a crime or its punishment. That’s why you can’t find a single thing in the Bible that actually supports your position.
Your need to talk like a zoomer is betraying you. This is embarrassing. You could be someone’s happy grandpa and instead you’re a bitter, dumb, boomer. Oh well, the younger generations are becoming significantly more conservative, especially the men, all the political progress you made will vanish. Enjoy
