Should people be executed for blasphemy? (Page 2)

bahcatha: bab? damn it has been a while.

Lord Sargasm: lol my heads on the chopping block then

Hyenablood: I think people should be executed for being really really stupid, and rude, racist, bulling, killing and for being cruel to animals, for being a dictactor that kills his own people. Lots of reasons people should be executed.

smoke4ever: No, they shouldn't be executed for blasphemy.
God wants us to be merciful toward eachother.
He wants us to pray for our enemies.


Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another about yourselves.

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the LORD.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written:
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the LORD.
(Deuteronomy chapter 32 verse 35)

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."
(Proverbs chapter 25 verses 21-22)

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


Romans chapter 12 verses 9-21

CoIin: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying ... he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him.

- Leviticus 24: 13-16

CoIin: Oh wait. He's not done yet....

"The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death "

Leviticus 24:16

CoIin: This once again illustrates the absurdity of trying to use the Bible as a coherent guide

Geoff: I still think that people should be executed for wilful stupidity.

CoIin: Funny, that seems to be about the only thing God doesn't mind

doulas4life: during the second coming of Christ, God will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. Exodus 20:7 "you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." so the real concern should not be whether or not we should judge it, but the fact God definitely will

Hyenablood: god damn it goddamnit, fuck hell, shit, damn it all to hell, god damn it god damn it, oh my god oh my god.

doulas4life: i will pray for you, you know not what you do, by the mercies of God repent

CoIin: I've been called names all my life. Just like everyone else, no doubt. It might have bothered me when I was a kid. It doesn't bother me now. Just like everyone else I guess.

Why does it bother God? It seems rather unbecoming of an omnipotent entity.

Grow up, Yahweh!! Act your age!! Tee hee

Oh yeah, and the execution thing seems kinda melodramatic too

Geoff: I don't mind people praying. In fact I think that people who think that prayer has some purpose should pray all the time.

That way they won't be able to vote.

doulas4life: ...Father in heaven, your creation is beautiful and testifies of your glory, and your awsome power.However three enemies of our soul.. the world, the flesh, and the devil are trying to corrupt your creation and bring it down.Please have mercy on colin,hyenablood,and Geoff the sons and daughters of men... for they know not what they do. Please Jesus in accordance with your lovingkindness please reveal youself to them, and according to your mercy please do not charge them with these sins. For they may of been taken captive by the devil, by the power of your blood Jesus please free them from satans tyranny and free them from the works of the flesh, and free them from this tainted world. destroy their pride, convince them of sin, convince them of judgement, convince them of righteousness. Lead them to repentance. Take the blinders off their eyes and lead them to repentance. Please give them a hunger and a thirst to seek your face God, and please send holy angels to guard and protect them during this time that they are in the world.
please wash them thouroughly of their iniquity,
please grant them grace,
and please allow them to inherit the crown of life
in accordance with your will God.
In your precious name I pray king Jesus, Amen.

CoIin: A: If I murdered all those who maligned my name, would that make me "good" too?
B: No
A: Um, why not?
B: Because you're not God
A; So if God performs a certain act X, it's good, but if I do it's bad?
B: Yes
A: Does this apply to all acts? And vice versa?

Geoff: Surely the origins of the phrase, "Do as I say, not as I do."

Serabi: Such as this?

Serabi: Or this?

lavendar_star: rofl laughing are you a enemy of Christ and God Colin and co!!! (dont get me started on the blatant sexism on the use of father) what a bloody cheek and dont you guys have mothers as well and have you been touched by the spirit yet or visited by angels. jeez

Serabi: One mans' truth a another mans' blasphemy'

WARNING - STRONG LANGUAGE! (But brilliant)

Serabi: Dull Ass for life, are you real??

Geoff: I feel that self-righteousness is more deserving of condemnation than blasphemy.

Geoff: Goes off to bitch-slap some JWs.

//I don't believe in the death penalty.
