He’s right, which is why we should ditch the bible as a moral compass
This is what Fascism is to me. Not the brutality of this. It’s the fact that there are no actual rules and anything is okay as long as “we” are doing it to “them.”
Oh great, because some mega church clown is the moral instance that can accurately judge this. 🙄
Kind of like the pope if he wasn’t too woke I guess 🙄
Seems like they are now issuing Fatwas.

disagrees.You sure about that one?
Where did Jesus speak out against public execution?
In fact, he specifically said that he wasn’t here to abolish the old law, but to fulfill it.
And guess what was included in the old law…
Not a Christian but I read the new testament and Jesus does stop a public execution:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+8&version=KJV
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And Jesus was kind of famously…publicly executed.
This story wasn’t about condemning the practice of public execution, it was about pointing out the hypocrisy of the people participating in a stoning of a woman for adultery. Was it even a public execution (that is, an event people would attend and watch)?
Always just came off as a more vigilante justice thing so I’m not even sure it was a public execution in the way we’re referring to. Even if it were an officially adjudicated sentence, I don’t recall mention of a crowd to watch or anything. Though it has been years since I’ve read it so I dunno.
You can read the whole thing in the link I sent. It was a public execution, with audience participation even.
Lol yeah no thanks. I’ll read a good book instead.
Nothing you said changes the message of the story. He doesn’t condemn the public execution at all. He just talks people out of participating.
There’s also that whole thing about he himself needing to be very brutally publicly executed in order to fulfill some convoluted, nonsensical plan that he himself (in the form of his own father) came up with.
That’s like the ultimate condoning of public execution. It literally saved humanity, according to Christians.
The guy who walked knowingly to his own public execution and never once condemned the practice? That guy??
Oh good, lets ask all the other cults & sects their opinions too
Aren’t these the same assholes complaining about beheadings live streamed? Maybe we should see public executions for pedos like the hundreds of holy men.
Religion of peace everybody
If you’re looking in the Bible for morals, you’re probably looking in the wrong place.
Man without a soul unsuccessfully contemplates morality, more at eleven!
Scumbag says scumbag things. News at 11.
If your megachurch pastors are below the humanitarian level set by the fucking pope, then your slimeball pastors are wrong.
Which tells a lot about the lack of morals in such “megachurch pastors”.
If even Mike Johnson, who is a professional liar able to justify anything, is saying that live streaming is not a good idea, maybe is not a good idea
But the book says something like this, right?
if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, strike him back sevenfold and show no mercy killing him, so that everyone may know the full wrath of your vengeance
To Johnson it’s purely a political calculation. Everything is.
The difference is Mike Johnson actually has the power to whip votes and put a stop to this.
In theory he has power but I’ll remind you that his position is also quite weak. He barely got the speaker position and could easily be removed if he pisses anyone off on the Republican side. Even if he wanted to do something he’d at best be shouted down.
Not defending him mind you I want to hang and spear him but it is the reality of his power, he is less a leader and more a lightning rod.
That’s definitely somewhere in the Old Testament, but needs more smiting.
He he he, these American demons are funny. Well, I’m sure he can explain that one to God when he meets Him. 🙃
