Which one of those definitions are you trying to refer to when you use the word, conservative?
None of the above definitions fit since LF can in no way be considered a conservative platform.
LF it is merely a HATE CHANNEL where a very few disgruntled posters still drop by from time to time to vent their uncontrollable anger. You need only objectively read and carefully consider their posts to fully understand this.
Stop with your the BULLSHIT And realize that the loss of a hate channel is not a bad thing.
You are to this channel as Wormtongue was to Theoden,
Wormtongue and Theoden are fictional characters.
You need to come out of your euphoric, make believe mental state in la la land detached from the harsher realities to face the fact that buckeroo was correct when he stated:
What is the point of a chit-chat channel on the Internet with maybe 1 post per day? This has been going on for months.
There is a problem with the management; they can not open up the place to newbies.
What is you problem that you cannot see this?
KEEP YOUR FORKED TONGUE BEHIND YOUR TEETH!
KEEP YOUR FUCKING HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND FACE REALITY!!!
The practice of exorcism is an ancient part of the belief system of many cultures and religions for the religious or spiritual practice of evicting demons or other spiritual entities from a person that is believed to be possessed.
Depending on the spiritual beliefs of the exorcist, this may be done by causing the entity to swear an oath, performing an elaborate ritual, or simply by commanding it to depart in the name of a higher power.
What is your recommended method for the exorcism you are thinking about?
Furthermore Following along your same line of thinking
Witchcraft Is on the rise as some Americans interest in spell- casting tends to wax as instability rises and trust in establishment ideas plummets.
Do you have any thoughts on handling this remembering that
The witch hunts of western Europe in earlier times were actually aimed at ferreting out devil worshipers and heretics. The majority of the accused were hanged, drowned or died of privation and torture in prison, though people were burned alive in some regions.
The rationale for burning was that the Witches souls were purified by this act, so they were actually being done a favor. An added bonus was that the witches couldnt return and continue to do evil since they had been completely consumed by the fire.
EXODUS 22:18 KJV "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
Since you know that then you must also know what the Bible says that witchcraft is and how witchcraft works. So, tell us
And why do you fail to point out that while the Bible very clearly condones and commands capital punishment, there are distinctive verses that are definitely against capital punishment.
Like here
when Cain murdered Abel, God sentenced him to wandering as a fugitive rather than to death, and even issued a warning against killing Cain. A similar sentiment is suggested in Proverbs 28:17. We see from 2 Samuel 14:1-11 that kings would grant clemency in extenuating circumstances. In that case, the one who had killed was an only child, and the king allowed him to remain alive under house arrest. We find that the prophets, repeatedly beseech the masses to repent so that God will not destroy them. Additionally, there are numerous verses that condemn revenge, judging, anger and hatred, as well as those that promote peace harmony, forgiveness and acceptance.
Hiers (2004 & 2009) shows that the laws related to capital punishment shifted over time with old laws being abandoned, and new laws taking their place; however, he points out that some later laws seem to mitigate the severity of earlier one's. He further quotes quotes Glen Stassen who argues that even in biblical times, capital punishment was like,
"gradually, if not progressively" being abandoned, pointing out that capital punishment is rarely found in the Prophets and the Writings. Paul Onyango cites Carol Meyers argues that treatment of adulteresses in Ezekiel 16 and 23 is far more progressive than that of other ancient near eastern cultures of the time, due to its avoidance/rejection of capital punishment.
Perhaps the strongest case against capital punishment can be made from John 8, where Jesus seems to say that capital punishment should not be carried out contrary to Mosaic law. In John 8, the Pharisees challenge Jesus by presenting a woman who they say committed adultery. They point out that the law of Moses clearly states that such a woman ought be stoned, and challenge Jesus to give his opinion as to what should be done. Jesus famously states "let he who is without sin throw the first stone." Effectively saying that capital punishment should not be carried out, without directly contradicting the law of Moses.
So, is it that you only believe the Versus you want to believe?
Gatlin: when Cain murdered Abel, God sentenced him to wandering as a fugitive rather than to death.
Stone: Where was a law calling for the death penalty before Cain killed Abel? There wasn't one yet.
With that said by you then you can of course cite the name of the book, the chapter number, and the verse number of the law calling for the death penalty.
Please do this now
Ah, WAIT
The death penalty existed.
Want to know why?
Then I will inform you that in the Book of Genesis 2:17) you will find that God tells Adam:
But of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it, for on the day that you eat thereof, you shall surely die.
According to the Talmud, this verse is definitely a death penalty.
Lets pursue this further and get you to answer some questions about your understanding of the death penalty:
Does the Bible say murderers, rapists and other criminals should be put to death?
Do the Old Testament laws about capital punishment (the death penalty) apply to Christians?
Does "Thou shalt not kill" in the Ten Commandments mean the death penalty is wrong?
Did Jesus teach that capital punishment is wrong when He showed mercy to the woman caught in adultery?
Do Jesus' teachings against revenge mean capital punishment is wrong?
It will be interesting to learn your responses if you can make any
