Are You Qualified to be the Executioner?

[quip]

No, I don't enjoy the death of the wicked, but I am wise enough to see the necessity.

Yet arrogant enough to determine/demand its degree?

 

[JudgeRightly]

You're not the Lord God.

I didn't claim to be.

I am, however, a Christian, called to be like Christ, who is God.

 

[JudgeRightly]

Yet arrogant enough to determine its degree?

Scripture says that people who commit crimes worthy of death should be put to death.

You're attempting to make an appeal to motive. That is a logical fallacy.

Good, then speak for yourself...not God.

And you rejoice carrying out those particular scriptures. QED

Yet arrogant enough to determine/demand its degree?

I am humble enough to accept the judgment of One who is qualified to determine the degree of punishment that is suitable.

Leviticus 20:10 10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.​

Then give it up to God. He doesn't need your interference.

So we're not allowed to rejoice when justice is served?

Why would you?

Why would you?

Re: Matt 7

Because justice is good and so rare these days.

Why do you need to personalize this? Justice is good. Don't you agree?

That's very convenient..as long as you remain in the light of righteousness.

I'm not the one personalizing justice...you are, in your arrogance.
Justice simply IS. I'm neither arrogant enough to either dispense it, determine it nor rejoice in it.

Sounds like you're too scared of justice because you tried to assert justice, you would also be condemned.

No. It's a relative concept.
The concept of justice means a (relative) wrong was percieved...a state of suffering necessarily ensued prior. Righting this wrong entails more suffering for, no less, a temporary feeling of satisfaction. It's a zero-sum idea. Justice in the absolute is an illusion.

Is there such thing as absolute truth?

None that we're privy to.
