Or hinder/discourage it.

sure, and allowing them to live thirty years in prison may cause them to harden their heart and reject God as well

ultimately, it's all up to God

if the person in question is one of the flock, I trust that Christ will gather them in :thumb:

True. But you won't offer them the benefit of time to seak peace for their transgression(s)?

Then we've gone full circle. :idunno:
It seems retribution is more your style.

 

[ok doser]

i prefer to call it justice with a strong deterrent effect :thumb:

 

[Tambora]

in this case, when He sends a prophet

which is why i asked:

Ahh, so you think it is reasonable to say that GOD sent a prophet to the King to tell him to not serve justice per the law but to be unjust and break the law this time.
Guess that just law wasn't so iron clad to be obeyed after all.

I wouldn't call such justice under the auspices of penance. (Re: penitentiary).

Seems you want to send the unredeemed to hell expediently as possible i.e. unmitigated retribution.

 

[Jacob]

are you a recent convert to Judaism?

I am a convert, though I have not undergone an Orthodox Conversion, but I do not know how to answer your question about recent.

ok, thanks - i just thought that was worded ambiguously

 

[Rusha]

They can't do that if they're dead.
(RE: post #33)

No ... though they would have plenty of time *prior* to receiving the death penalty. BTW, I only advocate the death penalty for those who actually commit crimes that harm others ... such as rapists, child molesters and murderers.

Not if you refuse to grant them the time for repentance.

You may never know that for certain. In effect, you're playing God.

ok :idunno:

 

[Jacob]

You are welcome. I have desired an Orthodox Conversion.

So, retribution reigns supreme with you. Just calling 'em as I see 'em....because you surely won't.

sorry :idunno:

Sure you do, otherwise you wouldn't have responded. Eh, you pulled this shtick on anyone who responded to you from Barb onwards so you can't play that card...
