iow, you're guessing based on weak evidence and presumptive desire
"Presumptive desire" :chuckle:
You're free to prove me wrong.

Those are their only debate tools.
More than likely your ego won't allow it...
on the contrary, if my ego was at play i'd be determined to prove you wrong
Seems to be the case here. :idunno:as it is, i just don't care
now now glory, to be fair they do have more
you forgot emotion, unsupported declarations and insults :chuckle:
eta: oh yes, projection too
most of artie's two posts up there are chock full of projection
btw, this only one in a looooong line of artie's claims to be leaving
he'll be back
More than likely your ego won't allow it...or at least it's my "presumptive desire" that it won't.
P.S. :think: just reminiscing over those presumptive desires of my youthful foray onto the dating scene.
In this "gospel of grace" do you believe that anything is a crime? Do you believe that anything should be condemned? Should there be punishment for any of the following?
Homosexuality
Adultery
Child molestation
Murder
Rape
Bestiality
Kidnapping
Enslavement
Bearing false witness

Is it more loving to warn someone that they're about to walk off a cliff, or to let them do it?Condemnation and punishment are two different things.
Plus you are confusing civil/common law and religious law. The former being that which aids society in being civilized and safe. Without it the man with the biggest club wins and we have decided to model our societal, common laws more or less on the laws given to Moses which, incidentally, was given for an entirely different reason than many suppose. Gal 3:24KJV, Rom 3:20KJV
Keep in mind that you have left off your list 2 important ones and included 1 that God does not condemn but we do.
The law the Bible refers to is, in essence, the 10 commandments.
So let me answer by saying that all of your examples are condemned by God as sin, with the exception of enslavement.
But I will ask a counter question.
Do you believe that not (1) loving the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul (2) and your neighbor as yourself are crimes? Should this conduct be condemned? And should there be punishment for it within our common law system?
Paul said; "...he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.", and "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." and "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
Good luck fitting this piece into the common law puzzle.
With regard to the law of God, He will judge and no other. Can I not convince you of the need to understand the difference between sin and a crime? They are not the same things at all. Making them synonyms is an Islamist idea, not Christian.
Is it more loving to protect the innocent from the wicked, or to let the wicked corrupt the innocent?

Sorry, no can do.TLDR

Is it more loving to protect the innocent from the wicked, or to let the wicked corrupt the innocent?
Apparently these 2 questions have some kind of rhetorical significance for you. I am, however, not enlightened beyond having it confirmed that it is possible to create stupid questions that prove nothing.

To be fair, he's not the only one on here to express those sentiments. There's a few on here who advocate that homosexuality and adultery should be capital crimes. Granted, they're all fanatics and legalists but JR isn't alone on the score.
