So, to all those so-called followers of the Bible like Matt Powell, just read the words on the page. God doesn't need you to extrapolate on subjects in which He has made Himself abundantly clear.

On the surface, Powell seems to be in tune with the mind of God regarding homosexuality, at least according to this article.

“As far as homosexuality goes, I believe the Bible puts the death penalty on it,” Powell said.

Examined carefully, though, that statement turns out to be some weak tea. Why would anyone who has read the Bible equivocate with the expression, "I believe" when there are numerous verses throughout God's Word that clearly lay down the law on capital crimes such as homosexuality?

Even worse, however, is Powell's declaration that he, "believes in humane executions."

Does this supposed preacher of The Word believe in "Godly" executions, or some vague "humanist" standard?

Ultimately, what we believe or don't believe is of no consquence to Almighty God. He was Lord and King of Everything before we were created. Billions of people on this planet do not believe in Him at all. Does that make Our Lord and Savior less real?

God saw fit to enscribe stoning as His execution of choice in His Holy Word and He spelled out quite clearly which offenses of His Law are punishable by death. Start suggesting alternatives on the first and you may as well regard the second as mere suggestions as well.

When are people going to wake up and stop saying stupid things about morality and criminality that they claim are supported by the Bible?

If you claim to be a preacher of God's Word, then make certain that what you preach squares with God's Word. Don't play fast and loose with the words of the Bible. They are scripture, not jazz.


2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:


Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination

Leviticus 20:13

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.


I have highlighted the word "blood" in black (ironically) to emphasize God's position on the means of putting to death those who enage in gay sex. When's someone's own blood is splashed over their dead body, the likelyhood that they were licked to death by kittens is remote.

So, to all those so-called followers of the Bible like Matt Powell, just read the words on the page. God doesn't need you to extrapolate on subjects in which He has made Himself abundantly clear.

I have seen terrible YouTube videos of gay men in Iran struggling in agony as they hang slowly from a crane or low hanging type platform, this is truly a terrible punishment and nothing that any true Christian would ever want to be a part of.

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

What worries me, though, is that you seem to be seeking such videos - I've never seen a video of an actual death or torture in my life, because I don't seek them - but you seem to have a sadistic or masochistic streak in you, huh? :o

Good, so at least you agree with the minister. You support a humane way in which to punish offenders then.

I'm confused, how did you get that idea? I just said, that whichever way they die (killed by men or killed by God via disease), they are going to Hell. That's a statement of a fact regarding their future, not a statement regarding my preferences how they die.

Look, I will support whatever legislation is brought by our Godly President Donald J. Trump (:wub:), because as a Christian, my duty is to support the laws of the land where I live. (It's in the Bible, look it up). Personally, though, Mike Pence's program of electrocuting homosexuals seems really good, I hope they implement it at the national level.

You couldn't be thinking of sending homosexuals to the electric chair?

Sorry, but I still have no idea what you are talking about when you say "electrocuting gays"

Is that a punishment, an execution method....what is that?

Originally Posted by Basilissa (Post 1236574)

Wait, now I'm confused: so you don't think the electric chair is a humane way to die? I thought you said you wanted gays to be executed in humane way?

Here:

Nonetheless, I was not talking about electrocuting them to death, just doing it the Mike Pence way. You know, electric shocks to make them straight.

No, it is a punishment then because it sounds to me like the Tucker Telephone used to punish male inmates in the Arkansas Prisons.




At the notorious Tucker State Prison Farm male inmates would be taken to the punishment room where they would be restrained to a flat table. Two electric wires would be attached to the male offender.


The ground wire was wrapped around the big toe and the "hot wire" (the wire that administers the current of electricity) would be applied to the genitals. The crank on the phone would then be turned, and an electric current would shoot into the prisoner's body.



The electric current would cause excruciating pain to the male genitals. Continuing with the telephone euphemisms, 'long-distance calls' referred to several such charges, just before the point of losing consciousness. Often the victim would experience detrimental effects, mainly permanent organ damage, mental health problems, loss of one or both testicles and rendered permanently impotent.
