I know I have missed some of the responses to this, but the app only loads the last few dozen, so, if Inam retreading ground covered, I apologize. UK—I’m not certain how things work where you are, but in the US, NO one, law enforcement or military, is ever taught to shoot to wound. (Unless riot control using rubber bullets,) This goes for civilians as well, in a litigation-centered society the laws have made intentionally wounding someone a crime—understand why; if you are using a deadly weapon, it implies the need for deadly force. If it could have been solved without deadly force, why use a deadly weapon. And to B. McC... a poor society who to entrust citizens to carry a sword? “Then said he (Jesus, in case you didn’t realize,) unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” Luke 22:36 Was Jesus the leader of a poor society? |

Several years ago, in IFB circles, there was a book running around called “One book, rightly divided…“ It taught a version of hyper dispensationalism that is anti-biblical, and it led many well-intentioned Christians astray because of their lack of knowledge in the Scriptures. In general, dispensationalism is not biblical as it takes a unified progression of Scripture and attempts to tear it into tiny pieces for each group. (for instance, there are some dispensationalists that believe that the teaching of Jesus was only applicable for Jews of that day, and we Christians are not under that… Hence when Christ said “Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.” Luke 16:18 He was talking to Jews, so we as gentiles could divorce and remarry at will. |

John UK, I will answer your question with a question. We know, by Christ’s own words:“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:17-18) And we know that old testament law specifies the protection of one’s home and family. I do not personally recall there ever being instance in the New Testament where someone dealt with a transgender person—however from Biblical context I know what is expected of me when I deal with them. So my question, just because someone is not “doing something“ in the New Testament, does that rule out Biblical context? Especially when Christ himself said that he came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill? |
