Re: Justice
Josh, if justice is important, what exactly does it look like? So far you've said God has the answers. Make sure a perp can't reoffend. And don't put yourself in a position where crimes can be committed against you. Also you said forgiveness is important. So justice would mean you would seek maximum...

Re: Justice
I'm actually trying to figure out your thinking. Because if we're supposed to obey the law, then obviously lethal self defense and death penalties are acceptable and you don't prescribe to that.
Prevention is certainly wise, but not everyone is going to be so fortunate as to avoid every criminals.

Re: Justice
We all know what the Bible says about negligence causing death. Are you suggesting similar courses of action today?

Re: Justice
Ok, Josh. Do you have kids? I don't remember. Let's suppose you do, and one of your daughters gets raped, and you discover who it is. What does justice for your daughter look like?
Suppose one of your sons is murdered, and the killer is caught. What does justice for your dead son look like?

Re: Justice
We have ample instruction for how to treat each other equitably. But what is the Biblical advice for when that code of ethics is broken?

Justice
What is justice? We often hear "justice needs to be served" or perhaps "she deserves justice." What exactly do we mean, and exactly how does that look? Does it look different if the victim of the injustice is alive vs deceased? It is my studied opinion that we have no idea what j...

When you lose a family member in tragic or violent ways, and you get to read false salacious (correctly used ) details in the paper, it changes the way you read things in the news. I understand the purpose of this thread, but I hope the family doesn't ever read it.

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
Again, I don't think the title is accurate. "Mennonite girl, 3", simply is not accurate, unless you're using "Mennonite" purely as some kind of ethnic marker. Which is something I strongly disagree with. He got something wrong. So did you. I strongly disagree with you accusing J...
