Possibly this kind of mercy: Jesus said: Luke 17:2 King James Bible It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Do you think this verse is addressing mercy? Again. when you say "a Christian i...

We have seen the result of more horrible murders when the left sets criminals free (merciful?) then an innocent person loses their life.

When a few people celebrated CK's death you assigned that attitude to "half the country." When a person claiming Christianity does a despicable thing you can conveniently deny any connection to Christianity. Christianity, as an ideology, does not call for assassinating its opponents. (The...

I find it ironic that you simultaneously complain about being silenced and advocate silencing others. I seem to remember scriptures where Jesus instructs, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." I am not silenced (yet), but it's not like there haven't been plenty of attempts to d...

One of the first commands God gave after the Flood was for capital punishment. [Gen 9:5-6 NASB20] – I certainly will require your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it.
