A friendly reminder falls on deaf ears.

Such a dank meme!
It's like a waterfall in my pants right now. Lol

I love the sponge bob. So condescending!

Ironic

You

[image deleted]Do you mean the like some of the Puritans who were settlers in some of the original colonies in America? They were Congregationalists from the Church of England who made sure that theirs was the official "state" church (before there were any actual states) and they would kill Baptists or anyone else who didn't agree with their doctrinal interpretations and applications. They killed many people.
Some of them were misguided Christians but like in all sects or denominations of Christianity there were undoubtedly false converts in their midst as well. It is wrong interpretation and application of the bible that would lead to a Christian participating in such atrocities.
However, there are biblical principles that say if anyone (even those who call themselves Christian) has unrepentant hate, anger, malice in their heart or any number of sins constantly in their lives they will not inherit the kingdom of God.
If you would learn those principles (you don't have to believe them) you wouldn't have to use the fallacy of anecdotal evidence or misplaced vividness to argue against an entire system or group that has/had (for a time) terrible biblical interpretation. You could have an argument against the actual hateful people calling themselves Christian who could care less if you died. Interested?

No, a strict interpretation of the Bible would not lead to killing homosexuals. So because you read something in Leviticus (the Old Testament) you think a strict interpretation would require Christians to follow it? If that's so, you don't understand what the work of Christ was for. So, please stop pretending to know anything about Christianity.

You are so misguided and I feel bad for you. You may have knowledge of versus that state laws from the OT but it is obvious that you don't understand what it means to be a Christian. This is obvious since you are under the impression that Christians are to obey the laws of the OT. The impression you have shows that you don't understand the work of Christ.

I'll leave you with Galatians 3 lines 23 through 25:

"Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian."

Stop trying to split hairs and morph your message in an attempt to look correct.

The point is simple: no where in the Bible is a CHRISTIAN commanded to kill homosexuals.

I have to respond to this comment since Imgflip puts a thread limit.

To answer your question asking what Matthew 5:17 means:

Under the OT, salvation was dependent on upholding the laws of the OT. Matthew 5:17 is stating that Christ fulfilled the purpose of the law through his works. He was the ultimate sacrifice and our salvation is not dependent on our works but our faith in Christ. Christ fulfilled the law.

I understand why this can be confusing and I respect the fact that you asked about the meaning. I appreciate your curiosity and goals to understand. Thank you for the conversation Octavia.

Matthew 5:17
"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose."

"...you can pick and choose..."
Listen to the last five minutes of this talk and if you are intellectually honest at all you will never use that "pick and choose" arguement again.
