Guest Eremite Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) [quote name='Norseman82' date='Mar 11 2005, 12:22 PM'] With this post you just undid your credibility from the previous good analysis you did. Of course they didn't fear Saul of Tarsus....because when the church was founded in Corinth in Acts 18, Paul had already been "knocked off his horse" and converted, duh...in fact, was it not Paul who introduced Christianity to Corinth??? Instead of resorting to pre-packaged standardized emotional responses designed to lay guilt trips on the unsuspecting, please get your facts straight. [/quote] What does Paul being converted have to do with him being a murderer? According to the sentiments expressed on this thread, Paul had "forefeited" his life. God made a mistake with Paul. He should have killed him, not converted him. Indeed, the Corinthians themselves should have killed Paul and "arranged the meeting." And who's laying a guilt trip? I stated a fact. If that fact makes someone feel guilty, it indicates more about them than it does about the fact itself. Edited March 11, 2005 by Eremite

I was responding to your post about the Corinthian's FEAR and the illogic of them having to fear being persecution from him for their Christianity since it was Paul who founded Christianity there in the first place (according to my NAB heading), not the forfeiting of one's life. Again, please check your facts first. I really don't think you're thinking before posting. This is the second post today I've caught you on.
Guest Eremite Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) [text deleted]. I think I'll let this thread sail away. We've said all we have to say. I don't want to devolve into tit for tat polemics. God bless. Edited March 11, 2005 by Eremite
Winchester Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 The old reformed thing sure worked great with John Evander Couey, didn't it? Sorry, but as the father of a little girl, I'm still angry at any system or bleeding heart idiot who thinks we should let pedophiles out of prison after some supposed "refoming." This is venting.
toledo_jesus Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 There needs to be a line for juvenile crime. No matter what the crime is, there needs to be a cutoff or we will rationalize execution of children one day. Rapists and pedophiles need to be separated from the population at large. I believe that prison should be a terrible experience, and that prisoners should be stripped of most of their rights. Basically, life in prison should smell of elderberries, and be short anyway. Let them destroy themselves if they want. just make sure they are adults.
