re: #277 William Lewis

The word you’re looking for is “hyperbole”.

Jesus didn’t use “hyperbole.” He used “slay.”

It says what it says. And there are a massive number of people over two thousand years, right up to the present day, that have taken that command by the person who they belive is God Himself, and executed that command in his name.

Until I see a mainstream Protestant governing body or the official position of the Catholic Church become “those churches do not speak for us, they are not what we believe,” you’ll have to forgive me if I view silence as assent.

It was an overwhelming group of Christians who voted for Roy Moore. It was Christians who voted for Donald Trump.

While it is not the place of a church body to involve themselves in politics, they are fully in their right to call out other church bodies and say “they don’t speak for us.”

None do.

Not one.
