In fact, I think the information about what you believe is not forthcoming because I don't think you are adept at explaining your views on capital punishment; to me they don't seem to add up. This is why we were discussing it. There is no "slander". There is no "personal attack". There is no "insinuation" - indeed, I think I am rather frank and matter of fact. There is nothing "nefarious". There is nothing that is "defamatory". There is nothing questioning your "honesty and integrity", only your coherence on this matter. I am not being "slimy". Why has yet another sequence of robbie posts come to this?
FMF "The point being, why is robbie being so evasive?"
this is a defamatory and slanderous personal attack, it insinuates that I, me, robbie carrobie , is deliberately withholding information for some kind of nefarious reason.

type of slanderous and defamatory remarks that you make and you really do seem
incapable of refraining from making insinuations against the character of posters.
As far as I am aware the Bible, in the Christian period does not mention capital
punishment for anything but murder, although I could be wrong. This statement is
clear, concise and leaves the reader in no doubt of its proponents position, there is
no need to insinuate that its author is being evasive and calling into question their
honesty and integrity. I have pulled you about this before FMF, yet you seem unable
to make any post without trying to attack the personality behind the post, it really
does seem the total summation of your spirituality.
It has come to this because you make vile insinuations, that is why.

To be honest, robbie, it feels like all the accusations are flowing in my direction here.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI haven't "attacked your personality". I have been tackling you on the content of your posts (and what I deem to be content lacking in some cases). Your "personality" is something that is established by the nature of your posts and your use of words like "slime", "vile", "slander" etc. etc.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI think you are being "evasive" because your ability to explain your stance on the death penalty is weak, inconsistent, and unpersuasive, at least based on the fist you've made of it on this thread. Surely I can express this analysis and opinion without you making all these overwrought personal remarks in the last several posts?

clearly and concisely that to my knowledge the Bible in the Christian period does not
mention capital punishment for anything other than murder and even then, it only does
so indirectly, there are no specific mandates, now do yourself, the forum and me a
favour and take your time to read and assimilate the import of that text.
I will state it once again, in capital letters, so that you will be left in no doubt,
THE BIBLE, IN THE CHRISTIAN EPOCH, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, DOES NOT SPECIFY
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR ANY CRIME OTHER THAN MURDER AND IT DOES SO
INDIRECTLY.
Originally posted by FMFI QUOTED THREE VERSES WHICH MENTIONED THAT THE BIBLE WRITERS CONSIDERED MURDER AS BEING PUNISHABLE BY DEATH, I WILL NOT DO SO AGAIN.
I will try again. And see if you ignore the question again.
What does the bible say about punishing crimes with the death penalty?
and again,
THE BIBLE, IN THE CHRISTIAN EPOCH, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, DOES NOT SPECIFY
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR ANY CRIME OTHER THAN MURDER AND IT DOES SO
INDIRECTLY.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieIf there are "no specific mandates" and the Bible "does not mention capital punishment" directly, then how can it be said that your stance of 'neither opposing or endorsing' capital punishment, but opposing it when it's not for murder be said to be [1] Biblically-based, and [2] consistent with the Biblical instruction [from Paul] to accept the authority of the government?

clear that christens are to be subject to the government authorities, as far as it
depends upon them, it is clear that we are under no duress to comply to practices
which transgress these Biblical principles because our subjection is relative, all
questions that have been answered, with reference, i will not do so again. Stop wasting
my time.
