A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio wants to make homosexual behavior a capital crime punishable by the death penalty.
Merrill Keiser Jr. is a trucker with no political experience, but he hopes to beat fellow Democrat Rep. Sherrod Brown in the May primary. The winner will try to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Mike DeWine, assuming he wins the GOP primary.
"Just like we have laws against murder, we have laws against stealing, we have laws against taking drugs – we should have laws against immoral conduct," Keiser told WTOL-TV in Toledo.
Keiser, 61, says he's running as a Democrat because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.
The trucker, who hails from Fremont, Ohio, says there needs to be more adherence to biblical values in government, business and education – something he claims DeWine is not promoting.
"I believe that the United States has been moved in a Godless direction by the courts," he told the Sandusky Register. "To get good men on the court, we need good senators."
Some of Keiser's other positions include defense of the Second Amendment, securing U.S. borders, lower taxes to stimulate the economy, support of Israel and prayer in public schools.
Keiser told the Register the United States should make conversion to Christianity part of the war on terror to teach Muslims the error of their choice in religion.
The candidate also decries evolution, saying it is contrary to the Declaration of Independence.
I was going to ask this question of *the Fan* but instead I will make the post to you. Just what part of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" do these Bible-thumpers not understand? Nothing more annoying than those who use the Scripture to their own end, be they sinners or holier-than-thou's.
Coulter Fan: "They are worthy of death, yes."
Actually, I find both ideas repulsive.
The only reason it is considered "lunacy," is because the marketing of evil and the selling of corruption has degenerated to such an all time low that homosexuals are being ordained by "christian churches," the homosexual bishop in New Jersey went as far as to suggest Christ was a sodomite, and there was a play in Boston depicting Christ as a queer. That's lunacy!
I'm kinda chuckling here and I think a few people who know me on this forum would be too after reading your post. The gap between me and an advocate of homosexuality is about the size of the Pacific Ocean.
I did challenge the wingnut who says we should kill disobedient children (then says words don't mean what most people understand them to mean) when he used an ancient, largely discarded biblical text to censure homosexuality. If one part of the text (or in the case of Leviticus, as you explained so well, much of it) has been overturned by Christ, or discarded almost universally by Christian churchs (don't wear wool with cotton), then what are we to know of what still stands and what doesn't?
The answer to my question is pretty much whatever your priests, minister, etc., says, so there is going to be disagreement among the various branches of Christianity.
Having grown up in the church founded by Jesus, I know this answer. It's always interesting, though, to see what the deranged have to say.
You are not among the deranged. That was a really interesting post.
This is my problem with you - I've tried explaining that the Law of Moses was suggesting that any child that backtalks or is naughty should be executed - I posted a reply twice explaining it. So, for you to claim I advocate cruelty toward children is just outright false, indeed deceitful, and I would place you in the company of the father of lies - Satan. As for the boy in Richmond, whatever that discussion was about, you had it with someone else and you throw that out as if to misrepresent me as being in the company of a person I don't know about a discussion I didn't have - do you have no shame? I know what the slur "wingnut" means, but I consider you to be the wicked one in this insatnce, not I!
A Fred Phelps kind of guy. I wonder if he's an inlaw or something.
You speak of love, undefined, and abstractly, without any semblance of how the unrighteous are going to abandon their ways. It is common to for people to throw the words Christ and love together, but sadly it is done so without a clear understanding of the Bible, not just a few select parts, and usually in the defense of something that is detestable to God.
You don't understand, because Moses, the gave us God's law and he require a penalty of death for sodomites and he said there blood was upon their head.
"The point is, only God is to judge. "
The Bible command us repeatedly to judge righteously - not hypocritically. The "Judge not" is part of the false doctrine of apostate church's like Rick Warren's Saddleback church.
I did give him credit, but people keep claiming I don't answer them and force me to have to repeat posts.
I guess I'm not getting accross. Let me try again.
No one here wants to go out and kill homosexuals! You are taking Coulter Fan out of context. The discussion is... IS IT A CAPITAL OFFENSE TO GOD? And IF it is then God requires THE STATE to be the sword for God's judgment.
No one here is saying we should go out and kill homosexuals. To say that is simply not being honest with the topic at hand. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but let's put that to rest.
As believers in Christ Jesus we are to proclaim the gospel to all people, homosexuals included. However, the state has specific requirements set by God and they are instructed to carry those out. This is why we go into prisons and proclaim the truth to the prisoners, all the while not advocating their release. Even for those on death row. You pray for their soul, tell the Good News to them, but do not advocate their penalty be thrown out.
By the way, in post 60, I posted a link to the commentary. In post 70, I named Rev. William Einwechter, and perhaps you need to read the full thread before you play the "gotcha" game, because you'll lose every time with me.
See post 154
Chance are, many children who viciously curse their parents are also into antisocial behaviors, drugs, sexual license or homosexuality,crime, and wrathful violence.(or are core constituents of the left wing of the Democrats).
Seriously, children who will not respond to the discipline of their parents, probably will also be a societal head-ache as well. When Moses was in the wilderness, and the survival of the nation of Israel as an intact entity was in doubt, discipline was important to maintain. They couldn't afford to make moral and spiritual mistakes as God in those days would act swiftly to punish national trangressions as well as having to maintain vigilance in the face of ever present danger of attacks from hostile nations. A child who would not respond to discipline of his parents could very well effect the well being of his fellow tribe members well beyond his own family.
A child that is nasty to his parents is a good indication that he will be a PIA to society as well. That such a child could be put to death under the Mosaic code was an attempt to nip future sources of societal strife in the bud!
There it is ....brutal though it sounds, but logical!
It either means "yes" or "no" and I don't think it's fair or worthy of the topic to be given an answer that says "yes" and means "no." So which is it?
One more time - do you advocate the death penalty for homosexual conduct or not? A straight answer, please?
Must I repeat that Moses, in the LAW, said they are to be put to death, must I point out there severity of the sin through the destruction of Sodom, and must I quote the Apostle Paul a third time about how such sinners are worthy of death? Would you then say that we must ban the Bible and Christianity? As for saying I should be reported, I cite Matthew 5:10-12, and I don't believe your serious at all about the faith.
