Therefore....what? Surely youre not advocating the death penalty for witchcraft.
When the prophet came on the scene and heard the animals, Saul pretended that he spared them in order to do sacrifices to which the prophet did not believe for a moment. Thus for not obeying a direct command to destroy the enemy, he lost his kingship!
So we now jump into today's 21st century culture with its extreme PC culture where every sort of evil is accepted & even promoted, while the Gospel is rejected & suppressed on every front.
Does the command & laws of God change or is it we who are the ones doing the changing in order to sidestep the order? Are we in a era of Grace where the practitioners of evils can be spared from the mandatory death sentence in order to receive salvation through Christ?
Much more than that.
I know it may seem outrageous, but our culture would benefit greatly by returning to the boundaries established by God. We ignore God's law and suffer the consequences. Look around at the state of our culture -- the slaughter of the innocent unborn, the rampant devastation being wrought by sexual deviancy and the wholesale abandonment of truth.
Some will answer back with either that the OT Law was intended only for the Jews and/or that it is no longer operative because of the New Covenant. Paul addresses this error in Romans chapter 3. The NT epistle to the Hebrews explains which provisions of the Law have been fulfilled in Christ and consequently which we are still required to follow. See Hebrews chapter 9.
We find ourselves in the endgame of cultural demise. Romans 1:28-31 accurately describes our present milieu. I see no hope for our culture apart from God. This suggests a path for restoration. The ungodly have invaded government. They need to be deposed and their false legal strictures torn down.
