So, either you're against Johnson's statement or you wish to live under a theocracy. The guy I posted to wants a theocracy. So you think living by the principles of the Bible or the Koran or the Torah would preclude you from following the Constitution? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-of-the-violent-verses-in-Quran Interesting to know that you'd be just fine with a Speaker of the House living by the Koran. Let's now try it for the Bible: Isaiah 13:9: “Now, the day of the LORD is coming — cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger… (16) Their little ones will be dashed to pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be looted, and their wives will be raped.” 2 Kings 6:28–29 Then he asked her, “What’s with you?” She said, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ (29) So we boiled my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden her son.” "But if ... evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones..." (Deuteronomy 22:20,21) I don't want anyone running the government who uses the Bible or any religious book as his world view. Somewhat ironically, Trump doesn't adhere to anything in the Bible and has said he has never done anything he should repent for. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand the difference between the Old Testament and the New? Nobody does burnt offering sacrifices anymore. Nobody recommends animal sacrifice or blood atonement. The point is moot. The Old Testament stuff ended over 2000 year ago and is irrelevant. Interesting from a historical standpoint, as it is the story of a people preparing for something. But that something occurred, and has been moved on from, with the exception of a very small group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem too intelligent to post stuff like this. All too often when people think about violence in the Bible, they focus on the Old Testament and ignore the New. People tend to imagine that the Prince of Peace rejects violence, and situate Jesus and the God of the New Testament in opposition to the Old Testament God; this kind of oppositional reading is problematic in many ways, not the least in its historic contribution to anti-Semitism, but also ignores what the text itself says. In fact, the New Testament is full of violence and suffering, violence which is condoned by Jesus himself. Even in the Gospels, Jesus demands that eyes be plucked out and hands cut off as a result of sin, and threatens the earth with bloody violence. The Book of Revelation, written in the first or second century CE, is widely read as early Christianity’s rejection of the sinful, violent Roman Empire and the hopeful expectation of justice for true believers. This understanding of the Apocalypse overlooks the rampant violence omnipresent in the text, which depicts sexual violence as a punishment ordained by God. As John Marshall says, “Sexualized violence against women is one of John’s primary modes of depicting God’s judgment.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus never recommended nor endorsed any of that. He merely pointed out, by exaggeration to the people he was talking to, in a manner they would understand, how separating oneself from fellowship with God was worse than the examples he provided. Show me where he ever commanded eyes be plucked out or hands cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurmal34 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I'm so excited to see him put his words in to action! He said his worldview is the Bible, yes? So he is gonna feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and heal sick, just like Jesus! I'm sure his track record will match up to his words by the end of his term, will be fun to analyze his actions vs his words. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Las Vegas, Nevada — Newly-elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) will deliver the keynote address Saturday night at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership conference, which is taking place as war unfolds in Israel. It will be Johnson’s first major address outside Congress since taking the Speaker’s gavel. Johnson will speak alongside House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) at a conference that is already studded with presidential candidates and elected officials. Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the Saturday morning session — as is former Vice President Mike Pence, his running mate-turned-rival. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/10/27/speaker-johnson-to-headline-republican-jewish-coalition-trump-pence-to-share-stage/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised to hear that someone believes the Old Testament is not considered as the word of God by fundamentalist Christians, but not that surprised. Also interesting that we can interpret some of it as moot and some of it as relevant today. You either believe it's all the word of God or it isn't. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
