Witchcraft? That shit ain't even real it's just some weird larp some bored broads made up
Broads and gays. I have no idea how anyone sees “witchcraft” as a crime, or even threatening.
Internet witches annoy me so they deserve the helicopter.
That's exactly what feminism is.
Do you think Saudi Arabia outlaws 'witchcraft', 'sorcery' and 'black magic' because their government believes it's real? Of course they don't.
They outlaw that stuff because it's a magnet for people who reject the current order, and worse, it helps these people find eachother and start working together to subvert society. u/auntie_mildred has it right.
Take every twitter account with 'witch', 'witchy', 'wicca', 'druid' or 'pagan' in their bio and you'll have list of political radicals from rainbow haired commie dykes to Varg Vikernes types.
Not to discount genuine, supernatural evil:
I have always believed the provisions against witchcraft are because it is ultimately an attempt to subvert the natural order. Instead of women building homes and communities and ultimately a good culture, it diverts women to hanging out with other rejects that hate the system and want to see it twisted to their own ends. They aren't happy with their lot in our life, so they conspire to make others suffer.
I think a good modern analog for witchcraft would be feminism.
Witchcraft, at least traditionally, usually involves some kind of devil worship, and the belief that the dead can speak, both of which go against Christian teachings.
To be honest, that's one pretty bad take. I find what he says to be quite a contradiction. So he wants you to move past your sin and stop whatever wrong thing you're doing (good) so you can live, but if he finds out what you did, he wants to kill you and stop all your repentance to nothing?
Show me how this is Christian by any mean. Show me where Jesus killed someone for any sin they may have done. Show me why Paul should have been killed, instead of spreading the Word after he saw Jesus' true nature.
I agree. All he is doing is turning people away
Welcome to the end result of the pendulum swinging too far to the left.
Yeah, shit like this is the reason why a lot of people (myself included) have become disenfranchised with organized religion. You have the two-faced preachers like Ted Haggard condemning sin from one corner of his mouth because the other is too busy smoking meth, the opulent megachurches that erect a blazing middle finger to the teachings of their leader, and the prototype for what would become the Social Justice moment.
If they wanted more people to join the flock, the best way would be to live their lives by their teachings and act in a way that would inspire people.
There is an explicit offer of forgiveness in the second part of the tweet. Whether his use of "death penalty" refers to a specific government punishment, or more generally to the "wages of sin" is somewhat ambiguous (it could have been made a bit more clear if he included some "lesser" sins in there like lying/perjury, theft, or covetousness, but I can see why you wouldn't include those on a twitter post.) And if you don't believe that the death penalty is an appropriate punishment, I can find citations from the New Testament that support this as being one of the roles of government.
Irrespective, I find no contradiction between the idea that the proper government penalty for a crime should be death, and that we should offer forgiveness and a second chance to repentant souls.
No it's not, lol
You may never have heard a pastor use the words "death penalty" in reference to the just consequence of sin, but I have (multiple times from multiple pastors.) There is definitely some ambiguity in this usage.

As a Christian I would think that forcing people to our faith has shown to be disastrous. That being said his tweet is no more inflammatory than what you see on the left daily
One thing experience will teach you is, you're either forcing shit on to people or they're forcing it on to you. Sadly, we don't live in the libertarian world where we can coexist with the left. If it was just us? Sure, you do you, and I'll do me. But that's not possible with the left.
At the very least, you need to be vigilante with your beliefs and principles.
I’ve come to that conclusion although I have a bad habit of seeing things how I wish they would be
Here's an example of why the libertarian idea will never work.
https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/bitcoin-couple-face-death-penalty-for-seasteading-off-phuket/
It's a story of a couple that decided they were going to get away from government and society by living on international waters.
Sure enough, that didn't last long, and the Thailand government came, arrested them, and now they face the death penalty (not sure whatever happened to them).
As you can see, there is no escape, they will never leave you alone. Get busy pushing orders onto them or get busy following their orders. There's no in-between.
Man, I fucking hate remakes.
I'm still trying to learn this stuff but killing people for sin goes against the principle of forgiveness. How does Christianity deal with old testament vs Christ and His teachings?
I’ll have to message you directly. I’ve wondered about that too. I’ll give you my thoughts on it.
BTW I do agree with this; it has been a disaster with all the progressive churches and what not.
My belief is: don't force people to be Christians. However, don't let them walk all over Christian principles in a Christian country. Make it so uninhabitable that they will want to leave.
Definitely agree. Progressive Christianity seems to be a church that is willing to conform to the world and just tell you that God loves you and behave however you want
Sometime bratty children need to take their medicine
Idolatry deserves the death penalty? Moron.
What do christians, muslims, and leftists have in common?
They're all authoritarian moral busy-bodies telling other people how to live, and flaunt their identity-politics hypocrisy with reeeing when other people wish death on them, while they wish death on others.
Turn from sin to Inshallah, bigot.
Shutup woman, and make me a sandwich.
- Allah
There must be an Arab equivalent to the sandwich meme.
Maybe go make me a falafel? Or a pita?
Arab's steal everything that aren't tied down. The sandwich meme is now Arab owned. Like most of downtown London.
You do not need to be religious to be against abortion, child sacrifice, murder, incest. Not saying death penalty necessarily but not ruling it out depending on the circumstance.
Bestiality, I just find that to be horrible, wtf is wrong with this people.
Homosexuality is a bit special, is a sin under religion but without religion this are just 2 adults agreeing to live in sin. Without religion they are not hurting anyone but themselves. This does not include trying to groom children in to it, I think that in itself is worthy of punishment. Groomers are evil and forcing people to celebrate perversions against their own moral code is evil as well.
That leaves idolatry and witchcraft. While this are still sins under most religions it has no direct impact without it.
I missed adultery, we would all have been put to death. I wonder if it was ever enforced.
Punishing adultery, as in cheating, is unfortunately still enforced. If the guys is caught cheating the wife will take everything. If she cheats, she takes half.
That is 100% unenforceable, that is one high standard. But I assume it falls under not to do rather then being stoned to death.
Strangely enough, in modern times it is more important to discourage young men from masturbation then it was in ancient times. Easy access to porn is causing young men to have sexual disfunctions and low testosterone.
I wonder what their logic was to try to stop guys from jerking off in ancient times.
There was also the idea that each sperm cell carried a literal 'tiny man'.
Speak for yourself.
Edit: Actually I have committed sexual acts so I'm incorrect about myself
Christianity : putting paywalls in front of basic functions before EA had even been thought of.
Yeah, because tradcucks shill for women.
Your mistake is thinking this is to protect the Jews. The Christian basis for circumcision has nothing to do with Jews, it was to prevent masturbation because that would lower desire to be stuck in a marriage with someone who hates your existence.
