No true Christian can support the death penalty

However, my arguments stand undefeated. First let me deal with the what is murder question. My opponent says “Murder is not as you defined. Murder is commonly defined as unlawfully killing someone” my opponent uses unlawfully I used deliberately. If this is important please explain further, I would think the killing part is more important as killing actually refers to the death of someone. As such I am not sure what my opponent means when he says “Killing, can be defined as you said[5] however and to murder is not to kill. The former is unlawful, the latter is lawful and is where war serves under, and this is where the justification of the death penalty starts to be pieced together. ” This is killing and killing is murder. I think I am not understanding your point, but as it stands it is exactly what I was saying in round 2. In fact as it stands it supports my position as you contradict your self by saying “to murder is not to kill” but "Murder is commonly defined as unlawfully killing". Killing after all is the progressive form of kill. (1) To the voters; please realize I am not playing semantics here. As it stands, either my opponent agrees with my argument or he has made a massive error. This also why I intend to disregard my opponent comments on Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder” as he he says it talks about murder but not killing. However, as I have shown above killing is in fact the same thing as murder. Let me now dive into the other arguments made by my opponent, with which I can rebut his entire argument. Firstly my opponent says God is perfect “as we are focusing on the perspective of the Christian, God must be perfect. ” This is only true in my opponents opinion about Christianity. However, this statement is wrong, and as I will show below the Bible demonstrates this. Then later in the arguments my opponent says God is equal to Jesus. “Now, all of them are the same, for Jesus=God who wrote the Bible. ” I have not contention with this. However, I do have a problem with the first statement about infallibility. If this is true my opponent arguments hold, however this is demonstrably false. At this point lets return to my example of Jesus not casting the first stone. If we follow my opponents logic we see that we do not reach the same conclusion that God is perfect if Jesus is equal to God. Jesus would not cast the stone. However, if Jesus is equal to God then he would have followed the laws of the old testament. As God is Jesus then God made a mistake and my opponents arguments is defeated. This proves the premise that God is flawed, if God is Jesus. Importantly, as I said before, I agree with my opponent that God and Jesus are the same entity. However, I make a distinction between God and Jesus in so much that, yes they are the same entity but at different times. Old Testament God versus New Testament God (call this God Jesus). As my arguments do not require an infallible God my contentions hold. This means that No True Christian would support the death penalty as explained in round 2. An additional point I would like to bring up. When my opponent says “So either God is at fault, or Jesus is, which both cannot be so. Therefore we do not even need an explanation to say that this argument is not valid. ” This argument is very valid, as we know a Christian is someone that adheres first to Christs teachings. As Christs teachings are what is contained in the new testament, we should adhere to these. And as I have pointed out above, God can make mistakes viz. Jesus did not cast the first stone and in fact cast no stones. May I add here that the idea of a fallible God is not weird in any sense as can be seen in Acts 13:39 “Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. ”(2) and Mark 3:29 “but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin. ”(3) Its very clear that God is saying two different things here through the messengers and Jesus/God himself. As such my point that God is fallible stands and my arguments hold. This fallibility is further evident when we consider that God changed his mind. If you are perfect you have no reason to change your mind. However, Numbers 23:19 “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? ”(4) and Exodus 32:14 “So the LORD changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had threatened to bring on his people. ”(5) reveal a God that contradicts himself and did change his mind. These versus again show that God is clearly fallible. In this round I have shown that my arguments are not flawed as God is in fact fallible. This supports my round two argument which as such remain unchallenged despite my opponents best efforts. Additionally, I have shown my opponents argument to be flawed as they are not biblically sound in that they rely on the Old Testament and not the teachings of Jesus given in the New Testament. I now hand the debate back to my opponent. (1) . http://www.verbix.com... (2) . http://biblehub.com... (3) . http://biblehub.com... (4) . http://biblehub.com... (5) . http://biblehub.com...
