[quote="rerun7378";p="46424"]Vincent,

"It is ironic that you criticize 'bloodshed and vengeance',"  It shouldn't be.  Christ did not preach this.   Christ did, however, preach that God is a holy God and does not treat sin lightly.

"considering the gratuitous violence and retribution for imaginary crimes that are celebrated in the OT and NT."  There is no gratuitous violence and retribution in either the OT or, especially, the NT.  In the OT, the crimes of man were justly punished.  Any wanton ats of violence, even by God's instrument of punishmnt were also condemned.  As for the NT, show me an act of violence by a Christian.[/quote]

Hi Rerun,

Before we get on with this, can you explain to me how to properly use the quote function on this forum so I can make clear what my response is and which part is quoted ?

Thanks in advance,

V.
