God ordained the death penalty in the OT. God does not change His mind Num 23:19. Jesus is God Isa 9:6. Jesus never disapproved of the death penalty. You are misreading. As explained in this thread:
Are Christians to judge others?
Seems to me that God does change his mind, or rather Christ "fulfils" the Law, which in some cases reverses previous teachings, heres Matthew 5 vs 21 -48
Murder
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote a">a</a>] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote b">b</a>][<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote c">c</a>] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote d">d</a>] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote e">e</a>] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote f">f</a>] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote g">g</a>]
Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote h">h</a>] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[<a href="
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 5:21-48 - New International Version" title="See footnote i">i</a>] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
The green is true, the red is your inserted assumption. Please don't do that. That is lying about someone. Very un-Christian. Charlie was for justice.
No the "Red isnt my inserted assumption", check out the above video at 5:15 where Charlie Kirk says "The death penalty takes too long, too many appeals", before you make assumptions about what ive said please check your facts, very un-Christian like, please dont do that.
Yes, I agree with that too. It's for the same reason God selected a graphic and violent public death by stoning in the OT.
but what did Christ say about these "violent public deaths by stoning" heres John 8 vs 1-11
8
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2;At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3;The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4;and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5;In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6;They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. ;7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8;Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9;At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10;Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11;“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Do you consider yourself so free of sin that you can cast the first stone?.
Chat GPT says you are ignoring important caveats and context. Please post the exact videos you are referring to.
Again, God ordained a public, graphic and violent death by stoning for all mortal sinners. Jesus is God. So, no, WWJD does not negate public execution. You have a false picture of Jesus in your mind.
What Jesus pushed for in Matt 7 and John 8 per the thread I linked was a better justice system. If the adulterer mentioned in John 8 did not 'go and sin no more' would Jesus have stopped the stoning on the next day? I think not.
No you've got it completely wrong, Christs emphasis was not on the actions of the sinner, it was on those who thought themselves so righteous and free of sin that they could condemn another sinner to judgement and death, and Christ knew she would sin again, we all do, every day, so you have a false picture of Christ in your mind, none of us are in a position to be judge and executioner of another, no matter how great their sin, for with "what Judgement you mete out, so shall it be meted out to you".
Heres the video, the relevant part is 26:40- 45:23, so tell me what you think the "context" is?.
