Scott Roeder tried to defend his killing of Dr. George Tiller. He claims to have done it as a result of his faith. Is he following Jesus? Or is he whacked out?
Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn't the slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament and all the laws of killing those who don't obey them.
I am sorry, but mental acrobatics is required to not to notice it.
No wonder crazies like Roeder are "correctly" applying the teachings of Jesus and the Bible.
I hope you can see that this thinking was "prevalent" way back and it takes "rationality" and "confronting it" to kick the sh.t out of it.
In his own words - Matthew 5:17
Jesus says that we should fear God who is willing and "able to destroy both soul and body in hell." - Matthew 10:28
Jesus condemns entire cities to dreadful deaths and to the eternal torment of hell because they didn't care for his preaching. Matthew 11:20-24
Jesus will send his angels to gather up "all that offend" and they "shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13:41-42, 50
So, does Jesus think that children who curse their parents should be killed? It sure sounds like it. Matthew 15:4-7
Jesus had no problem with the idea of drowning everyone on earth in the flood. It'll be just like that when he returns. Matthew 24:37

Whacked out. Yup.
