Ken, you asked about Moses. The Lord didn't put him to death. Moses was in Egypt. The Egyptians weren't under any obligation to put him to death or not. Furthermore, the Law of Moses wasn't given while Moses was in Egypt. Moses not being put to death fails as a valid argument in your favor.
David? You ask about David. Why didn't the Lord have him put to death? How do you know he committed adultery and murder? Guilty of both. Okay. There were no witnesses to his crime. The Lord who knows all things said there has to be two witnesses in order for the death penalty to be carried out. Don't you see that?
Paul? Who would put him to death? The Sanhedrin? For crying out loud. They are the ones who were wanting Paul to imprison and vote against Christians. They wanted Paul to succeed. Who would put him to death?
Stephen? Who would his murderers to death? The ones stoning him were the religious leaders. They thought he was blaspheming God, so they stoned him to death.
Everything Jesus said to the Jews applies to us? In what sense. He commanded them to wash feet. Are you a foot washer. It's okay if you are, but you miss the point. Did Jesus tell the Jews to pay the temple tax? Do you? Send it to Jerusalem. They need the money to build a new temple. Do you keep the Sabbath? Amazing. I am not a Jew. I don't follow the Law of Moses. Okay. I am a Christian.
I see the problem. You believe we are to obey the Old Law. I don't.
And you misapply terms such as love, mercy, forgiveness.
You are inconsistent. "Forgive the murderer. Release him from the DP. But not from life in prison." Absurd. But that's because you misapply forgiveness.
Concerning Genesis 9:6, question: What's the principle there? It's real simple. I mean no insult when I say that. Just copy and paste part of the verse. What's the principle in Genesis 9:6?
Now you are saying
Genesis 9:6 does not apply to Moses even though it came before him, but we should apply it today.
See how that makes no sense ?????
You try to explain it away for Moses but you want to stick on others of today, and again God can put it into anybody's heart to put another to death. It does not matter if it is unbelieving Egyptians as the man of sin is used by God to destroy Babylon in
Revelation 17:17.
Again trying to explain away in the case of David, as would not God and the Lord not be witnesses to the breaking of His own law ??? Yes but instead of putting David to death God took the life of there first born child for the punishment.
As for Saul(Paul) what about the other the other Apostles, just because the Sanhedrin wanted him to do it makes it no less murder.
Again the same as Paul, it makes it no less murder just because of who issues it out.
In what ever sense of what He said in the gospel books, and yes I have partook in the washing of others feet and no I do not miss the point of what it is for, and the taxes was not just in response to the temple tax it was taxes in general and yes I pay taxes.
Yes I do keep the Sabbath by the way the NT shows to observe it, because the NT standard is not against working on it to survive and support one's family.
I never said we have to obey the old law !!!
You are trying to twist my words and say things I never said, and I am done talking to you if you can not stop and refrain from doing so !!!
