Stealing someone not same as killing them though.The question was how does the punishment fit the crime.

God would permitting that in this present age, but will be strictly enforcing His Law when Jesus returns.Brother, you’re not understanding our discussion. Is this worshipping of false gods a private matter, or is it an open and blasphemous promoting of idolatry in society? If it is the latter, then what does the law say?
The Lord does not need any to assist Him.Tell Yahweh that. Maybe he would have given a better law had you been there to counsel him.

God treated and judged Israel though at a higher standard, as they were the chosen and called people's and nation by God to be His covenant people, so He demanded more of them.In same way, if a Christian nation was called to obey God samevway, all judgements would remain the same.I just do not see any nation in history like that save Israel though.No, it isn't, but since God thought the underlying equity punishment was death, we have to wonder why that "fit" the crime. Otherwise, many of God's punishments in the OT weren't equitable.

I do not see in the Bible that God expects under this period in history to have us have same penalties that He gave to Israel to enacts as punishment for sins.So, your desire is for us to hold our society to a lower standard?
Unless one has killed another, scriptures to me under t his Covenant relationship do not seem to automatically mean death penalty is appropriate always.Still haven't answered my question, and I am *not* a theonomist, so running the typical anti-theonomy talking points at me doesn't phase me. What is the *fittingness* of the punishment to the crime?
