Thanks, Torquil. Thessalonians 2, chapter 3, verses 11 and 12, and 14 and 15. “We hear there are some which walk among you disorderly, not working at all, but are busybodies. . . .such we command and exhort. . .that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.” (If that doesn’t work, try shunning . . .) “Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.”
Haven’t you heard from right-wing pastors? New Testament ideas don’t work in today’s world. Jesus of the Gospels rarely “kicks ass.” Just love thy neighbor and namby-pamby forgiveness.
I don’t remember God saying that. Pretty sure Jesus said nothing of the sort. “Let them starve?” Their children, too?
