Once again, Christian Conservatives show their true colors...

GOP lawmaker calls for Biblical law: Washington state Rep. Matt Shea publishes manifesto calling for the execution of all males who refuse to follow “Biblical law.”

In a disturbing development, Washington state Rep. Matt Shea releases a four-page Christian manifesto titled “Biblical Basis for War.” The document calls for “Biblical law”, and suggests that those men who support gay marriage and a******n rights should be executed.

NBC News reports on the four page manifesto released by Shea:

It’s a radical Christian call to arms, outlining 14 steps for seizing power and what to do afterward in explicit detail. It calls for an end to a******ns, an end to same-sex marriage, and if enemies do not yield and everyone obey biblical law, all males will be k**led.

Vice News reports:

Washington state Rep. Matt Shea admitted Wednesday that he wrote and distributed the four-page document, called the “Biblical Basis for War,” which includes 14 sections on how biblical war can and would unfold. Shea, a Republican who represents Spokane in the state’s House, is up for re-e******n in the midterms next week. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rep. Shea’s Christian manifesto calling for Biblical law states:

If they do not yield – k**l all males.

In an email to The Spokesman-Review newspaper, Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said that he sent the manifesto to the FBI for investigation, noting:

The document Mr. Shea wrote is not a Sunday school project or an academic study. It is a ‘how to’ manual consistent with the ideology and operating philosophy of the Christian Identity/Aryan Nations movement and the Redoubt movement of the 1990s.
The goal of these groups has always been to create a white homeland consisting of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington. The ideas presented in the (biblical war) document are how these groups intend to seize control, by force, should there be a governmental collapse or civil war.

However, Rep. Shea sees nothing wrong with his manifesto calling for Biblical law and the execution of those who oppose it. In a Facebook Live video released earlier this week Shea defended his manifesto while making ridiculous claims that he is being persecuted and that the U.S. is really a Christian nation:

We would do well to implement biblical law. The law of the NEW Testament.

But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together. One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:34-40

Let's do it! Third on the list will be those who have had extra marital sex, then those who had premarital sex, then those who have viewed pornography, then..........................

And who among you who is without sin will cast the first stone?, asks your alleged leader.

mwdegutis Loc: Illinois

Don't be such a self-righteous hypocrite...that includes you.

truthiness

Why am I a hypocrite? You're the one who says one thing (I am a christian) and then doesn't follow the christian leader (Christ). I didn't v**e for k*****g sinners--you did. You know that is antithetical to His teaching. So instead of fessing up (another christian principle), you accuse me of being what you in fact are. Where does your hypocrisy fall in your hierarchy of sins---after porn but before stealing? And what is the punishment, cutting off a hand or two? And by the way, hypo-christian, where in your bible do you find this so called christian-biblical mandate to k**l sinners? And who will be the self-righteous executioner? You, of course, mr perfection no-sin?

mwdegutis Loc: Illinois

WTF are you talking about? I've never called for k*****g sinners or any other of the BS you spout.

woodguru

We would do better to put a serious halt to such talk, more than half the country are not christians, so how do you reconcile a religious minority being able to rule the ones who aren't in agreement with biblical religious concepts?

Christianity taken to this degree is as bad for non christians as Sharia law, just different.

The l*****ts infiltrated the weak minded urban 501c3 churches a long time ago and made it look cool
to collect money for corrupt global luciferian front groups like Unicef and Catholic charities,
where as in rural areas we have our own values and take care of the needs of our own people

mwdegutis Loc: Illinois

You aren't very bright are you? Biblical law isn't even CLOSE to Sharia law.

Biblical law is based on the absolute, not relative, moral precepts of the Ten Commandments and the teaching of Jesus.

truthiness

You are correct. Your post correctly detailed NT doctrine. The post was actually meant for lpnmajor. My mistake.

mwdegutis Loc: Illinois

No harm no foul.

We aren't a theocracy but a secular democratic Republic. Besides, you CC's have a hard enough time living with biblical law. If it's too hard for you to live by you shouldn't expect others to live by it too...

truthiness

Thanks.

But when it comes to politics you don't treat biblical law as if it's absolute. You shrug your shoulders at adultery and when it comes to those with the least you denigrate them, belittle them, and treat them as if they were criminals. Christ healed the sick and cared for the poor and you could give a flip whether they have health care, have a roof over their heads, and can feed their kids. You guys act like the only thing necessary to be a Christian is to call yourself one then you behave the way you have all of your life. Then moan and groan about how mean everyone is to you because you're "Christian" all while you greet anyone who isn't a CC as if they are the greatest evil on earth. You really have no place talking about Sharia Law when you have such an incredibly hard time following the words of Christ. You would do well to take care of your own business and let other's take care of theirs--but you don't even seem to be able to do that...
