I was simply, and only, quoting the explicit words expressed by the Lord Himself concerning any man that would cause a "stumbling-block" (that is what the word "offence" means, you know) to be placed before another, which might cause another of God's chosen people, or many, to place their confidence in that which maketh for a lie (read about the fate of the prophet Hananiah, found recorded in Jeremiah 28, for having committed such a thing). |
This was not directed at you, however I have heard of those who desire the death of those who disagree with them and of some that have even asked God to remove (kill) those who disagree with them.
God knows who is teaching false doctrine and he has warned us to stay away from false teachers, but the desire to kill those who are in error is what led to the many massacres of early Christianity (Christians killing Christians). All in the name of correct (Orthodox) doctrine.
I may disagree with the Trinitarians, Morons, Jehovah's witless and other deluded folks, but I would never once will ask or desire their destruction or even their hurt.
God will remove false teachers in his own time, without any prodding from us.
