My question would be, “what provision does the Bible give for you to conduct an inquiry of my lifestyle or actions? If the Bible says there is some sort of penalty for a lifestyle or action that God himself disapproves of and will deal deal with in his own due time, and I accept such consequences, isn’t that enough?”
”Do you, by taking such an action feel that you are acting on God’s behalf? If I shoot someone for driving drunk, is that justified for me to do in the eyes of the law?
“Would I be thanked or recognized by the secular authorities for taking the law into my own hands, or would they view my actions as criminal and unjustified?”
MAYBE even the most stupid or indoctrinated elder would have to pause to think?
Or not......
