1 | Two, Three, or Forensic Evidence | Deut 17:6 | Lionstrong | 64753 | ||
Deuteronomy 17:6 "On the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness. Should a man be put to death on circumstantial evidence alone, no matter how compelling? Is one eyewitness and compelling circumstantial evidence enough? Has modern science (i.e. fingerprints, DNA, "expert" testimony, etc.) replaced God's instruction? Matt 18:16 "But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED. 2 Cor 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES. 1 Tim 5:19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses. If in the Church court we require two or three witnesses even in our non-capital offences, it seems to me that in civil court we would demand it. Peace, |

Civil court (the world) has not followed God's plan very much ... we cannot force them. | ||||||
3 | Two, Three of Forensic Evidence | Deut 17:6 | Lionstrong | 64973 | ||
Thanks Searcher, But that really does not answer the question. Shouldn't this standard also be the standard of the civil courts? |

Hi, Lionstrong; It should be the standard if we be ruled by Judges or a King of God's choosing. Of course, we would have to throw out our legislatures too. :-) IOW, I don't think the political and judicial forms instituted by God for his chosen people prior to the advent of Jesus are commanded for civil government today. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Hi Steve, Apparently you did not notice the NT quotes. So,the standard is still the same after the advent of Christ (if one's dispensational views causes them to disregard God's standards in the OT). So the question remains, Shouldn't this standard also be the standard of the civil courts? Peace, |
