Bible Question:
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, |
Bible Answer: Civil court (the world) has not followed God's plan very much ... we cannot force them. |
