Hi Guys
The law was placed to control people who control themselves right! Imagine if everyone at their bespoke convictions set up what they deemed was right to protect themselves what it would be like. I am not in detail about the case but I think where people reside you don't set up voltage enough to kill someone, it should be enough to fend of someone but not to kill. It's a thin line that looks rational at first but can evolve into something else if not controlled. I don't think what he put up was endorsed by the laws that brackets him and with what the verse says I rightfully agree with Chief roots -1 and +1 are extremes but note that a zero is in between Kind regards From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of paida motsi Sent: 07 April 2009 12:26 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Question i totaly agree w u Chief Ru ,i just dnt understand why they are trying the man in court , On 07/04/2009, Rutendo Chabururuka <[email protected]> wrote: Hie there Paida!! Well it's an interesing debate you have started!! Well what I can say is that whilst a thief should justifiably face the full wrath of the law for their action, there is no condemnation for protecting your property from intrusion. However, the fact that the owner of the tree is being tried is contestable, in my opinion because it's like I have a barbed wire ober my property and yu try to skip over it and you rip yourself in the process. Surely I cannot be held liable given my protection. As for the Provers scripture that you quoted, my understanding is that to not despise a thief does not mean that there is no need to arrest. The thief should be apprehended and the law must take its course but yours is to forgive the thief given the motive. I must admit that it's quite difficult to balance and have peace of mind but we have GRACE!!! Those are just my views dunno what the others think..........
