Does anyone have a good retort to this comment?

Question

THEY SAID:

Yet if you perpetuate the same hate , killing , mistreatment , and oppression of a person BASED on their color...... aren't you the same as the very thing you claim to hate?

I SAID:vengence is sometimes necessary

THEY SAID:Vengeance is mine saith the Lord

Now what would be a good reply to "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord"?

Can be intellectual, witty etc

I invite you answers

Answer 1

And you will know my name is the lord......When I strike my vengeance upon thee.

Ezekiel........20 something.

Go watch Pulp Fiction

Answer 2

Do unto others as they would do unto you, but do it first.

Answer 3

Not if I get there first.

Answer 4

Vengeance is definitely The Lords. I am afraid you have nothing to substantiate that reply.............. sorry.

Answer 5

but didn't the lord also give man the ability to feel vengeance?

and teach that we must do onto others as we wish them to do onto us, thus hate , killing and mistreatment breads hate, killing and mistreatment irrespective of their colour.

the pulp fiction quote is

"the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the  iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

if it helps at all.

Answer 6

While I do'nt  agree with the argument, a very good reply would be:

" The Lord helps those that help themselves"

Subject to all sorts of interpretations, some down-right contradictory !

Answer 7

Yer ma

Answer 8

the end justifies the means

Answer 9

Someone rapes your child? Do you really want to wait on the Lord?
