As much as I have felt the same way, regarding this post, it’s not very Christlike. Although the Bible does say that it would be better for a millstone to be hung around their neck, to them that harm a little one… perhaps that’s a kind a way of saying what is being said above. But another anon here commented that a person who may have that idea and their head, but have not given into it, hopefully they are not beyond the help of the Lord, and can accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and have a new life, just like all of us have done. I wasn’t a great person before I accepted Christ. He has made me whole.
Yeah the post hits wierd on account I've been banned for saying these exact things suggested to us to say.
No, it's not very Christ-like at all.

As a victim of a pedophile, not a big fan of this sort of post. Part of the problem, not the solution.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties. It’s definitely hard to get past that trauma as I myself have had to deal with it. The post just doesn’t sit well with me. But it’s a free country, and we can make comments. Thanks for sharing your situation. I pray that the Lord has healed you from that past.
I wrote a lot more, but I didn't actually feel comfortable leaving it in the board, so I cut back my comment (edited) and just left this. I'll send you the pre-edit version.
But I'd been thinking about the whole topic for a few days; I'm often sorry to see so much vindictive cowboy-like indulgence in vengeance violence talk with regards to people's favorite villains.
I sort of understand it, but it saddens me. It's really immature behavior , and I mean that literally. The issues that we are grappling with, and facing, are of such weight and import, that the blase attitudes are less than helpful; they are based in a sort of fantasy view of the world, and that does not help the situation, actually.
If that refers to physical harm, that is not in Matthew 18:1-7 and Luke 17:1-4. It’s about causes to sin, and it is the same Greek word used in Matthew 18:8, “if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off”.
I also find it interesting that Luke 17:3-4 bring up forgiveness in this context.
