Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
The teaching of this man contradicts the moral character demanded of us in the gospel. Ask yourself, what does the Bible tell us regarding to who doles out punishment for sin. Is it our job to do so? Did the apostles go around socking people that blasphemed or did they rebuke them and pray? I don’t think Jesus meant for you to feed your enemies a knuckle sandwich. This instruction was written with a murderous heart.
Are you really suggesting that God/Jesus demand Christians not punish earthly sins? All sins, or just some of them? Where do you draw the line, and why?
Where is this in the Bible?
Uhhh St. John Chrysostom did not write the Bible..
That does not mean he is not someone you should learn from.

There’s a clear separation between punishment for earthly crime and punishing someone for sins against God.
