Devout christians have no problem with the death
penalty provided their beliefs are based on scripture.
The Lord gives many laws punishable by death.
Jesus never interfered in a formal execution,
nor did He speak specifically to it.
The only execution He stopped was the attempt
by the elders to railroad a prostitute that they
all had knowledge of. No suprise to anyone familiar
with scriptures. One of Jesus physical ancestors
was the prostitute rescued from Jericho.
But I digress.....
The christians pj speaks of are the self guided
i.e. lost/corrupt. God says killing murderers,
degenerates, certain thieves, and rapists
is not only permissable, it is encouraged.
It is written that the blood of the guilty
will not be on the head of their executioner.
But the blood of the innocents shall not
go unavenged.
Before you were in the womb I knew you.
Better a millstone be fixed to your neck
and to be thrown into the sea
Than to corrupt, hurt, or lead astray my little ones
and stand before Me on your Day of Judgement.
Woe to those who call the good evil, and the evil good.
Killing murderers and degenerates= good
Murdering unborn infants= evil
this is not open for debate
the matter is settled
God is not on my side.
I am on His side........well I try this fornication
thing could be the end of me. David and Bathsheba
tells you He does have some leniancy in this dept.
