Featured Pope: Abolish Death Penalty

Might as well abolish it, this is information on how long it takes... How long did it take in scripture to carry it out?... I would say not long... They didn't have lawyers and an appeals court... Brother Glen

According to the Bureau of Justice and Death Penalty Information Center, the average time from sentencing to execution, was just around 16 years. If no appeals are raised, that process can happen as soon as six months, but that rarely happens. Apr 10, 2017

 

In the case of the repentant murderer, I mean one who comes to Christ, all you death penalty proponents are basically wanting to do is send this person to eternal life in heaven in the presence of the Lord instead of letting them rot in a hellhole of a prison here on earth for the remainder of their natural lives. Have you ever thought about it that way?

 

So you would agree that the Captial punishment was given to Manking apart from the Mosaic law, and so is still binding to us, but has to meet the threshold in order to ahve it implemented?

 

It never has been , as its a specific prohibition against killing mankind, made in very image of God!

 

John 8

1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. 3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, 4they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. 5“Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” 6They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. 7But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. 10Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”]

Caught in the act and with the grounds for Capital punishment.

Should Jesus have thrown a rock instead?

Do you think it would have played out differently if she was a murderer?

 

was her crime the one of murder, as that ws the one laid out by God for us!

 

So you are saying if it was murder Jesus would have stoned her? Say this then.

 

This is basic Christianity folks:

YOU heard its eye for an eye. But Christ says otherwise:

Matthew 5

38“You have heard that it was said, ‘AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.’ 39“But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40“If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. 41“Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.42“Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

43“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ 44“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47“If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
