Featured Punishment and sin

Our criminal justice system is a joke. We've forgotten what justice looks like so long ago that to advocate for actual justice is to make people think you're some sort of barbarian. It is so bad, in fact, that what we have is not a justice system, its just a system.

Yikes! That would end up as a disaster. As soon as the governing officials understand that they can kill people "for the greater good" then you're 90% of the way toward rebuilding Auschwitz.

Ezekiel 13:19 And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?”​

The is just the flip side of the same coin. As soon as the population figured out that vigilantism was acceptable, all of a sudden anyone could be a target because who could know it when the vigilantly group did or did not kill an innocent person when there was no evidence presented to an impartial judge in a public court?

The bible gives us a complete criminal justice system and it is the only one directly endorsed by the God who is Justice itself. It is comprised of a system of judges who determine innocents or guilt based on reasonable evidence rather than reasonable doubt and who are themselves held responsible for the verdicts handed down in their court.

 

An acquaintance of mine had a knee replaced. She couldn't work or drive for weeks and then as soon as that knee healed up well enough she had the other one replaced and did it all again!
