If I understood this "answer" correctly (technically, it's a non-answer), then Zaac is volunteering to keep the unrepentent murderers in his home.

One thing I'd really, really like to hear from PNS and Zaac: So what do we do with the unrepentent murderers? Lock them away for life? Making them a burden upon the society to which they are a threat? How is that Christ-like? Do we make them work? Because scripture says if we don't work...

One thing we need to understand: the continued comparison to abortion is invalid. The death penalty and subsequent execution is the result of an action performed by the accused; a trial where evidence and counter-arguments are presented; and a decision made by a jury and/or judge--all...

I'm surprised someone hasn't already posted this one. And to be fair, also in the article:

Specific scriptural references, please. Paul calls what specifically a ministry of death? And I think what you're calling Jesus addressing crime was most likely the adulteress; and thus, you're using that WAY out of context.

Out of context yourself. You speak of spiritual things; the things discussed here are of the physical world. We do not judge the spiritual condition, but the physical actions and the need to protect society from further physical harm. You've been given scripture, but reject it, stating it is...

Does matter. You're saying that Christians should forgive him because Christ paid the price for his sins; but that price only works if he gains heaven. That forgiveness only extends to those who believe. Now consider: You're espousing that we should be Christ-like; but on judgment day, how many...

Was Joseph Rudolph Wood III saved?

No; it's been that way even in the times of the Bible.

Do we love the convicted murderer more than we love others?

Zaac - first, you're incorrect about not judging those outside the church. What scripture tells us to not judge the world? Every time you post something about watching sinful TV shows, you're showing that you've judged something outside the church. Every time you make a comment about Romney...

So where I see you miscommunicating is that you're speaking of attitudes; whereas the rest are speaking of absolutes.

Then why did He write to us that rulers are "the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil"?

Not true. If anything, it's matching the world, using worldly tactics and becoming like the world under the guise of "attracting the lost." I'll use "Purpose-driven Church" as my example: Using management lessons that can be found in any freshman-level organizational behavior textbook puts...

ERROR. Why are you mixing secular law with spiritual law? Are you saying we should have a theocracy?

A little more detail, Gina: when you say "handling lots of heavy photos", what do you mean? Do you do a lot of photo editing? Or just keep a lot of photos on the computer?

??? Politics ain't the church, so why are you expecting politicians to act like Christians?

Zaac -- I gotta say, I'm quite surprised at you. You misused scripture not once, but twice. Improper application of the adulteress; she was guilty of adultery, but she was also being used by the pharisees. After defusing the trap laid for Him, Jesus then told her "go and sin no more." Second...

Did Jesus condemn the hanging of the thieves on each side of Him?

As for Dave's attitude: Let us not forget that, like Rush, Sean, and so many others, Dave is an "entertainment" entity first, in order to get listeners and stay on the radio.
