Pray for the end to all death penalty sentencing. It’s just not our job.
And yet because of it you have access to eternal life.
Take your argument up with Him if you like but don't expect Him to be impressed,
Pray for the end to all death penalty sentencing. It’s just not our job.
Yes, it is.
Willie Green?
It’s the State’s job. And they did it.
Sure it is. Some people just need killing.
Yes it is! Those who have committed murder by taking an innocent life need to be accountable to society for their unlawful deeds. It's "justice" by a society you liberals wouldn't understand.
In Texas, you kill us, we kill you back. It's our culture and heritage. We can't help it. Some people just need killing. Another thing you liberals do not understand.
On a scriptural point, it's a society thing, not an "eye for an eye" vengeance taken by an individual. Do you know the difference between society and individual responsibility? Ever hear of stoning someone? If we hit them in head with a rock would you feel better.
Look at this way, it also cleans up the gene pool. Now do you understand? Good, I thought so.
Scripture says otherwise.
I will take God as my moral compass over you.
The most recent & most comprehensive study done on the death penalty claimed that executing one murderer saved 10 other people from being murdered. (referenced by Lars Larson, Oregon & national radio host).
Would you explain your reasoning?
Personal squeamishness?
If religious, please enumerate Scriptural references.
Are you opposed to the Death Penalty?
Are you a complete Pacifist, i.e. no defensive war?
Are you opposed to self defense?
If you would answer "No" to the above three questions, if carrying out the Death Penalty is "not our job" then whose job is it?
“Pray for the end to all death penalty sentencing. It’s just not our job.”
Actually it is our job. Failing to use it where it’s warranted is immoral.

I would rather pray for an end to inhuman monsters that are so dangerous that there is no rational solution for them other than execution.
Life sentences? Hah. No prison is escape-proof. Some people are so dangerous that the very possibility that they might escape and kill again is too much risk for the innocent community - and therefore they must be put down.
Also, I suggest you check your Bible.
Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in His image. – Genesis 9:6
Only if you personally take responsibility for watching over, housing, and feeding the pathologically dangerous.
They get to live in your house, with you.
I take it you are “Willie Green” from days past here on FR. The perp got what he deserved, BTW.
