And even yet, this (as any politically driven thing) can be discretionary in how it is applied, and the Lord does not necessarily frown upon this.
This isn’t a new idea; it’s as old as King David.
One limitation that governments among men frequently encounter is that they cannot see the futures of past evildoers.
God occasionally broke this mold even in the Old Testament. King David did not get put to death — though he was chastised — for the murderous scheme he unleashed upon Uriah to cover up his own sexual shenanigans, an evil twofer if there ever was one.
And no it wasn’t the blood of the child who died — this is not what the law said.
The blood that was shed on David’s behalf had been given to David as a gift — in advance from the foundation of the world — by Jesus in His infallible foresight. So the letter of the law had been met.
Yes, this makes Christianity look like cheating. But it is only cheating by the world’s law, which at best can only be a crude, flawed picture of heaven’s law.
Allowing Jesus’ blood to apply where it is obvious that it has, is the very BEST move that even an otherwise worldly government can recognize.
