Here is the major problem, especially an error made by those of the liberal mindset:
Christian values are to be practiced by governments - not by individuals.
The truth is the opposite: Christian values are to be practiced by individuals - BUT NOT BY GOVERNMENTS.
Government’s purpose is clear in Romans 13: to protect its citizens and punish behavior by individuals that is harmful to its society.
Hence governments MUST PUNISH evil behavior - and that includes the death penalty. The government does not have the right to forgive - it must execute justice or it fails in its major reason for existing. Only individuals can forgive - and should.
When government does not execute justice, its society and the individuals in it are harmed and suffer. As in Chicago.
Liberals hate Christianity - because it demands Christian virtues on their part. But they love to apply Christian virtues to government, as it satisfies their deceived consciences in thinking they are thereby virtuous - while they totally refuse any individual requirement that they practice Christian virtues themselves.
Liberals are the ultimate hypocrites.
Blacks are not afraid of the death penalty anymore. My 200 year old “slabery’
As John Wayne said in “The Longest Day”:
“Send ‘em to Hell!”
The Bible clearly supports slavery
Excellent post. You are 100&% correct. Everyone one of these evil men deserve the death penalty.
I stopped reading Christianity Today with its increasingly left wing tilt.
As for capital punishment, I’m on the fence, but really have little sympathy for serial rapists, child molesters, or first degree murderers.
