What about his own emails to his lover? Do you think those are fake and planted?

Lot of clueless responses here. She's not saying she doesn't believe in the death penalty, only that she's doesn't think that she is the one to decide. That is the purview of government authorities. As a Christian, what she says is perfectly biblical.

John 19:10-11:
10 Pilate therefore said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above...”

Romans 13:1-9:
13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due."

1 Peter 2:13-17:
13 Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right. 15 For it is God’s will that by doing right you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16 Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God. 17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor."

I haven’t come to any solid conclusion yet. I’m waiting to see if the many anomalies in this case can reasonably be explained.

If I dont miss my guess, Erika is looking at this from a fully Christian perspective. For her to advocate or tacitly approve of a penalty would, in her mind (and many other Chritains), put this on her “ledger” before God.

If the shooter has a mormon background he will probably be shot. mormon rules allows a murderer who is mormon to have his blood shed.
Guilty today, shot in 30 years.

Oh I think Erika might know more than she’s letting on.

She has forgiven him, in accordance with the scriptures. Now he must render unto Caesar. If he sincerely repents and asks, Jesus will forgive him too.

Shocking how many on this ste have accepted the Fed’s narrative without question.
Disappointing since there are so many outstanding, strange issues surrounding CK’s death.

Capital punishment was part of the everlasting covenant God made with Noah and Noah’s progeny. Not keeping capital punishment is part of the reason the Tribulation (significant destruction of the earth) is coming.

“‘I do not want this man’s blood on my ledger’”

Me neither, since he didn’t kill Charlie. He was a patsy. He is the latest Oswald.

Thank you. I was going to say basically the same thing. God will be his final Judge.
