"If we as Christians truly believe in God's Omnimpotence, then how can we not allow Him to be the final arbiter of a man's earthly existence."

He is. And He instituted the death penalty. Life for life.

Of course, we as individuals aren't to carry that out. We are to turn the other cheek. But government has a different role than the individual

How odd it was for Christ to have ordered individual Christians to turn the other cheek but then to allow those very same Christians to do the exact opposite when they act as agents of the state. I understand this odd distinction comes from Thomas Aquinas, but he was wrong on other life-issues as well.
