To: I got the rope
You have a twisted version of Christianity swimming around in your little head.

I am with out a doubt that you have the correct version. Some day I may be as good as you are.

Jesus never talked about forgiveness, so it is only proper to seek vengeance against this Judge.

I hope God puts Greers parents in a comma, for they deserve it for raising such a wicked devil child.

Damn you to hell, Judge Greer.

God Bless you for your kindness, Mr. Rope.

The right to kill does not belong to man, it belongs to God as the author of life. Life can be taken, capital punishment imposed, only according to the law of God and under commission from him. Repeatedly the Bible tells us, as for example, in Romans 13:1-6, that officers of the state, civil government officials, are ministers of God. Just as the church represents a ministry of the word, church discipline, the precepts, so the state or civil government represents a ministry, the ministry of justice, the administration of the law and order under God. Just as the officers or ministers of the church must believe in and be faithful to God, or else incur His wrath and judgement, so also must the officers or ministers of the state believe in and be faithful to God, or else incur His wrath or judgement.

Because the officers of the state exercise God’s power, that is, the ministry of justice, with the power and right to take life, they are spoken of by God as “elohim” in Psalm 82, this is, as gods. They are like gods in that they share in God’s authority over human life: to them is delegated the duty of killing men when men violate God’s laws.

When they discharge this duty according to God’s word, their judgement is regarded as “judgements of God.” Deuteronomy 11:17 ...in it’s instructions to civil officers and judges says, “Ye shall not respect persons in judgement; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgement is God’s.” If the judges and officers of civil government fail to keep God’s laws, if they pervert God’s justice, then, according to Psalm 82, although their authority is like the authority of a god, they “shall die like men.” Psalm 82:7.

The Bible is clear that a man proven guilty cannot be the object of pity. As Soloman summarized it, “They that foresake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with the them.” Proverbs 28:4.

Those who are full of pity for the guilty are themselves foresaking the law. Pity for a criminal is a sign of depravity to a Christian.
