Deja vu all over again. Isn’t this what helped sink Huck?
What is it about these evangelical governors?
They are biblical ignorant. God said to send back to Him those that commit homicide. He gave NO authority to flesh beings to pass out get out of jail second chances pardons to killers.
“What is it about these evangelical governors?”
They think they were elected God. Of course, none of them run on a platform of “Dispensing forgiveness to murderers and other unsavory characters at the end of my term”
What he doesn’t want to say, but is usually the case with these evangelical characters, is that God told him to do this.
They like playing the role of God.
Some of these evangelical governors think they are god with their pardon power. They seem to forget only God can forgive sin. These 4 pardoned men were cold blooded murderers. The same thing goes for vengence. The Bible teaches that God says “vengence is Mine”. Being a Christian, I definitely believe in forgiving one another but not in pardoning mortal sin against another. That kind of sin can only be pardoned by God Himself. Pardoning sin was the one thing that really bothered the Pharisees in Jesus’ day. They realized He was saying that He was God when He forgave the sins of others.
