" if Jesus is the Prince of Peace and forgiveness, why does Bush support the death penalty?"
Jesus may very well be the "Prince of Peace and Forgiveness", but he is not the "Prince of No Consequenses for Your Actions."
probably because bush doesn’t follow the bible like most christians do.. im sure that if you ask, the majority of true christians will disagree with the death penalty.
and consequenses are just a small way to teach us that what we are doing, is wrong.
