[Charles Henrickson]

The Rev. Jackson does not know his Scriptures very well. God has authorized the state to carry out his justice in the civil realm. And that includes the power to put to death ("the sword"). This is what the Scriptures teach:

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.
--Romans 13:3-4

nice that the guv gets warm fuzzy feelings about convicted killers. too bad the families of their victims dont figure into his pin sized head.

Notice that he also equates the guilty prisoners in IL with an innocent man - Jesus. Like Pilate, Jackson would have let the murderer, Barrabas off the hook for his crimes.

"The Rev. Jackson does not know his Scriptures very well..."

Are you kidding? He couldn't care less about the Scriptures, nor does he want to know them. jackson is a fraud.
