Bro Ben
I did not intend any smiley's . We need to understand that if the
govermental
system executes a person it is right . It is also sanctioned and backed
by God.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with murder. The scriptures are very
plain on this.
God's solution has always been abstinence but stricked laws have a way of
promoting abstinence. Places like Singapore have proven this over and
over.
I worked at a reform school for one year and could curl your hair with
stories that
could not be printed on h-f. I also drove a school bus for one year last
year. and the majority of the children on the bus needed to be in the
reform school more than the convicted students,. Things that happened on
the bus definitly could not be repeated.
I do want to make it clear that the church should offer love and
salvation . But it is not the judicial system. I don't believe in jails
or prisons. It is my money and your's that keep them open.
