He dying had nothing to do with the death penalty...his dying had to do
with saving the Gentile from eternal damnation in hell, because before
that, we didn't have a chance either way.

The Bible tells us to render unto Caesar's what is Caesar's, and unto
God what it God's. It also says that governments and the powers that be
are ordained of God. Therefore, if our government decided to use the
death penalty (as is the case in MOST other countries), then they are
only doing what they are supposed to do.

WRONG!!!!  The law is for the lawless. If you break the law, you must
deal with your error according to the law. But if you keep the law of
man, then you are not subject to that law, for only THEN do you have a
new law, that is the law of Christ.

Perhaps, this is a different outlook on the death penalty, but let me =
ask you all, would you be able to push the needle in?  Would you be able =
to sign the death papers?  Would you throw the switch?  I know that I =
would have tought time living with myself having a job like that....
