no hypocrisy at all.

we are not pro-life. we are pro-innocent-life. one who is blood guilty must pay for the transgression. the only way to protect society from the blood guilty is to forfit their life.

THIS is a defense of the innocent as much as being againt abortion is a defense of the innocent.

Hey Ferd,

BTW, We are all guilty of murder.

I too have a hard time in believing that God would be for murder, that is why he instituted the death penalty after the flood. God is pro-life and He gave a command to put murderers away, does this classify God as a hypocrit?

I believe we all get what we deserve? Do we not reap what we sow?

2. forgive seventy times seven
3. Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
4. follow peace with all men

I promise you we do not all get what we deserve. If that were the case we'd all be in Hell already.

Hey Rev, I do not have a problem with these statements, but this still doesn't answer the question. Do you think God is a hypocrit????????????

Your right, but if we allow the Lord to be our death penalty, that will be the only way we will escape from getting what we deserve.
