You should hit the books more, and google and the DNC websites a bit less.

You might find this interesting.

Amen.

Evidently, we are to empower the government with the power to spend the money to prosecute and execute citizens, but not to run a food stamp program for the elderly and single parents.

I have been told that the way a person spends their money reveals the kind of person an individual is. The same can be said of a nation.

It's not that I think the death penalty is morally wrong. Government has the right to impose the death penalty. However, for the sake of the few who committed no crime worthy of death, I don't support the death penalty as it stands in our current justice system.

Give me a name of someone who has been wrongfully executed.
And can you give me a link to your facts?

I don't do other people's homework.

But let me guess... you'll profess that the very government that you believe is incapable of running a lemonade stand can adequately try, prosecute, and execute human beings with 100% accuracy. lol

No. As a matter of fact I do not endorse the death penalty.
For the very reasons you list.
However, I believe that it is within the governments rights to sentence someone to death. And by rights, I mean given by God.
And it's not my homework, you are the one that made the claim.

I ask for names of someone wrongfully executed and you give me one which I believe, but it is from 1887!
1887?
Really?
And the other one, his wife said that he confessed to her that he did it before his execution.
Now whether she is believable or not is debatable, but I think that throws that one back to disputed.

1 Cor 6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

And thank God for the Gospel. However, are you saying that government should no longer punish evil? Surely you aren't advocating that government should not prosecute crime?

I haven't read the book you quoted from, but you did say it was liberal propaganda, I believe? So, it is going to paint Christian society in the worst light possible.

The man of lawlessness has been revealed since the Catholic churches inception. Each new Pope is the man of lawlessness.

Don't believe me? Look at what's new at the theatre.

I totally agree just the other day I was sitting there and the Spirit quickened this to me. I wrote my post before I ever read all of the rest of the thread.
