Part 2:
We want blood. We want revenge. "You took my little girl's life, so now YOU don't deserve to live. The state will now handle this in a very 'humane' way."
Again, my beliefs are based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, so if you are not Christian, or you "read" the Gospels in another way, well, maybe that's why you might not agree.
I feel Jesus came into this world with many "new laws", "new commands"... a new covenant.
He never took a life, yet saved many, including an adultress who by law" should have been stoned to death... Because... IT WAS the law of Moses, after all. He even saved the soul of a "death penalty Monster" who was dying right by his side!! How crazy is that!???
"Let God be God."
IF we blieve in a just and loving God, how can we notthink that He WILL take care of business!? From giving that aborted baby, or murdered innocent victim, a just and glorious afterlife, to dealing with EVERY unrepentant sinner and murderer.
But we want to see it. We want to know it FOR SURE.
We want to witness the "monster" die.
"Closure".
Really? Are you sure???
Have you not "become the monster" too now?
and the debate continues...
Peace
