of course he would never once have said the law is wrong .
But notice what he did do . HE who is without sin amongst you let him cast the f irst stone .
JESUS came to shew us the new and living way and to show us
that GOD ALONE is judge and shall execute the sentence of death . Only HE and HE ALONE will do so .
And now a word .
HE dont hold rainbows and honor pride month .
HE dont kiss korans and budda statues and claim all religoins are serving him in different ways .
HE dont support any sin . No not the love of money or any other sin .
SO chongshipei , WHY ARE SO MANY CHURCHES NOW celebrating PRIDE month
and going with the interfaith interreligous dialgoue of anti christ .
The answer . Many have fallen in love with the inclusive god and that god be none other than the devil .
And while it promises them life , and e ven uses JESUS name to do so
IT leads them far away from the TRUE JESUS who could have sav ed them .
Chongshipei , my advice to you and to all who do read this , is that today , right now
IF you or anyone you know is in any shape , is in any way connected to anything that even lips ecuemincalism
GET OUT and take as many with you as you can .
Acts 25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die
Rom 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

The main problem with the death penalty is that the justice system isn’t perfect. In fact it is prone to error, corruption and favouritism.
Those who cannot afford a defence lawyer will almost certainly be convicted even if they are not guilty. The justice system discriminates against the the low and middle classes as they can't afford 100k for a barrister.
So then, some innocent people will be killed under the death penalty, and for what. Vengeance. That's all the death penalty brings. It doesn't bring anything more that imprisonment already brings. It only serves to feed the appetite for blood thirsty revenge.
And besides, punishing a killer by killing them. That's just as bad as the killer.
"You can't kill under any circumstances but we can"
It's very hypocritical.
Protect society, lock up the criminal and let God be the ultimate judge.
That's my opinion anyway. I'm glad my country doesn't partake in this barbaric practice.

Innocent blood is something that cries out to God. And there is little fear over its shedding these days.
As a fellow Aussie, I agree. I am old enough to remember the Lindy Chamberlain court case ... and we know how that turned out.
Here in WA I have seen in my lifetime 3 men exonerated after being found guilty of murder.
I am not opposed to the police or the military killing people if the circumstances require it.

always remember and bear and keep in mind
that the only ones who are and have been exonerated of the sins against them
ARE T HOSE WHOSE FAITH BE IN JESUS THE CHRIST and thus have a new heart within them .
Budda , the allah of islam and any other religoin cannot ex onerate any . T HEY of the darkness not OF GOD at all .
Just a friendly reminder for us all to keep firmly planted in our minds and on our hearts .

Yea the baby and the dingo. That was a famous case. I was just a child when it happened but I remember it all over the media. Now looking into it I see that she was convicted and jailed in 1982 before new evidence was found which made the courts reverse the decision and release her in 1985. WoW, poor woman.
That was disgraceful by the justice system, one must be proven beyond reasonable doubt to be criminally convicted but see what can happen. Imagine they had used the death penalty, geez. And you say you remember 3 more cases just in your state.
That's what I mean. The justice system is prone to error in various ways and should not be given the right to kill people in my opinion.

soon by law and enforced by the AI led digital inclusive system
Peoples will be rounded up , found guilty of even death , stand no trial as pro longed dentention reigns .
And every last one of the merged religions and much of christendom
will beleive its the will of GOD for a safer world for peace . WE ALL BEEN LIED TOO .
What was brought in under the guise of ecumencalism inclusivity
was the tool , was the very love by how they molded the mindsets of all who sat under it .
But i want not a tear one shed for me .
YOU WEEP for that anti christ harlot ecumeinclism intefaith inclusive love train for peace . CAUSE ON JESUS DAY
every last one of them whose hands joined in with its god are gonna wail .
And i dont desire their death , SO I GOTS TO WARN US all
GET OUT of anything ecumeinical that hollers love and unity inclusivity and interfaith . AND DONT YOU EVER LOOK back .
ITS all coming DOWN on JESUS day .

Hello All
My post is anecdotal; y’all decide if it contributes or not to this thread.
In the mid Seventies, while in my mid twenties, I worked as a correction officer in New York. It was in a maximum security prison. The “Maxie” I worked in was Greenhaven. Among its infamous alumni over the years were John Gotti, Joey Gallo, and other mafia sorts. Also, high profile murderers, assorted killers, child torturers, armed robbers, killer-rapists, major drug dealers, cop killers, so on, and so forth. We COs’ (correction officers), accurately called said inmates, the cream of the crap.
Greenhaven is where the electric chair is housed, not used, since the death penalty was abolished years before.
I stated all of the above to say the following. Whether you are pro or con on capital punishment, I would just like to posit a point on economic grounds. In 1977, it cost NY State taxpayers $30,000 per year to house a savage killer in maximum security prison. That was in 1977. Adding inflation, what do you think it costs in 2026 to house a baby killer, or mass murderer?
Charging up the electric chair again would only cost about 2 dollars worth of juice to delete one pillar of the community; just sayin’.

I guess God didn't consider these options when Lucifer decided on an alternative route?

God instituted capital punishment for they who shed human blood in Genesis.
Nothing in all of Scripture has annuled that pronouncement.
We oppose God when we do not execute they who wrongfully shed human blood.
