ONLY Satan's children vote to kill people! God's people vote for mercy. There are ZERO valid reasons to kill anyone.
God's words, not mine.
I voted for the death penalty. Are you calling me Satan's child?

If I killed somebody, I'd deserve to be executed.
I would vote for hydromorphone/midazolam lethal injection. If I was to be executed, I'd see this as mercy.
The intent of the death penalty is to deter, not get revenge. If a loved one is murdered, the Christian is called upon to forgive.
Zero reason? Threaten my loved ones and you may die.

Correct, For The Glory of God, for the Individual... = Rom 13:8:
"Owe no man any thing, but to LOVE one another:
for he that LOVETH another hath fulfilled the law."​

...but Incorrect, for God And His ORDAINED higher powers, for HIS Glory:

"Let every (individual) soul be subject unto the higher powers. For
there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God:
and they that resist Shall Receive to themselves damnation.

For RULERS Are not A TERROR to good works, but TO THE EVIL.

Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good,
and thou shalt have praise of the same: 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
(punish/death penalty) upon him that doeth evil.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are
God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render
therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom
to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."
(Rom_13:1-7) The "doctrine we have learned" *
You may Now "take your argument up With (resist?) THE HIGHEST Power!"

*
We will pray for you, are done, placed on ignore, As Per HIM!! (Romans 16:17)

Voting to kill people for their sins is murder.
It is not murder. If it were murder people would be arrested and put in Jail.
Are you "Are you in prison right now? Are you facing the death penalty yourself? Do you need prayer or counseling?"
I asked you first because you have an unusual obsession with the subject.

Which world do you live in? Murderers roam the streets all the time.

Yes, I am obsessed with being merciful! Let them live! Don't murder them.

This might change for you, if YOU are ever faced with the horror of someone else harming a close member of your family !

I too pray God would reveal himself unto them while they wait for execution. I also pray his mercy for the condemned who showed NO,ZERO NADA mercy to his victims.
May God Grant the families comfort and forgiveness.

Some sayings are absurd in post bc ppl lack understanding,but to each his own.

Im outta here........

I think it is wrong to withhold proportionate justice for all just because we are Christian and want mercy. Because not many would want mercy for the murderers of their own family members. If you want to forgive and be forgiven by God that is one's own choice.

Yet there are also the costs to consider, as it is more expensive to execute someone than to keep them imprisoned.

Only Satan's children vote to kill people for their sins! They will not receive mercy on Judgment Day! Jesus said so.

James 2:13 (NKJV)
13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

King James Bible
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.
Romans 13:4

You're starting to sound like a child of Satan to me...and a broken record!
Do you ever stop to think that you may upset some people with your tone?

Did God forgive your sins? Judgment Day is a very bad Day to find out. Why do you want to kill people?
You only want mercy for one side of the situation. Like I said before, if I were you, I'd pay attention to my own sin. You are purposely ignoring God's word, so I am now purposely ignoring you.

It's not murder. As I said before, God instituted the death penalty. If we don't comply, we are being disobedient to God. Do you understand?

We all have different prospectives over issues of life and death, to take one verse from scripture can be problematic as it’s only when a matter is seen through the whole of scripture that a true picture can be seen.
I personally would not vote for the death penalty but I certainly wouldn’t call another believer ‘ a child of Satan’ if they did ……..mine , or anyone else’s faith is based on receiving Christ.
This seems to be a common issue on this forum.
Also if a person has strong views against the death penalty it equally doesn’t give the right to others to name call them either……..
This is a discussion, not a court room.
Quit judging one another !!

Address the topic without the accusations towards other members being Satan's children.
There is a weapon that kills and destroys people everyday....more than the death penalty (definition of penalty is to punish for a crime committed)....and that weapon is the words we speak...
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
— Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)
More people are destroyed by words that kill the spirit and hardens the heart towards God.
