Failed execution of female murderer

[Ronald Nolette]

Do a little research. Genesis is certainly in the Law of Moses. Again you are EVADING the parts of God's Word you don't like!

You need to research. the law for man executing man was given to Noah- centuries before the Law of Moses was enacted. The Mosaic Law was for Israel alone, while the command given to Noah was for all mankind.

UnGodly US deserves to be murdered, but that's up to God!

So you do not care if a nation invades and murders the innocent civilians fo America. Okay then.

VASIVE! Give Scripture. You ain't got none!

No direct! they all had soldiers the spoke to.

By murdering innocents??? Sending them to Hell?

You support that by refusing to pick up arms against an invading a nation and murdering untold innocents.

Romans 12:19
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

If you studied a little you would know that is a personal command and not one issued to governing authorities. You cannot take personal commands and make them apply to nations and governments.

Romans 13 King James Version​

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 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:
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.

If that is God's stated disposition toward the wicked, then why should Christians desire something different?

You say that laws are laws. I agree that lawful authority has a role to play.

But acknowledging a lawful sentence and desiring the death of the offender are not the same thing.

I NEVER SAID i DESIRE THE DEATH OF A CONVVICTED MURDERER! I just acknowledge that there are penalties for it and they7 should be carried out. I am saddened that they made choices that brought them to that awful place, but now they face the civil consequences for actions taken.

The hand wringing to thwart justice being done in the Christa Pike case is unbecoming of a Christian.

So desperate are they, they put you in a position to have to deny desiring the death of someone who never had any dealings with In some twisted attempt to emotionally manipulate.

Where is the angst about this shooter being killed on the spot rather than 30 years later? Children and teacher killed in Oregon primary school shooting

Where is the angst about this shooter being killed on the spot rather than 30 years later?

How about your "Christian White House Hero" murdering 200 students in an Iranian girl's school?
How about t h a t?

I appreciate the clarification.

If you do not desire the death of the offender, then I think we may be closer in agreement than it first appeared.

I have never denied that civil authorities may impose penalties or that Romans 13 recognizes their authority to do so.

My concern has been with the claim that Christians ought to desire the offender's execution, or that concern for repentance, mercy, and salvation is somehow beside the point.

If you are saying that a lawful sentence may be carried out while still being saddened by the offender's choices and hoping for his or her repentance and salvation, then I would largely agree.

My point has simply been that Romans 13 answers a question about the authority of the state.

It does not erase what Scripture elsewhere says about God's desire that the wicked turn and live (Ezekiel 33:11), nor Christ's concern for the restoration of sinners.

So perhaps the real question is not whether the state possesses authority, but whether Christians should continue to desire repentance and salvation even for those who rightfully face severe punishment.

I believe Scripture consistently answers that question with "yes."
