Regarding child sexual abuse and other crimes, while it is true that "vengeance is the Lord's", it is also true that justice (the administration of law) is the responsibility of the legal system. NASB Romans 13:3-4 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. GOD'S WORD Translation Romans 13:4 The government is God's servant working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid. The government has the right to carry out the death sentence. It is God's servant, an avenger to execute God's anger on anyone who does what is wrong. |

Dear Kalos, I heartily agree with you. As a person who loves children and a mother of five grown children,in answering Shadow, well, the subject makes me so angry, I was comforting him the way I feel comforted in such situations...I think good government should lock such a one up, if they ever find him/her, I think justice should prevail, but it doesn't always. But I KNOW GOD WILL DEAL WITH THAT ONE, and quite frankly, I'd rather God do it [though I certainly would like such a one caught and taken from society so as not to be able to continue. I also feel, these days and with THIS crime, I don't know if death is enough...but God will take care of the rest, if that one does not come to repentance first. |
