Bible Note: Greetings Sir! While I can respect your belief, I must say that it is based upon two assumptions about what the New Testament says, not on what the text actually says. 1) You have assumed that there has been a fundamental change, but there is not one text that says that. 2) You have assumed that the everyone who died in the OT times had the opportunity to accept Christ, most would argue that Christ only preached to the righteous who were in the paradise side of Sheol/Hades. Like I said, I would stand behind your right to reject the death penalty. But, I would not believe that one can make a moral case for that position from Scripture. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
