Bible Note: Dear Sir Pent, If it helps anything at all, I tried to avoid this thread because of its potential to divide the members of the Forum into "groups".. I am learning to stay away from such divisiveness, although my history on this Forum is striped with engaging in debates that simply cannot be "won", such as the debate on 'limited/unlimited atonement.' It may rattle some members of this Forum, but I agree with you that capital punishment is not a course of action that we should undertake, even though the criminal MUST be completely taken out of society and stripped of their rights as individual citizens. To put a person to death for any crime would deny that person the chance of possible restitution with our Lord. Just who is man that he should feel justified in taking another's life at any circumstance? I agree with you and Brian, and I do so at the risk of being "flamed" by my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
