Subject: Should Christians practice nonresistance |
Bible Note: Dear Brian, I disagree with you. As a student of history, ancient and recent, I can tell you that the capital punishment and the disregard for human life that you are dwelling on (abortion and euthenasia) are not linked together, but rather inversely. The movement toward these two forms of murder goes hand-in-hand with the movement against capital punishment, all are humanistic in nature. All are masquerading as 'concern for the dignity and freedom of man (and woman).' You keep telling me of the reformed murderer apostle. Explain yourself. And what is the point, anyway. God was in charge, not society. It is a fact that few 'spend their life in Christ' while in prison. Comparing saints in prison for their faith with criminals in prison for violent crime is strange. Life in prison with parole in a few years is not near as much a deterrent as capital punishment. How much is your spouse's/ child's/ friend's life worth? Some monetary figure? Or perhaps a few thousand hours of 'community service?' Please! I find that abolishing capital punisment cheapens the life of those who are victims. In Jesus' name, charis |
