From my comment, you infer that I love evil? I don’t. I wish everyone could be saved, but they won’t be. I guess it’s just the flesh in me that wants to see evil punished on this earth, knowing that in the end, Jesus will take care of it.

Why on earth do people think that wanting to see justice done on earth, here and now is fleshly????

God *HATES* injustice. There's no reason for us to not hate it and other sin as well.

Besides, it's our misguided notion of justice, wherein the criminal is not punished appropriately for the crime committed, that has gotten us in to our present state of things.

There is NO legitimate reason that justice cannot be done both here on earth by mankind, as God commanded, and God taking care of it on His end as well.

Mankind executing justice here on earth does not preclude God also doing so later.

Applauding evil doesn’t seem very righteous to me.
I’d string up a child predator in my own tree.
I think we should use the death penalty for a lot more crimes than we do.
However, torture and abuse is not part of our criminal justice system.
Cheering torture and abuse is depraved.
