Consistency is the Hob-Goblin of the small mind.

Exactly so. I get so tired of our church droning on and on about how evil capital punishment is, while ignoring the much greater evil of abortion. Capital punishment these days kills at most 20 adults a year - adults who have lived a life, been convicted of some heinous crime, and usually have been in prison some 20 years appealing their conviction. Abortion kills over a million innocent babies a year, who have never even had a chance to live. No comparison whatsoever.

By being faithful to scripture, which forbids murder and commands capital punishment.

Honestly.

How can pro-woman liberals support the killing in the womb of millions of female babies?

EASY. Some criminals NEVER stop unless incarcerated or eliminated. HOW MANY innocents need to die for the MURDERER. Witness history. Why is Malik Nidal Hasan still alive. Whose life is worth more, your’s or your murderer’s? Let’s give a murderer supremacy to dispose of you, your wife, your children.

Because God ordained capital punishment for certain crimes such as MURDER. Words actually mean stuff.

When terms are confused or changed, expect to find a liberal with dirty hands.

I’ve not read your whole post but I’ll give you the short answer. It is the duty of government to protect righteousness among people. To keep society clean. Such is commanded by God.

Shedding innocent blood...ie murder, is NOT commanded by God.

One punishes evil and severe wrong doing. One IS evil and severe wrong doing.

Because there’s a tremendous difference in executing heinous murderers and aborting children for convenience sake.

Seems to me both sides can manipulate the Bible to support their view.

And the Bible shouldn’t be used as a political instrument

Apology in advance: I haven’t read all the other responses.

My response: I believe you are innocent until proven guilty. Babies are innocent. Murderers, et.al. have been proven guilty.

’nuff said.

It really is as simple as do you believe that the Bible is the word of God and follow it, or do you not?

Scripture mandates execution for certain actions.

There is nothing complicated here and there are not any nuances. Is God the Lord of the universe with authority to mandate consequences, or not?

The difference between abortion and capital punishment is innocence. As such, we need to be greatly concerned with the possible innocence of those charged with a capital crime. The Bible deals with that too, although our laws do not mirror the Bible.

Jesus’ command to love and forgive your enemies does not preclude, or conflict with, God ordained just punishment.

“Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil” (Ecclesiastes 8:11, New King James Version).

The other side of that coin states: How you be pro-abortion and be against capital punishment?

How can pro-life Christians also support capital punishment?

My first thought was, what the heck?!?

What junior rocket scientist would even question this. It's a question of innocence versus guilt isn't it? You kill a man and we kill you back. You kill an unborn, we still should kill you back. And no, I didn't read this, why should I?

Thete is no comparison between killing an innocent baby for the sake of convenience and the execution of a particularly heinous criminal who has been accorded extensive protections of due process and been ajudicated deserving of the death penalty.

What is the baby’s crime? Causing syretch marks? Prompting a hiatus in the mother’s career plans or party schedule?
