FIX YOUR FORMATTING.
Are you referring to Due Process?
He should be put to death within 24 hours.
Put the pressure on.
30 days? "Eh, I'll repent later."
Day 30 arrives: "Why do I need to repent? I did nothing wrong!"
Giving a criminal time to relax allows him to solidify in his mind that he did nothing wrong, because there's no immediate punishment.
Executing a criminal within 24 hours, while giving him time to repent, also forces him to consider his eternal destination.
50% of the time when someone is confronted with the reality of their death, they turn to God. The other 50% they turn away.
God said that he has set out life and death, and to choose. There's no third option.
If not, you're remarkably unable to articulate your beliefs. You've repeated them several times.
I can only point out that in America, that has never been accepted.
I cited a federal court decision. That's "someone" on all sorts of levels.
I realize you believe God wants to kill the guilty to the point that innocent people are killed. I disagree.
So you now don't approve of rapid executions, which would kill scores of innocent people?
(Jesus shames the Pharisees into letting a guilty woman go free)Question begging.
Show me, Biblically, why God had to repeal the death penalty to forgive the adulteress.
He didn't repeat an argument. He merely shamed them into not killing her, as the law demanded.
You're clearly not paying attention to what I'm saying. Go read what I said again, and respond to that.
Show us that there weren't witnesses.Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her,“Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”[/YELLOW]She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” - John 8:9-11 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John8:9-11&version=NKJV
And you're saying that if one guilty person escapes, you must let the other guilty person go free? How so?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
You don't know your Bible too well, do you?
‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death. - Leviticus 20:10 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus20:10&version=NKJV
(editing God's word to make a point)
I don't think that's a good idea for you to do.
You just don't like it because it's exactly what you're doing, saying "don't put murderers to death because they might be innocent," even though God specifically said to put murderers to death and to not show mercy nor pity.
I didn't say you were lying, but I don't think he likes it.
Read what I said again. I said YOU were lying.
You need to show us that. Show us there were no witnesses, and show us where it says that if one guilty party escapes the other guilty party must go free.
Supra.
I don't think this is serving any good purpose.
The word of God does not return void.
If you want to continue, show us that there weren't any witnesses, and that God says if one guilty party escapes, we have to set the other one free. I'll give you the last word now.
See above.
This:
And before you ask, no, by "criminal" I mean one who committed a capital crime.
Those who commit other crimes should be punished appropriately.
So, how do we alter Due Process to accommodate/succor mob mentality? Constitutionally speaking, of course.
As far as people who commit crime in a group?
Accommodating
the ones who harbor the deep-seated urge to publicly execute those they desire as sufficiently worthy....post haste.
Then who?
In what way? Be specific.
:liberals:
Are you trying, in a roundabout way, to talk about me?
It's difficult to comprehend how these liberals think we're going to execute the wrong guy in one of these situations.Interesting the way some weep over a mass murderer. I think he should be taken out and shot.
Hmm, I think that's not painful enough, though it certainly is swift...Interesting the way some weep over a mass murderer. I think he should be taken out and shot.
Yeah but... It would be painful. They get tossed in hell.
That's not a PC thing to say, but a person who would shoot up a crowd of people has a pretty hard heart.

Only if they don't get saved before they die.
Interesting the way some weep over a mass murderer. I think he should be taken out and shot.
Interesting the way some would so impulsively play at our rights and liberties in the short term for a fleeting, impassioned opportunity at revenge.
Be careful what you choose to (knee-jerk) negate for others...you might require its privilege one day..
I see that went completely over your head. Next....People don't have a right to murder, especially abortion.
If there came a day when I were tempted to gun down a whole lot of innocent people, I'd want the knowledge that a swift and extremely painful execution awaited me.
Can you guess why?
