Capital Punishment and Judgment - According to God

Capital Punishment:  Liberal Democrats are against it and conservative Christians make it even worse than death.  

But the Bible is crystal clear that God invented it as the penalty for sin.

"...sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4)

"The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23a)

"ALL have sinned...." (Romans 3:23)

Therefore...

"...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27)

God is for Capital Punishment - so I'm for what God is for!

Judgment:  Liberal Democrats think they are the gods in charge of it and conservative Christians think the Liberals are going to hell for thinking so.

But again the Bible is crystal clear that God is in charge of Judgment. And that Judgment is to save the sinners from death - all of them - by making them new and alive in Christ Jesus.

“For even as, in Adam, ALL are dying, thus also, in Christ ,shall ALL be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:22)

"Anyone in Christ is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:17-18)

This Judgment of God is the good news (the gospel) that is supposed to be taught in the Churches who proclaim Jesus is Lord. Here is some more of that good news from the Bible...

"As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:12)

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself not counting their sins against them.” (2 Corinthians 5:19)

“God our Savior…will have ALL men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Tim. 2:4)

"God commends His love for us in that while we were sinners Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

“When we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His son.” (Romans 5:10)

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

“And having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile ALL unto Himself.” (Colossians 1:20)

"...there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who have himself as a ransom for all." (1 Tim. 2:5-6)

“Trust in the living God, who is the Savior of ALL men.” (1 Tim. 4:10)

Son, in obedience to God I have determined to believe God and...

"Prescribe and teach these things." (1 Tim. 4:11)
