I'm split regarding the death penalty ~ I know that if someone savagely killed a child of mine, it would be impossible for me to forgive. If that person was identified and found guilty .. it would be impossible for me not to want to kill them without mercy. I have similar emotions for any perpetrator of heinous crimes against children, elderly, and animals. Jesus instructed his followers to abide by the Law of Moses ~ "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets .." I don't believe that it was the intent of Jesus to teach us not to obey civil laws ~ but I truly believe that those who murder with cold blooded conviction should be removed from society.
