If they have broken the law then they should be apprehended, tried and appropriately punished. Nobody says otherwise, not even Jesus. But that's not what this thread is about. What it's about is killing the two survivors of that boat strike and why you think it was a righteous thing to do.Yeah. What does Christianity say about justice and how governments should respond to it? Just let criminals off the hook and pray for them? Show me a truly repentant narco terrorist, and I will show forgiveness and mercy. Show a soldier an enemy combatant, and they will show you winning hearts and minds by putting two in the heart and one in the mind. As Romans 13 explains, the government does not wield a sword for no reason. The military and law enforcement is that sword. So please spare me the lecture about how we should turn the other cheek towards serial rapists, murders, drug smugglers, and human traffickers knowing that they will continue to harm others when the alternative is to either kill or incarcerate them so others are safe while they figure themselves out.
