And what about the times that American cops have shot & killed the wrong person? I remember watching a video on the murder in a BART facility in California. A black kid was minding his own business, and as a result was arrested and a cop just up & killed him. That kid was just sitting there, arrested, hands cuffed behind his back, not saying anything,and the cop draws his gun and shots him dead. Does having a badge make the cop "God"?
I was ecstatic when I heard of that inhumane monster, Osama Bin Laden, was killed by U.S. forces-finally!
How can any reasonable person not agree with punishing people like Osama with death?
Bin Laden was a wicked man, that's for sure.
However was it right to execute him without due process?
IMO he should have been put on trial, his crimes aired before the world. His followers would have been demoralised by seeing their leader called to account before a court of law.
Ok. A lot of talk saying that execution is good. I suppose if the person did it, maybe it is.
Now let us revise this, and ask "what do you feel we should do, as Americans (or whatever nationality you hold) when someone in prison is executed, and after they are dead it turns out they were really innocent? Is that justice, or is it murder?

Right ...so if someone murdered your family after torturing them for hours , you would want them to live and have 3 meals a day , and be able to learn a new language in prison on your tax dollars ??
Paul was a murderer of Christians, until he became one.Osama become a Christian? Are you kidding? I don't think there's a person on this planet who seriously believes that such a hardline militant Muslim would ever become a Christian. Do you seriously believe that?
Amen!Capital punishment is absolutely against the teachings of Christ, ...
"Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you."This is talking about Christian loving Christians. Not all are our brothers.
I totally agree!Call it whatever you like:
War
Capital punishment
Execution
It's still murder.
Then you condemn God for murder because the God of the OT is the same as the God of the NT, unless of course you worship a different God. My God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, as the Bible states. Your view is simplistic, and I sense it is more the result of your political leanings than your desire to be more like Jesus. I could be wrong on this. I'm not perfect.Call it whatever you like:

They executed homosexuals, adulterers, violators of the Sabbath, those of other religions, etc. in the OT. Are you saying we should too?Then you condemn God for murder because the God of the OT is the same as the God of the NT, unless of course you worship a different God.

Are you above God that you should judge Him?They executed homosexuals, adulterers, violators of the Sabbath, those of other religions, etc. in the OT. Are you saying we should too?
I just asked a simple question, that you didn't answer.Are you above God that you should judge Him?
And still people think they can be Christians and play God with lives.Here's a list of everyone who was on death row that were aquited before being killed. Innocence: List of Those Freed From Death Row | Death Penalty Information Center
Just think how many more that weren't aquited in time.
I answered your question with a question. Jesus did much the same thing when questioned by the Sadducees and Pharisees. You are probably pro-choice (pro-abortion) and justify it in some liberal justification of genocide. I hope I'm wrong on this, but I see it way too often.I just asked a simple question, that you didn't answer.
