Black teen in Colorado murdered newlywed soldier and then executed the pregnant wife.
Teen Macyo Joelle Januar found guilty of killing newlywed soldier and his pregnant wife | Daily Mail Online
^ Now that's "gangsta."
All the usual race baiters (Obama, Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, etc...) ignore these cases and the liberal U.S. media won't even publish them most of the time. I had to go to a foreign website to find it.

I was making a point how throughout the whole bible from the OT to the NT you can see examples of people of God going against the governing authorities by not following their ungodly laws, and standing for God by following His laws over theirs.
The Apostles are a clear example of this, they were put to death or exiled for not following the laws of the land to stop preaching what they considered blasphemous teaching in their area. It is not unlawful in God's eye to follow His laws over mans laws. It is a sin if you support and follow a law of man that contradicts His.

Sorry but it has not been repeatedly shown to me that I am false on the subject of the death penalty when it comes to scripture, and as a matter of fact the only things that you and a couple others have brought up. I have shown how they were misused, and the context was taken wrong.
You can look it up in the bible and other studies, there is no clear cut scripture in the NT that says the death penalty is acceptable. And Romans 13 does not do that, for if you try to make it fit what you say that we have to follow that law because our government said so, then like I said follow and support abortion, and gay marriage when it gets legalized nationally. The bible clearly states that you can not support other peoples sins, or it makes you guilty of sin to.
Wrong on your behalf to, because I know a lot of biblical scholars who do not support the death penalty.
To refer me to the SDA or JV and calling it cult like is just plain ridiculous, for I am not part of any denomination.
I am apart of one of the biggest movements growing in Christianity right now, and that is the nondenominational movement. We teach only from the bible, and do not let mans philosophies, traditions, customs, and personal values corrupt the word.
My main question would be to you and others that believe the NT covenant still supports death penalty is the same I have always said;
Three scriptures in the NT say that the Lord our God shows no personal favoritism to any man;
So why would the Lord show personal favoritism and wave the death penalty for some sins, but not others ? ( He wouldn't )

Really, I am a liar AgeofKnowledge well lets just see about that.
He told me to love Him with all my heart, soul, and mind.....I follow that command
He told me to love my neighbor as myself....Follow this to
He told me to love my enemies......Follow this to, by not showing any ill will toward nobody and forgiving those who have done wrong.
He told me to repent of my sins, be baptized, and confess Him before others......I did and do these out of love for Him.
He told me to help others in need, and not turn them away.....Out of love for Him I do this to.
Jesus Christ told me to love, forgive, minister, show mercy, and compassion to them that are in prison......This I have done as well.
So why do you call me a liar for saying I follow what my Lord has told me to do.
And the thing I have asked before, and I will ask again show me one clear cut scripture where Jesus says to put to death somebody. If you can do it I will side with you that it does, but in my reading and studying, using references to by multiple different biblical scholars is why I stand for what I stand for when it comes to the death penalty.

This could have all been avoided, and I wasn't being negative toward anybody. I was just posting my stance on the issue.
I mentioned the likes I get, and I know we all get our fair share of likes, because Age and Biscuit said I was losing all credibility in CC and that most people disagree with me and calling me false in my teachings. I used the likes for an example to show that there are still more that agree with what I say then not.
There is only three that completely disagree with me on here, five others that I know we disagree at times but agree at other times, the rest I have never seen them refute what I say.
God bless

Him taking the death penalty does not mean he supported it.
His life being taking had to be done to give us a way to be forgiven of our sins, and even in that what did He say about those who crucified Him. He prayed to God to forgive them for doing this.
Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do........
I'm not casting any stones at you brother.. and don't take any offense to statements on here, I understand your position, but I agree, that there are lines, if a guy comes home from doing 25 years for premeditated murder, and he gets the same thoughts to do so again, he's better to cut off his arms and or legs that he doesn't.. This is in the Bible,
30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
May God bless you brother..
30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
May God bless you brother..

Thank you, and I didn't mean to make it sound like you were doing it.
I try not to take offense to others statements, but when name calling and trying to make themselves out to be better than another because they believe they are more educated then you and take every opportunity to point it out when you have made a mistake even a tiny bit, it still gets under my skin. So I still struggle in that area.
Yes I know that scripture to, and yes I agree with it to. It is better to cast the part off that makes you sin, then to let your whole body perish. Eliminate the sin, and save your spirit through Jesus Christ.
The authoritative word of God is not limited only to the words of Jesus in the NT.
All of Scripture is God-breathed and authoritative.
1) It doesn't require a "clear cut Scripture" to know what the Scriptures teach.
There is no "clear cut Scripture" stating a Triune God, but it is everywhere presented in the NT.
There is no "clear cut Scripture" stating God is sovereign, but it is everywhere presented in Scripture.
There is no "clear cut Scripture" stating that believers are in a relationship with God, but it is everywhere presented in the NT.
2) Ro 13:1-2, 4 are very clear regarding the Christian's obligation to obey the governing authority,
and regarding its God-authorized power of capital punishment (v.4).
3) Paul willingly offered to submit to capital punishment in Ac 25:11, which he would not have done
if doing so were Christian disobedience.
You will find submission to, and not prohibition of, capital punishment by Paul.
4) Jesus likewise reminded Peter that he would be subject to capital punishment if he killed any who were sent to arrest him, when he told Peter to put away his sword, for he who lives by the sword (commits murder) will die by the sword (capital punishment).
You will find acceptance of, and no prohibition of, capital punishment by Jesus.
The NT is clear on the God-authorized power of capital punishment by the governing authority.
