recently there has been some concern about the process of killing death row inmates. that due to the botched executions and the methods themselves, unnecessary pain and suffering was being inflicted.

i got to thinking about the condemned persons. folks are not on death row for stealing candy. their entire life led them to this point where society considers them of no real value. non redeemable. a serious threat to society. a judge removes their right to life and society will not be threatened by this individual anymore. harsh reality.

the 2 thieves which accompanied Jesus to die on the cross certainly were not there because they got caught singing too loud in church. each of them had a long list of victims that were all to glad to see that justice was carried out. and it was, as both of them died on that hill that day.

here's my point: the victims of these two fellows crime spree were probably thinking and perhaps celebrating saying the two were burning in hell!

i think that folks are to quick to judge on matters that they have no rights to. God alone has the keys to life and death, heaven and hell.

as for the story above, my point is this: half right is all wrong.

This is what I know, God so loved the world he gave his only son. it didn't say God so loved the good ppl but the world meaning good and bad. Looking at the cross I see how far Jesus was willing to go for even the most evil of persons so even in the darkest hearts even within the most blood stained soul clearly he sees something there worth dying for.

and because of this I do not agree with the death sentence
 
you missed the point. not about death sentence or what God can forgives. nor is it about you. ahhh...forget it.
