I think I should have worded the title of the thread differently, but I can't think of anything different so what's done is done.
As you know, I am a Baptist. I go to a KJV Bible preaching church and many in my church, I should say most, are in favor of the Death Penalty but I am not. As I've said, we are human and we make mistakes all the time. There is a possibility that an innocent person could be executed and I can not justify putting anyone to death if one innocent person is put to death.
Then there is the fact that people "Get Saved" while in jail and those who "Get Saved" while on Death Row. Who are we to deny anyone the chance at salvation because our law says that they are to be put to death?
Many Baptist Churches are turning Calvanist and I believe they are turning Calvanist to justify their stance on the Death Penalty among other things. Calvanists believe GOD chooses who gets into Heaven and who goes to Hell. I don't know why they believe this way since it defeats Jesus Christs work on the Cross and his Ressurection. Seriously, if GOD chooses, then why the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the sins of mankind? It makes no sense but that's a different thread.
My iPad is acting up and when posts get long, it takes a while to type things out for some reason so I'll leave it there.
