Jesus did not stop the Death penalty of the two men than were executed with him. As I believer I am sure he could have stopped this or at least spoken out to the injustice of it.

If you ever want to know what a Christian should believe the most reliable source is an atheist.

Okay....All I did was answer the question you posed.

I did say "your" but I meant the general "you" not you (Larry) specifically as I took it as a general question that got a general answer.


If you ask what should you "PERSONALLY" be against the death penalty I could not answer that although the answer would be similar in my opinion.  And even with that I can't say what your individual belief is.

Now, next topic:

The story of the two other criminals dying next to Jesus help fulfill a prophecy.

Jesus spoke out against stoning did he not?  He is quoted as saying to turn the other cheek when slighted.  He healed the ear of the roman sentry who had it cut off in one story of the Passion.

I've spoken to atheists...they seem to think that Christians talk a good game about what others should do vs what THEY should do when the choices come to close to home.  I stand by the "nobody is perfect" when it comes to sticking to your religious beliefs in your own life (General "your"...anybody...not you specifically).  I am well aware of how I SHOULD act based on the religion I was brought up learning.  I know that many times I do not act that way because either I think I was taught a poor way of acting or I just fail.


If you meant to imply that *I* am an atheist you would be wrong.  But that's for a different thread.  We got far enough off track already.
