I totally disagree with the Pope on this issue.  "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"; there are those who must pay the ultimate price for their sins against mankind.  Those such as the ISIS demons; you have to kill them.  There is no rehabilitation possible because they are satan's own.

I do not think that anyone's life ends before they have had their chance to turn to Jesus, whether their lives are ended by man or natural causes.  That said, Im also torn about the death penalty

Hi there, Surely you are aware that the Psalms were written hundreds of years before the volume we are holding in our hands was finalized. That said: while I don’t tend to idolize the Bible, I lo

That's not the death penalty though, that's war MG

And ISIS members have converted to Christianity.

This is what I struggle with concerning the death penalty.

God wants all to be saved.

When one is executed, then one has had their chance to be saved ended by other men in the name of justice.

I think it is commendable to want them to have the opportunity to repent until God takes their life, and if we can, as christians do so, we should, for this is eternity we are talking about.

 

 

That is definitely something to consider.  I often think about such things but I just don't know yet other than I support the death penalty for certain crimes.  That might change, depending.

I do not think that anyone's life ends before they have had their chance to turn to Jesus, whether their lives are ended by man or natural causes. 

That said, Im also torn about the death penalty. When arizona voted to reinstate the death penalty, I was all for it. I was not saved back then either. In recent years, I have been uncertain about the death penalty. If I had to vote again on the issue, I think I would have voted against it. 

This is my personal choice. I dont view others with disdain for wanting the death penalty. My views against it were reinforced by my bro in laws murder. I found that I did not want his murderer to face the death penalty. It is enough that he is incarcerated for life, where he cant hurt anyone else.

Again the False Prophet- otherwise known as Pope Francis trying to Impose the Anti-Christ  political agenda  by presenting a Non-Biblical statement to deceitfully to pose as Bible Scripture.

 The translation was --- THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER.  Not thou shalt not kill

My first thought was --hmm.....why are some of his "friends" about to commit murder and the plan is so they don't receive the Capital punishment /death penalty?

Pope Francis is NOT the False Prophet.  Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?

Yes, I know.  But I spoke of ISIS not as soldiers on the battlefield but as captured fighters being tried for war crimes.

What's not possible?  Stop defending a false teacher and a false prophet.

That's why I said I don't think his call to end the death penalty will work.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
