Enforce the death penalty

Romans 13: 1 states that “the powers that be are ordained of God.” Verse four reads, “For he is the minister of God. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain.

For he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.” What this means is that governments are placed first of all to compliment good but also to deal with evil using whatever method they see fit to deal with evil.

If the death penalty is the law, Taylor is well in his rights to ask that it be implemented. Besides being a priest he is also a citizen and has a right to share his honest opinion.

Harris made reference to merciful justice, which I agree with, but it must be applied with proper judgment and with wisdom.

The same God who is a God of mercy also said in Romans 9:15, “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” God knows when to make the switch and those who make the laws (governments) and enforce them must be wise enough to do the same.

With murders being carried out with no respect of people and with such brutality, the switch needs to take place. So with all respect to Harris, I suggest that the full law be implemented.

The death penalty is the law, enforce it.
