I read an interesting article on FOXNews today, and we know that source is always fair and balanced because they tell us they are . . . Did you know that when Saddam Hussein was ruling Iraq, there were around 800,000 Christians in the country and even one of his high ranking officials was a Christian? He just happens to be in prison now, since the American invasion, well since he was captured or whatever happened, but he claims to be a Christian, and he also claimed that any government takes exception and prosecutes to the fullest extent of the law, when there is an assassination attempt upon it's leader, as was the case that Saddam was lynched for. Now, before I get on my soap box concerning capital punishment, I would like to say in the midst of [mission accomplished] and the [taliban has been eradicated] according to FOXNews, it is Christianity in Iraq that is being eliminated. It is estimated that over half of the Christians have left the country, since Saddam was removed from power. That seems an odd result for a Christian Nation bringing liberation and Iraqi Freedom! So, as the Taliban regains their prominance in Afghanistan and Iraqi Freedom has now afforded alQaida to have headquarters in Iraq, the Christians are the ones that are being driven away and losing their homes, their freedom and their once comfortable lives. Now I have to mention this same integrity is applied to the death penalty, here in America. You see a "Christian" democracy has no right or authority to use the death penalty. The death penalty was only given in the laws of the Theocracy established at Mt. Sinai. A "Christian" democracy doesn't adhere to G~d's laws, therefore they are just implementing and excercising mockery at the expense of human life. And by the way, just in case anyone ever claims a fully theocratic society based upon the Torah, there is no such thing as capital punishment upon circumstancial evidence. There must be two witnesses . . . Now, back to this integrity that the followers of this current administration so applauds. I remember reading only two pages in a biography about President Bush, and this was when he was the governor of Texas, capital punishment central! A woman that confessed to a brutal murder and expressed deep remorse upon her Christian conversion did not receive a pardon from the governor, but a vicious serial killer was spared by this same governor because although they knew he was guilty of several heinous acts inlcuding murder, they weren't sure about one specific murder . . . so this man received clemency, and the jury's decision and recommendation were overturned. And that was called integrity. As a matter of fact all of this is considered above reproach. It must be, it's allowed to continue! Oh, and for those of us that are against capital punishment, because we do believe the Bible, look out. The same doctor, yes doctor, the ones that take an oath to first do no harm. The doctor that is called the creator of lethal injection thinks it's time to rethink lethal injection, due to the legal protests of it possibly being inhumane and cruel. His closing statement in the article I read . . . He's not opposed to bringing back the guillotine. If this is integrity, upon what is it based? A Christian nation that fancies itself to have the authority to disregard G~d's laws, might want to consider what the New Testament has to say regarding this matter. The only mention of war and capital punishment are inacted by Rome against Messiah and his followers, and the prophesied beast against believers.
And walk in love, as Messiah also hath loved us . . .
