Ah, so God doesn't care what governments do? Got it.7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Sorry Jesus. They aren't interested in being Sons, they'd rather bomb the shit out of people, it's more fun, like a video game, with real blood and guts.
Since Jesus didn't address governments, your statement is moot.
You are mistaken, PMH. The laws of the land are to be obeyed - if someone murders someone else - they stand trial and can be given a death penalty. America had a case of a woman who murdered someone with a pick axe. Carla Faye Tucker - I believe that was her name. She became a Christian but she still had to face the consequences of her crime and was put to death. There are consequences to deciding to become a jihadist - a murderer - and the followers of ISIS have just learned that Jordan is enforcing those consequences. My hope is that those two people repented of their sins and asked Jesus to be their savior before they were executed. Otherwise they are in hell now. If you think being put to death was the worst of it - you have no idea. Their torment is only beginning. And will last throughout eternity. No murderer can enter the kingdom of heaven unless they have repented and are born again. That's the bible. They need to believe the bible. Not a man with a book that God never endorsed.
