    Do Hitler deserve death?

  • @CEOcutter I do not deserve death and neither do you...no one DESERVES to die. That is so Bronze Age; please join us in the 21st century. There is no proof of an afterlife so why take away the one life for which there actually IS evidence?

  • I have a question concerning what John Piper said, the criminal will be let go in heaven. What if that criminal wasn't born again or water or spirit? Then what how do you answer that? Because like John piper said, here society doesn't work. What do you do?

  • @UrukEngineer

    For your sin. Every sinner who ever live deserves death. Only by the grace and mercy of God are you still here right now.

  • @CEOcutter "You deserves capital punishment."

    For what crime do I deserve to be murdered?

  • @UrukEngineer

    You deserves capital punishment. 

  • "Love justy"... LOL John you really cracked me up hahahaha.. great answers hahaha, but thank you for the laugh! I don't know why I found it so irrefutably funny.. stilll laughing

  • Life imprisonment should be the punishment. No Christian can carry out or authorize the death penalty. That is vengeance, not justice. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone. If abortion is murder, capital punishment is murder. Life imprisonment protects society. Capital punishment enslaves us to Mosaic law. Jesus brought the new covenant. Jesus will judge murderers. In Romans it says we all deserve death. Should we all be executed, then?

  • Dr. Piper says it well. And we have a biblical example of this situation. On the cross Christ forgave the thief beside Him and showed mercy, telling the man that he would be in Paradise with Himself that very night, but He didn't take the thief off the cross and relieve him of his debt to society.

    This is a trick question. No one deserves capital punishment?

    Jeez, what is it with christians and death?
