Capital Punishment ... What Would Jesus Do?

[Hilga]

They'd have trouble water boarding Jesus.

He'd turn the water into wine and everyone would be happy.

If I had to drown, wine could be a good way, so long as it is not of that aussie shyte!

Please tell me that Jesus did not serve fish on toast to people.

reconsiders faith*

Yeah he did mate. Horrendous i know but i remember it from Sunday School.

And it wasn't even mighty white bread which might of made it slightly ok.

I mean fish on toast, thats just wrong no matter how hungry they were.

Sardines, mackrel, wild alaskan salmon..born to go on toast. Toxteth folk will know the fish toast chippy or is that technically Dingle? In any case, divine.

Apparently it's important for His followers to ask themselves, "What would Jesus Do" in tricky situations.

Can anyone imagine Jesus as an executioner ... into rifles, lethal injections, hanging and what have you? Can you really call yourself a Christian if you support capital punishment?

In a word, yes.

However, don't let me tell you what I think, let me show you how Jesus reacted to a mob ready to stone a woman accused of adultery, an offense punishable by death:

John 8

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”


Now, that said, this sort of thread really has no place to go but down and fast as it could easily be deemed offensive by members of this forum for a variety of reasons.
