I'm not sure why incarcerating an innocent man for life is that much better than executing him.

Exactly. We are reconciled to God by Christ's death. Even the infants! How do we know they are reconciled to God by Christ's death? Because they also will be resurrected. Death shall be conquered for them. We aren't saved yet, according to Rom 5:10--"We SHALL be saved..." Thus, they die, just...

I thought Jesus' death on the cross, paying the penalty for sin, was what restored the "alive-ness". If separation is the problem, then we can't fix the problem just by not being separated anymore (i.e., just suddenly having a relationship with God). If this is true, then it suggests that...

They do die, all the time. Abortion is a case where babies have no time to sin, yet they die.

Yet, children still die. If the wages of sin is death, why do they receive those wages?

@JudgeRightly and @Clete I tend to agree with you--that there are differing ages when people should be held accountable, maybe even different ages in the same person for different things. Some of Clete's post's scripture was relating to military service, and I remember hearing one pastor...

I'm curious about whether the age of accountability would set a lower limit on whom we should witness to, because if they aren't accountable for evil, can they be accountable for good, or at least for a permanent, everlasting decision?

Deuteronomy 17:8-12 KJV — If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall...

Any time you reject a proper solution for an improper one means that you support murderers and rapists going free. If the creator of the universe days the evil will not be inhibited without the measures for justice He has given, and you reject those, you are supporting freeing rapists and...

And those who disagree with me are stupid, along with having a rock for a brain. Blah, blah, blah.

"Again"? Wouldn't that require that he had stopped using ad hominems at one time?

Yes, I understand, but if he propagates the false witness testimony as truth, he becomes another false witness. That's what accuser means--someone who brings testimony against.

They are one and the same.

Remember that part of the discussion is about evil prosecutors and judges, which are government agents, so the government has ti give up guns and knives and wear gps trackers.

And the penalty for purposely prosecuting an innocent man should be the same penalty the man would have received. Deuteronomy 19:18-19 (KJV) 18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, [if] the witness [be] a false witness, [and] hath testified falsely against his brother...

As long as they are allowed to skirt the rules and regulations.

The thing you're missing is that His death applies to the physical body resurrection of EVERYONE. We know that because everyone who dies will be resurrected. If Death is abolished, if Christ completely defeats death, if death is thrown into the lake of fire, then there is no death, even for...

Yep. So long.

Yes, like banging my head against a brick wall kind of fun

That's good--no need to stop now.
