I wholeheartedly support this measure, and with the third Boss Tweed abortion act only one vote away from a majority, it looks like Atlasia has finally started to become a sanctuary for the basic right to life.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you - Matthew 5:44

We must do just this and forgive these sinners instead of condemning them.

i am torn on this act Sad .. I mean I see that the bibles say to forgive your ememis. But I think life in jail is way to easy for them...

The bible says capital punishment is acceptable if administered by the government as a punishment for crimes.

Where? I'm not saying you are wrong.. I just need to study up on this issues.

I think he's referring to the laws contained in Leviticus and Deuteronomy in the old testament. However, in the new testament Christ renounces all of that. I maintain my stance that in the end the Bible does not condone death as punishment.

Ok, do you happen to know where it is in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. And where Christ goes against it in the New Testament?

He goes against it in Matthew 5:44 (which I posted earlier in the thread) and in the story where an adulteress is about to be stoned, but Jesus says "Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her" (Jn 8:7) and then when no one can throw a stone he forgives her of her sin.

I don't know the exact places in the old testament but I know they're there
