"And if you think it through consistently, this entails that none of the Old Testament’s commands to carry out capital punishment should ever be acted on! Indeed, for followers of Jesus, it entails that no command to carry out capital punishment should ever be obeyed, regardless of where it is found or who it comes from.
The command itself may be just, but unless you are without sin, you’re not justified putting it into practice.
Think about it, and have a blessed day!"
I've thought about it, and I see no way to limit the logic to capital punishment. I can see how, if true, it could apply to all punishment thereby rendering civil government, per se, immoral. I see no way to limit it in the way Greg is doing.
