Death Penalty is Anti-God?

death penalty

Death penalty is one issue that has severely divided the brilliant opinions of our day. The moralists and self-righteous ones, including the so-called religious and intellectuals, have joined forces in ringing so loudly the bell of protest that the unlearned and poor-minded become easy captives of their eloquence. “End to the death penalty,”  they cried vehemently, “for humanitarian reasons; for we are pro-life!”  What a slogan is it? Indeed, the deaf in spirit will want to hear it.  A loud and clear sympathy for life, “anti-death penalty” is a cause worthy of everyone’s  support!

magdalene first saw risen christ

It is one evident account in the Scriptures about how God listens or reacts to real faith more than to the cold and wet expertise in theology. Mary Magdalene was nothing compared to Peter and John theologically. But Christ first appeared to her, the ex-harlot and house of seven demons.

Repentance and Faith in Christ

repentance and faith in christ

We find in Acts 3:19 the command to “Repent, then, and turn to God.” (NIV) Biblical repentance, therefore, means the act of turning to God through faith as we cannot change our attitude and love for our Creator without first believing in the gospel of Christ.
