I don't see capital punishment as wrong. Evidently Jesus didn't either. People must pay for their evil in this life. It says in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the land or the sword will take care of justice. That is why Jesus never addressed wars or self defense. He came to save souls, not stop war. He also said the poor would always be with us. That does not mean poverty is godly. It just means some people will not prosper and there is nothing you can do about others. I think Jesus' message was a personal one for our individual soul, not for remaking society.

I see you're up early. I'm about ready to start work. Where do you live? I'm in Eastern Washington right up there near Canada and about 1/4 mile from Idaho.
