1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.
5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake.
6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.
The commandment you refer to should read, Thou shall do no murder. If you have any knowledge about the scriptures you would see that God Himself gave orders to various people to kill others. And God has that right, He can take life, and He is the one who gives life. According to scripture, He alone has the power over death.
As far as Capital punishment goes, I believe in it,
I think everybody in the Capital should be punished.
8. He calls me and asks me out and then when he does pick me up, he asks, "why do you trust me already?". SHEEEEESHHH!! This one really bugs me!!! This happened to me last Tuesday.

I'm just trying to be a father, Raise a daughter and a son, Be a lover to their mother, Everything to everyone. Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit, Yeah, I'm dressed for success from my head down to my boots, I don't do it for money, there's still bills that I can't pay, I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway, Providing for our future's my responsibility, Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be, And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekends been to strong, I just work straight through the holidays, And sometimes all night long. You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door, Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core, And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price, I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrafice, Oh, and I don't want to die for you, But if dyin's asked of me, I'll bear that cross with an honor, 'Cause freedom don't come free. I'm an american soldier, an american, Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand, When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right, I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight. American soldier, I'm an American, An American, An American Soldier

I am impressed, you see that too, no possessions, this song is about a socialist government controlling the people. With no God, and redistributing of wealth.
If it makes you feel any better BND, I did read the entire post, it`s nothing new to me. I`ve read plenty of these type things over the past several years.
I just choose not to comment on it. People already have their minds made up on these issues, I happen not to put any faith or trust in this report, or our government. But I do Like "bush"
RE: capital punishment necessary or humans playing god?
That right was given by God. See above reference.
