So the_seeker feels these people should not have been executed.
- Richard Rojem (Oklahoma, June 27, 2024) - Convicted of kidnapping, raping, and killing a 7-year-old girl in 1984.
He was given 40 years to appeal with free legal assistance. But the_seeker wants to condemn Christians for his execution.

Please remember only 0.1% of all murders get the death penalty. 99.9% of them are not executed.
These cases show the typical pattern where executions usually occur decades after the original sentence, with people on death row taking 25 to 30 years to exhaust their appeals
As a Christian I support the gospel being preached to these ones and I support them confessing their sins, repenting and the blood of Jesus cleansing them from all sins. But there is nothing in the New Testament that would tell us to go against the laws of the nation we are in based on what the people of that nation want as long as those laws do not violate God's righteous laws, and according to God righteousness is "as you have done it will be done to you". Executing a heinous murderer does not violate God's righteous laws.
Our status as Christians is as ambassadors.
