Is CAPITAL PUNISHMENT God's Way? - Roderick C Meredith - January 1953

Roderick C Meredith

Why doesn't God strike down evil doers and Punish them? Is it His will that criminals escape punishment? MR. J. EDGAR HOOVER, head of the F.B.I., in a discussion on "Crime in America," reveals these shocking facts: "ONE MILLION American girls have venereal disease; 100,000 girls disappear every year into white slavery; a major crime is committed every twenty-two seconds; a murder every forty minutes." Crime and violence of every kind are increasing by leaps and bounds in spite of the fact that America is spending millions of dollars for law enforcement. Why? What's wrong with the American system of law enforcement that crime is not discouraged? Instead of ignoring this problem, it's time to face it. Jesus faced it! Christ Will Stamp Out Crime! Christ is going to return to this earth to rule the nations. He promised His followers - you and me - that if we overcome sin we will rule with Him - we will have authority over the nations (Rev. 2:26-27; 19:14-16). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
