0:00.0 | I may have started 30 seconds early for the first time ever and what I want to do for our first question today is tackle a question I got a number of times on the video I did on the death penalty. |
0:10.5 | You see recently for those who don't, I did a video teaching why the death |
0:14.2 | penalty is a biblical concept. This doesn't mean, you know, you can just use the death |
0:19.0 | penalty whenever you want for whatever you want or something like that. I did a |
0:22.1 | careful, thoughtful teaching a |
0:23.4 | biblical evaluation of the topic of the death penalty, but I got pushback in the |

1:21.0 | Again, there's a link to my original video where I unpacked |
1:23.6 | this all very carefully and thoughtfully for those who want to reason it through |
1:26.1 | and not just like gut react to everything. That link is in the video |
1:29.6 | description here if you want to check out that video. Whereas with so abortion there's no murder. I mean the |
1:36.2 | baby has not committed murder. Right, these babies are not guilty of having done |
