No one is. Only the Lord is. Their main interest is to keep their position in our government. They will do anything and say anything to get the vote. The question is will they do what they promise.
History clearly shows that many in government promise a lot, but deliver little.
The Bible teaches us to submit to the Law of the Land, and our Leaders. What the Church says about the death penalty I submit to you that the legislators need to consider revising the laws concerning the death penalty. Polls clearly state that our society favors alternatives to Capital Punishment, alternatives such as Life with out parole. Furthermore life with out parole along with restitution. When the polls indicate things such as this, then the legislature should act upon this.
