In this episode of G220 Radio, we take a closer look at the recent comments made by Pope Francis, claiming that anyone who supports the death penalty cannot truly call themselves “pro-life.” As biblical Christians and abolitionists against abortion, we find this statement not only misguided but rooted in a deep misunderstanding of God’s Word and the purpose of civil government. We’ll open the Scriptures to examine what Romans 13 teaches about the governing authorities and the God-given role of the state to wield the sword against injustice. We’ll expose the absurdity of equating the death penalty with abortion—showing why punishing the guilty is not the same as murdering the innocent. We’ll also tackle the challenging question: if abortion is murder (which it is), then what about soldiers who go off to war? Grounding the discussion in Just War Theory and biblical principles, we’ll explore the difference between lawful justice in warfare and the unlawful taking of life. Join us as we boldly confront the confusion, uphold God’s truth, and proclaim the only consistent, Gospel-centered view of life, justice, and peace.
