Wake up Christians, read your Bible and not Rowling's work.

You are correct that God holds people responsible for there sin and sins, ULTIMATELY. However I hold my children responsible for their action, my boss holds me responsible for my actions and the government holds us all responsible for our actions all within the respective realms of authority. My question to Cbcpreacher was in response to him saying that the boy is responsible for his actions. My question is what does that mean? We say one is responsible but yet there is no consequence, no punishment. What is really sad is that Christians and "so-called" Christians do not read their bible and understand it. Perhaps it is because they use heretical versions of the Holy Scripture and have no understanding of Biblical doctrine. Perhaps their pastors do not understand and do not teach doctrine. Perhaps their pastors are hirelings and not really called of God to shepherd their flocks. I have strayed from the subject here. You are wrong on capital punishment.Capital punishment is not a sin. You should read your Bible,the book of Joshua chapter 7.Remember the man who took the wedge of gold from Ai? Oh, what of the woman taken in adultery? They would have stoned her just as the law set forth (Lev 20:10). Now Jim, look up John 8, verse 5 in particlar.Sad so many don't understand.

How do we hold a person responsible for their actions? Do we just talk about it?
