I appreciate your opinion, but isn't that what I said? I made the statement that God used pagan armies to punish His enemies, and this is one way He can carry out His judgement. Still I want to say that we as Christians should never want to see anyone put to death, but always seeking mercy that the soul would be converted. If the country we live in has the penalty of death to those who break laws then all we can do is pray for the mercy of those who are condemned. As for me and my house we will not advocate the putting to death of any human being. Those who commit crimes are all handed over to the mercy and judgement of God.

In Jesus name
