If God were to actually get involved, wouldn't he be intelligent enough to instead tell the JURY MEMBERS that the Defendant was in fact innocent?
 
Kind of reminds me of Edgar Ray Killen, charged in 1966 with murder of the three civil rights workers in Neshoba County Miss. and acquitted on account of a hung jury that voted 11-1.

Lone holdout saying she could never convict a preacher.

Well, where god might have told her whatever, he apparently didn't back her over time.

Killen was retried in 2005 and sentenced to three times 20 years, dying in jail a couple of days ago.

When people (judges or not) hear voices without seeing anyone, it's time to hang up the phone.

Usually works for me.:lol:

That's absolute nonsense.

What doesn't work worth a darn is the "anything goes" thinking of those who say there is no sin, who call evil good, and good evil. Those whose subjective moral relativism prevents them from acknowledging that illegal aliens have broken the law. Whose subjective moral relativism gives a not guilty for those who govern over illegal sanctuary cities. And those whose liberal subjective moral relativism convinces them that the horrendous infanticide of the innocent unborn is not something they should be held accountable for.

That's what doesn't mix well, Ramoss. And God will hold those kinds of people, and everyone else, accountable at the Judgment.

Why am I not surprised you are defending this judges actions.
 
God hates america. Bush claimed god told him that he should be president. And since bush was bad for america god wanted america to suffer.

Non sequitor. Bush has nothing to do with this.

Not defending the judge's actions. Just the half-backed conclusion you blurted out.

NOpe.. it was obviously defending the judge. Religion has no place in the justice system when it comes to determining guilt or innocence. Justice and religion do not mix in a secular society, such as we have.

As usual, you're wrong. It wasn't defending what that judge did. It was addressing the nonsense you posted after that, that religion and justice / law do not mix.

James Wilson, one of the original Supreme Court Justices, and a signer of the Constitution, explained,

“Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine…Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants…”

You're busted.

That is just one mans opinion, a very bad one since there is no evidence there is any actual divine law and no way of knowing what it is even if it exists.
Thus we are left with nothing but human designed laws

Nah.. what some person said 200 years ago that isn't signed into law and is merely an opinion has no bearing on the case. Do keep your illusions though.

And saying religion and justice mix is defending that judge.
 
God has not favored one fleshly nation over another since the nation of Israel was rejected by Him...Matt. 21:14...so I doubt the judge heard anything outside of the voices in his head...

I woudl think so.. but.. well, it's Texas.. and the New Braunfels area is particularly conservative and uber religious.

Down in Texas, a judge tried to sway a jury , saying God told him the defendant was not guilty. Although the judge reclused himself before the sentencing, the jury was not convinced by his say so, and found the woman guilty of sex trafficking a teen.

Texas judge interrupts jury, says God told him defendant is not guilty | KIRO-TV

Justice and religion do not mix.
