If McQuery killed the rapist on the spot in the shower there would be no: cover-ups and more cover-ups.
And I wouldn't have to feel sorry for all businesses around the campus that are going to suffer.And,debate till I'm blue in the face, if the NCAA sanctions are too severe.Would God be angry if McQuery knocked off the rapist.???

Ezekiel 18:23 NASB

Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord GOD, “ rather than that he should turn from his ways and live?

Ezekiel 33:11 NASB

Say to them, ‘ As I live!’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?’

I'm not sure the question is the correct one to ask here. God sees our situation differently from our views. We can only see the here and now, located right here in our own little corners of the world. We see things in the finite realm. We are born with an innate sense of justice, which such an horrific crime greatly offends. God, however, sees the whole picture in eternity. God is so much bigger than our existence and awareness. While He takes no pleasure in the sin of a human being raping another human being, His perspective of the crime is not the same as ours.

I believe in the death penalty, but I understand that the Biblical purpose of that penalty was more to remove a great sin from the Israelite society rather than anything punitive to the criminal. God is absolutely just in His judgments. He is also absolutely merciful in His mercy. He cannot make mistakes or do anything wrong. We can't even come close to that standard.

[Titus]

Killing him would have put him on the same level as the rapist.He should have done more to ensure that due process took its course. Perhaps if he had punched him out it would have been formally addressed. But if he had killed him, without due process or law, he would have been playing God, deciding on his own who has the right to live or die.

The penalty is absurd a I said in the other thread, they are punishing the students for something they did not do

[Unclaimed Treasure]

No, the students are innocent victims. But when those in authority sin, the innocent often do suffer.

I think so too. The punishments should be on the molester and those who knew and didn't speak and take a stand against it. Speaking, no matter how important or famous the molester was or how the speaking of the truth would impact one's own job security.
