'understand'. 10 Why did God used this term Capeesh (also spelled as kapeesh, capish, kapish)? From the movie: Godfather (God, The Father ... get it?)

Question: Where in the bible did you state that the death penalty is wrong?

God’s answer:

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (John 8:7)

Meaning: God is referring to the story of the stoning of the adulterous woman (John 8). In the story, Jesus abolished the death penalty, instead replaced it with Mercy. In the story, God did not condemn the woman death but sentenced her to a life of change (Go and sin no more). Meaning, the goal of justice should be to rehabilitate--- make someone a better person not to put someone to death either by death penalty or letting them rot in jail. One does not give up on one's brother or sister. In all the analysis paralysis of the bible ---WE MISSED THIS ONE.

Question: Since the death penalty is wrong, if the justice/prison system wherein a person resides goes against your teaching, should the church (or people in general) still hand over a criminal over to the law?

God’s answer:

Turn them in but ask Me to be their attorney.

Question: Please confirm.

God’s answer:

'Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her.' Then he bent down and continued writing on the ground.

1578

When they heard this they went away one by one, beginning with the eldest, until the last one had gone and Jesus was left alone with the woman, who remained in the middle.

Jesus again straightened up and said, 'Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?'

'No one, sir,' she replied. 'Neither do I condemn you,' said Jesus. 'Go away, and from this moment sin no more.' (John 8: 1-11)

I make a powerful case.

Then added:

This person shall do his time.
He will not get off scot-free.

Meaning: Jesus saved the adulterous woman from death but sentenced her to a life of change.

Question: So, with you as this person’s lawyer, what will the outcome be?

God’s answer:

He shall sin no more.
I have yet to lose a case.

Meaning: God will make sure this person goes to a true correctional facility. With God, there are no hopeless cases, everyone can turn over a new leaf.

Question: Please give a strong confirmation/ closing message.

God’s answer:

My closing argument
I always go for a win/win.
