Romans 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
God has declared the primary duty of government is the suppression of evil by capital punishment. When the state fails to inspire fear in evil-doers, the evil-doers will become emboldened in their escapades. Eventually they will become so bold as to become the dominant force in society, even becoming the government itself.
An illustration of the state failing to use the sword of justice was graphically illustrated not long ago in Jerusalem. It is well known a Palestinian terrorist went on the rampage with a bulldozer killing and injuring quite a number of people, eventually the terrorist was shot dead.
What is not commonly known is the terrorist was shot dead by a citizen who had to take a gun from a police officer because the police were not willing to shoot the attempted mass-murderer. It is thought the ramifications of a police officer shooting a Palestinain terrorist is much to unpleasant for any police officer to take the risk.
However, if you happen to be a law abiding Israeli living in what the world calls "the occupied territories," the police can treat you as they like and no one will care!
