The death penalty- is it appropriate?
All love is here, the asking of an important question - the ethics or efficacy of using death as a deterrent to crime and as a punishment.
Indeed, in your prison system there is nothing but death - prisons are warehouses designed to kill the soul, thus all your prison inmates have a death sentence - a sentence of hopelessness and degradation.
Thus, the important issue for your penal system is not the death penalty, it is the purpose of incarceration itself, issues about how to treat, care for and rehabilitate those who have strayed off the path for whatever reason - how to reach and care for those who have gone astray.
Hopelessness and degradation are counterproductive, do not assist God, and are not forms of love in their present state. The means God would use with those who must be confined in prisons - must be confined because of their danger to others, to society - would be to attempt to rehabilitate inmates, to reach out to them, to assist those who wish to be rehabilitated.
Death is a final punishment, but is also a release - simply a release.
To heal a life, make it more positive, that is the true aim of a reformatory or penal system.
Is abortion wrong?
All love is here, asking about abortion, the termination of a fetus’ life before birth.
Indeed, abortion has many good justifications, including preserving the health of the mother, and most importantly addressing the desirability of the birth for the future parents.
For the true sin is neglect of the infant after birth, communicating to the infant that it's unwanted and undesirable. Not caring properly for the life after birth is the sin.
Abortion can have great positive value in preventing a life of abuse and neglect, and abortion ultimately is an individual decision.
The love of a life after it's born is the important consideration, the crux of your human existence.
Is there a conflict between science and spiritual teachings?
All love is here the asking of an important question, the relationship between the scientific reality and the spiritual realm.
Indeed the scientific and the spiritual are two separate though intertwined realities. The scientific pertains to the physical universe you inhabit as a soul.
The spiritual realm is governed not by scientifc principals, but by love and energies unknown and unknowable through scientific methods of inquiry.
There is no conflict. Science is accurate within the realities it describes, but the spiritual is a reality beyond the tools and methods of science. Science is good and useful in the physical plane and is quite compatible with God's principals of creation as manifested in your universe.
There is no conflict, just different areas of knowledge.
