Like I said, breaking the Law makes you a criminal, you get nothing special for obeying the law. That's just how it is.

Are you that worried that it will all crumble if people don't stay within the lines you've prepared? You should be. I don't know whether or not any of them are good people, I only know that they have all, ostensibly, committed crimes. I hear Robin Hood was pretty decent, but he's a theif...so....?
So you can't admit that a rapist, murderer, or thief are bad people? hmmm, very telling, why do you believe God is bad again? If Robin robbed the poor and gave to the rich, would he still be a decent fellow? So why is he considered a decent person because he robs rich people and gives to poor?

Ok, show me where the Law is discretionary...

Glad we have a better legal system. Seriously though, why are we still discussing this, shouldn't you be packing?
The same goes for the law of God, there is no compassion, only justice. If the penalty for sin is death, then his hands are tied, if you commit sin, you die, period.
But through the grace of Jesus Christ you are exempted from the penalty of death.
Who's we?
