Hey, Brother,
Thank you for reading, and for your thoughtful response. It may take me a while to think through what you've said...
Assuming you understand my intent, how might you more correctly reword my sentence? Would this be accurate?:
"It was clearly morally evil of Pilate to command Jesus' execution."
Do you agree with my subsequent statement?:
"Pilate had no moral authority to execute Jesus, but he had sovereignly granted power."
Thanks for your insights.
