not if they commit a crime, i expect everyone to mess up in one fashion or another. these people who tortured didn't mess up, they willingly tortured and killed to do what they thought God wanted, God never said to do such a thing. if you are assuming that Christians are to never mess up or go to jail your wrong. i sin allot in my head, and if i start backsliding and falling away from what i have learned, i will definitely do something stupid, guaranteed. burning people at the stake, gouging eyes out, tearing people limb from limb or any other method of torture to make someone repent isn't backsliding, it's downright satanic.
