Although previously against the use of torture as an interrogation technique. Once confronted with a man who attempted to blow him up and unable to get answers from the man once in his custody. King James decided to use degrees of torture, to uncover details about a plot that nearly destabilized England.
Of course if they kept playing nice, we never would have known the details and it might have allowed the Jesuits to more easily attempt another plot in the future.

IC: Very interesting. I wish the USA would use some of those “racks” in interrogation of Islamic and other terrorists.
Interesting to see that most of the time, a criminal plotting to commit a crime will fold and spill the beans when simple forms of hard interrogation tactics are used.

Well, it’s likely one day the more effective interrogation techniques will be used. Problem is, they will likely be used against the wrong target. We who don’t want The Mark and would rather not reveal fellow saints that might be in hiding during great tribulation may be the ones on the receiving end. As has been the case in church history.

Great point IC….I have not fear as the Holy Spirit will guide our every word and deed. Praise be to Christ. He is our refuge in time of trouble.
