    He seems to be indicating that it's not necessary for the sin to be judged and the price for it to be paid.

    It depends.

    Should Paul have been tried and convicted for being an accessory to murder. By our courts standard, probably. But God made Paul a different person.

    My logic is if you punch me in the face I do not have to punch somebody in the face to forgive you.

    I agree that God does not make mistakes. He will not punish the just to forgive the unjust.

    No, what he did was legal as he was given authority. He brought them to the authorities. Not sure why that needs explaining.

    irrelevant

    No. We are talking about divine justice. That you believe Paul was in the right to contribute to the stoning on Stephen is a bit off.
