“For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die…”  (Acts 25)

“Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the [I]mage of God made [H]e man.

 

This writer is a great supporter of the death penalty and he is a great enemy to abortion.  The liberal mindset cannot see the difference between the two (2) positions. The liberal sees aa contradiction in terms.  To the independent and objective thinker it is simple….the former is guilty of a crime worthy of death and the latter is an innocent and helpless life!!!

God is very clear on the death penalty. In the Old Testament, the very first order God gave Noah, after the flood: If a man sheds the blood of another man, the shedder of blood shall be executed period!!!  God instituted the Avenger of Blood to this end.  If a man kills another, a kin of the murdered was allowed by God to hunt the murderer down and execute the killer, HOWEVER, if the avenger of blood take personal satisfaction from the execution, he has become a murderer and can be hunted, in turn.
Someone might ask, how could the avenger of blood not take personal satisfaction from the execution of his kin’s killer.  Again, the liberal mindset cannot understand this, but some persons are able to think objectively and are not servants and slaves to their changing emotions.

Why should a murderer be killed summarily? (Summarily meaning right now)
*God says so….bottom line.
*Murder can be addictive as it gives the killer a sense of god-like power, ask the FBI.
*It would act as a deterrent.
*It would advance public safety.
*It would make a statement…Life is precious.
*It is a universal principle, if one takes a life, that killer has forfeit his own life.
*It would unite society behind a healthy principle…at least the sound thinkers in the society.
*Capital punishment sends the killer to God for judgment.

We heard about an illegal alien killing two (2) police officers.  The killer said he would kill more police if he could. Why should this agent of wickedness cumber the ground any longer?  Why should this person remain here and alive when he poses an obvious threat?  If I were king for the day, we would give this man a trial, when he is found guilty he would be taken immediately to the town square and he would be given the Gospel opportunity, and then executed then and there.

Others with hate (hate grows into murder or murder grows from hate) in their heart would take note and may change their course. The shedding of innocent blood is one (1) of the seven (7) things God hates.

Again murder can be addictive.  When a dog gets the taste of human blood, the dog is put down. This is why, methinks, the dinosaurs were put down in the flood.  After the fall, animals began to eat other animals and that includes dinosaurs. Once the dinosaurs had the taste of blood, like a dog, it would be on the hunt and mankind would stand no chance. Therefore the dinosaurs had to be put down by God. That’s my theory, anyway.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth…is a principle equal to punishment fitting a crime.  An absurd example:
X pokes A’s eye out and in return, A cuts X’s arm off. Eye for an eye was to keep justice balanced. Therefore, Life for life fits the principle.

I am familiar with the liberal argument: many persons have been falsely imprisoned and it would be a great injustice if an innocent man was ever executed.  In capital punishment cases, there must be no doubt, evidence must be solid, DNA, and other techniques can assure the bleeding heart that the guy is “the guy.”

What is confusing is, generally speaking,  the persons that are pro-choice are also anti-capital punishment. This is a species of calling evil good and good evil.  Kill the innocent and helpless and save the depraved and criminal minded….Readers, how does that make any sense at all?
It may seem contradictory to say, holding up life as precious must include terminating the lives of those that take life, but it is not. To uphold life we, as a people, must extinguish the life of him who would end the life or lives of others.

God in the books of Genesis, Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy institutes capital punishment. Paul, in the New Testament, refuses not to die if he has done something worthy of death.  As it is established in Scripture that a truth must be validated by two (2) or three (3) witnesses in order to be accepted as truth, we certainly have two (2) sound and very credible witnesses.  The Old and the New Testament call for capital punishment. God and His Apostle both call for capital punishment.

Christ, when He teaches us to render to Caesar that which is Caesar’s He laid down a principle.  We are not only to pay our taxes, which is the context, but we are to leave the government to do it’s job, which is to protect the nation and it’s people from threats, foreign and domestic, this would include protecting us from killers on the street. To protect the nation and it’s people from killers on the street the killers must be dispatched…not locked away, but dispatched to their eternal destiny.

I know the Arminian thinker would hold out hope for the killers salvation, thus canceling out capital punishment in their minds. One cannot put up a hope or a wish against the clear and revealed will of God.

What think ye?

Godspeed.
