It does not compute that the spilling of innocent Blood/Murder "Justifies" Capital Punishment? What.........those that rape and murder children should be allowed to walk this life as slaves to the state (spending between 31-60K per year in prison) with 3 meals and a cot, free medical care for life, entertainment at the expense of the tax payer?
Its clear, "For surely your blood of your lives I will require; at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whosoever sheddeth man's blood; by man shall his blood be shed, for man is made in the image of God................" -- Gensis 9:5-6
And carried forth in the New Testament, "For he (government) is the minister of God to thee for good. But if you do evil; be afraid; FOR HE (government) DOES NOT BEAR THE SWORD IN VAIN (capital punishement)..............(Romans 13:4)
Again its simple. The scriptures do not teach that self defense or justifiable death sentences are not allowed. The Christ even told His disciples to sell their shoes if necessary in order to ARM THEMSELVES when He sent them in lands that was frequented by robbers, thieves and murderers (Luke 22:31-34) Self defense of life is Justifiable
There is quite a difference (that you can't seem to comprehend) between justice and the criminal element and the act of Murdering the innocent.
There shall NOT MURDER. Not even yourself. Its a sin................how can you repent of any sin if you are dead?
FYI: Pets are not human.........they are not made in the Image of God (in a spiritual sense) with a soul that goes back to God the creator at death. The difference? The spirit of Man goes back to God, the spirit of an animal goes back to the earth from which it came, "Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth." -- Eccl 3:21. No animal can be guilty of murder or sin......because they do not have the capacity to understand THE LAW.........but Man's spirit goes back to God for Judgement, man can and does have the capacity for ciritical independent thought in reasoning between RIGHT AND WRONG.
Have you ever heard of the Law of the Excluded Middle? Or a Logical Fallacy? How about Circular Logic?
