Read a little further, my son;

"He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to
death."

The views of the "agnostic/athiest [sic]" are irrelevant. We are

It is interesting the different views held by Christians regarding the DP.

I wonder whether the agnostic/athiest view on the dp varies as much? Lets
have a straw poll
I am an athiest and I am against the dp. Any others welcome.

Actually Wayne, the King James Version, and other English versions of
the Bible have mis-translated that Commandment. The actual
interpretation of the Commandment is "Thou shall not murder."

Where do we get these idiots from?
Wayne old pal, had you bothered to read the newsgroup before you jumped
in with your lamebrained comment, (sorry folks, but just how many times
do we have to have this discussion with?) you'd see that many people,
myself included, have posted dozens of Biblical quotations not just
supporting, but COMMANDING the death penalty.

The Bible is possibly the worst source on the planet to quote if you're
anti DP.

The Bible, read literally, is at best ambiguous on the point. As
examples:
In the Old Testament we find: "The soul that sinneth, it shall
die."
(Ezekial 18:20) And in Matthew 10:28, Jesus states: "And fear not them
which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear
him
which is able to destroy both body and soul in hell." Then there is
James
5:20: "(H)e which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall
save a soul from death."
So which kind of death supposedly "commanded" is it that you two
theologians are quarrelling about-- the physical or the figurative one?

Perhaps they are referring to;

death."

The Holy Bible is quite unambiguous on this point, my child.

Have you even read the Bible? Do you not understand that where you are
getting your support for the DP is from the "old covenent" law of the old
testament? Do you not realize that throught Christ the old law passed away?
In fact, in the book of Hebrews, it is admitted that that old system didn't
work! Man messed it up, and they were probably a little bit like you in
their attitudes. Our new command is to be like Christ. When Christ
encountered a woman that deserved the DP during his time at the well, he
showed her mercy, and didn't round up the crowd to kill her. Don't call
yourself a Christian and support the DP. Either call yourself a Jew, or
call yourself a worshipper of the southern baptist way.
By the way, I am Christian and I oppose the DP. The God I serve is well
equipped to deal with those who murder, and only He can make peace with the
victims of murder and those that murder. Let God be the true judge
concerning life and death. We can only prevent others from murdering again.
That crap about Texas not having life without parole is a valid arguement,
but not to kill. They need to have life without parole.

I could hardly call myself a Christian if I did not.

Southern Baptists are Christians. Christians support the just
Death Penalty. See the New Testamant;

Romans 13:1-5

1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no
power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance
of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do
that which is evil, be afraid; for he beateth not the sword in vain;
for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him
that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also
for conscience sake.

> By the way, I am Christian and I oppose the DP.

I will pray for you that you may find the truth.

God does judge the proven murderer in the afterlife. He sends them
to burn in Hell for all eternity.

> We can only prevent others from murdering again.

That is exactly what the just Death Penalty does, my son. It is
the only penalty that assures the proven murderer will never murder
again.

> That crap about Texas not having life without parole is a valid arguement,
> but not to kill. They need to have life without parole.

The Great State of Texas "beateth not the sword in vain".

I'm praying for you. You don't trust in God to judge. You don't seem to
understand that Jesus, who you base your religion on, spared a woman the DP
for a crime deserving of that in that time.
Southern baptists are Christians. Southern baptists support whatever
comes out of Nashville. That is the truth about it. Other christians do
not support the DP.
God does NOT send proven murderers to hell for all eternity. He sends
unrepentent unbelievers to hell, according to the scriptures.
Forget it man. I am praying for you. You might not make it yourself to
heaven. You are probably just poking fun at scriptures anyway, or you are
some backwoods preacher that thinks that he knows everything about
everything yet only carries hate in his heart. You make no sense about
anything.
By the way, I am not your son. People like you disgust me when it comes
to propagating the gospel of peace and love. Maybe you should go to that
church in Kansas where they picket homosexual's graves.

Don here is not really an ordained minister, at least of the legitimate
kind (I admit to the possibility that he was ordained on a website and
paid $10 for a certificate, though I doubt even this, as I'm sure they
have some standards, however basic). He began claiming to be ordained
in early 1997, but has never revealed his denomination, any details
about his "ministry", nor where his "church" is.

It is either a kind of sick humor (he spouts the kind of bilge one
would never hear from a man of the cloth) or he believes, mistaken
though he is, that it lends his views some sort of credibility.

He is not a minister and it is doubtful he is a Christian. As the
Gospel says, by their fruits shall you know them, and Don's postings
are the very essence of rotten fruit. So don't waste your time on this
fake reverend - we all know he's not worth it.

Sincerely,

He was ordained by the Universal Life Church - you can find them at
http://www.ulc.org/ulc/ - several of us have been ordained by them - there
is Rev. AiTCh, myself (Rev. Dave), I believe there is Rev. John Rennie, as
well as Rev. Keischa (my labrador).

I am a Christian and I strongly oppose the death penalty. I do not
belive that we have a right to take another persons life no matter what
their crime may be. It doesn't solve anything. The crime is already
committed. I'm not saying crimes should go unpunished. But I think the
harshest punishment should be life in prison. Our justice system is not
perfect. How many people are on our death rows that are innocent?? How
many have to die? THe entire reason for the penal system is to keep
society's unjust contained. You can contain someone in jail, but you
shouldn't contain them in death.

Listen,you sanctimonious minister ! I was born 1976,that's exactly 31 years
AFTER Hitler.So I don't have ANYTHING to do with that what happened to 6
million Jews.I detest this genocide and the gas chamber.This is absolutely
disgusting,slow and painful.The only method of execution I'd agree is the
firing squad.That reveals what an execution is: a murder legalized by the
government.I don't wanna say that DP is generally bad,sometimes I wish we
had it here in Germany.But the methods used in the US (I'm talking about the
gas ,chair and injection) are only good for to make a show.Sometimes I
think,executions are not for punishment or for protecting society from a
dangerous criminal,but simply for primitive revenge.

Hope this helps you,Reverend !

The Holy Bible demands that proven murderers be justly punished with

assure that they never murder again. Proven murderers are indeed
dispatched by God to burn in a fiery Hell for all eternity. That is
the path they have chosen and who are we to quetion it.

A "'real' minister of the church" did make that comment, my child
and there is nothing "callous" about it. Those who are so eager to
forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Already in the cesspool
that is europe your beloved "ethnic cleansing" is rampant,
unemployment is in the double digits and proven multiple murderers
are being released from "life" sentences in droves. All the while
you ignore the terror that takes place in your own backyard to decry
America's just punishment of proven murderers. You need to open
your eyes, my child, and see the horrors that are all around you.
When you gain maturity and perspective you will join the vast
majority of the world in seeing that the just Death Penalty is the
only appropriate and morally right punishment for those that choose
to murder.

I'm not spanish and I'm not Catholic, my son. You'll have to look

That explains your immature view, my son. Hopefully when you grow

believe that proven murderers should not be justly punished.

There is no such thing as "a murder legalized by the government",
my illiterate goosestepping friend. A murder by definition is an
"illegal homicide committed with malice aforethought". There is no
such thing as a "legalized illegal homicide".

No, a just execution is the only appropriate and morally right

When you kill someone by purpose,it's a murder ! It doesn't make any
difference if a bank robber shoots somebody or a jail officer pushes a
button.

Actually that would be a homicide, my son. If it was done in self
defense, it would be a justifiable homicide. If it was done
illegally, then it could be anything from a manslaughter to a first
degree murder depending upon the circumstances. If it was first
degree murder with special circumstances, then the proven murderer
would deserve the just Death Penalty.

The just execution is the punishment, my son. The proven murderer
is instantly "rehabilitated".

Aha! You certainly don't act by purpose when you kill somebody in self
defense

You know, killfiles have limited utility when every Outlook Express
user and newbie on the group feels compelled to include Kool's ravings
in every reply.

TruckDriver, you can do what you want of course, but keep in mind that
Don Kool has, to my knowledge, never made even a semi-intelligent
reply to anybody's post. He spouts out his offensive nonsense solely
in order to offend people and watch their outraged replies. Most of
us killfiled him long, long ago.

In other words, you're just feeding the troll.

As the New Testament does NOT make provision for a death penalty, and Christ

Interesting comment that, but I think that the real translation is, " Thou
shalt not kill humans " - replacing ' kill ' with ' murder ' is just a play
on words, so that you can avoid posters who call state executions " murder
".

On the contrary, any Christian who favours the death penalty should examine
their belief very carefully. The only Biblical references to the death
penalty are in the Old Testament, and the Old Testament is a historic
review, replaced by the LAW of The New Testament, which preaches Love and
Service - NO death penalty!

This is OLd Testament, and these laws are reprieved.

And in Matthew 10:28, Jesus states: "And fear not them

>which is able to destroy both body and soul in hell."

This is not revelant to the horrific death penalty, it is merely a
statement, not to worry about murderers but about God who is all powerful.

Again this has nothing to do with the death penalty.

As I *DO* know, the Old Testament was not replaced by the New Testament,
rather the two work hand in hand, with the New Testament taking precedence
over the Old Testament where the two are contradictory.

Go to any Roman Catholic mass on a Sunday, and you will hear three
readings - one from the Old Testament, one from the New Testament, and one
from the Gospels. If the Old Testament had been replaced, it would be
relegated to an interesting aspect of history, and would have no place in
our liturgies.

You had better tell the people who lectured me in theology that, as well as

But it was a direct statement recognising that it does happen, without
adding condemnation. You will not find any utterances of Jesus about the DP.

Ok, your turn now. Find something that is directly against the death penalty
in the New Testament. I reserve the right to use the same arguments as you
have though to shoot down your references.

Not at all, my child. The Holy Bible is quite clear in favoring
the just Death Penalty.

Proven murderers never appreciate their punishment. They're all

I think TruckDrivingMan isn't one of these people who have used the gas
chamber during WW 2. You can't blame the young generation for the actions

Don, you should stop writing now, it's getting very silly! You're always the
"best", your country is always the "best", you're language is always the
"best", you're culture is always the "best", you're opinion is always the
"best".

That's very boring, Don. You should concentrate on what you're writing in
the future!

You should understand that every country, also the USA, has done terrible
things. No country is holy!

Hope have things cleared up for you my son!

I'm just curious... are you saying that if I was a "repentant believer" I could
go out and rape little girls and cut up their bodies and then bury the pieces,
but because I "believe" that Jesus died on the cross for my sins (effectively,
I follow your belief system) then I don't have to worry about any punishment in
the afterlife? God will let a person that does such a thing into Heaven simply
for "believing" the Word? I will never understand that train of thought and
that is why I refuse to follow Christianity.

Even killers who abducted, raped, and tortured people to death? I wonder
how you can compare "life in prison" as "punishment" for the crime of
torturing someone to death? Did you know the average # of years that
someone spends in prison for murder is 5 years? That's sick! And quite,
quite often they get out only to murder again! Do you know that the mother
of the Bianca that was killed by Charles Mansons followers had to break her
silence to keep her daughter's killer in jail because she was "eligible for
parole" after the laws in CA changed? The truth is that life in prison can
NEVER be a certain thing but the death penalty CAN!

The firing squad could be painful and slow as well, relatively speaking. What
if you had a bad shot as the executioner(s) and they missed any vital organs or
arteries and the person has to spend a few minutes in agonizing pain before
he/she succumbs? I'm not against that kind of pain, I'm just wondering why you
think that is less "disgusting" than the gas chamber? Not that I know what
happens to a person in a gas chamber, but I'd think it would be like the
injection and the person just goes to sleep.

Anyway, I strongly believe that convicted rapists and killers should be put to
death the same way that they're victims were. In other words, if you raped
someone before killing them, you in turn should get raped (ass raped for the
men) and then put to death in the same manner as you did your victim. And if
you had multiple victims, you should receive the method that the jury (or
victim's family) agrees is the most painful! I can promise you that if this
were the case, if killers had to consider that they might die the same way as
they treat their victims, we'd have alot less murders!

What then are the results of my straw poll? It appears that

Just to insert a little Christian dogma here. The principle of
repenting is encapsulated in the words, "Go, and sin no more."
If the final act of your temporal life is the acceptance of Christ,
your PAST sins are washed away, through baptism, or
the first acceptance of that principle. In fact, the most
grievous sin is to have accepted Christ in the past, but
to not follow the principles of that acceptance in your future
actions. In dogma, Jesus washed away original sin, and
our actions after this acceptance are those of our own
"free will." And, before everyone jumps to their keyboards,
with flaming intentions to commit grievous harm (A sin) to my
person, I must insist this is IMHO, and you may believe what
you wish!

I don't think that you survive five bullets in your chest/head.But firing

That what you're talking about is called revenge,this has nothing to do with
just punishment.I tried to persuade that minister of death (I think we all

Look, I sorry to disagree with you, but that's simply not true. The
Bible is completely ambiguous on the issue, with the Old Testament
supporting it for a wide range of crimes, and the New Testament
teachings of Christ tending to disavow the use of capital punishment.
Like any other pressing social issue, you can make a case for both
sides of an argument cut from biblical cloth.

I am a Christian and opposed to the death penalty, but it is a matter
of individual conscience, not dogma. A reasonable, Christian person
can differ - I'd think them wrong, but not cast aspersions on their
faithfulness to their beliefs. I'd cast aspersions on "The Reverend"
McDonald's beliefs, but that is for entirely different reasons.

As a Christian, Florian, love and respect your brethren. You cannot
know for sure what is inside a man's heart - only He who knows all
things can.

Sincerely,

Dave Proctor

Firstly, the is no "Christian Church". Secondly, it is not against the rules
of any of the Christian denominations. Whilst most encourage their members
to be against the DP, it is left as a matter for the individuals conscience.

No, we use the same Holy Bible that has been around for thousands

that he die, shall be surely put to death."

Everyone else has known it for quite some time, my malodorous
european friend. Now that you've seen the light, I'm sure you'll do
the right thing and become a vocal supporter of the just Death
Penalty for proven murderers. After all, the just Death Penalty is
the only appropriate and morally right punishment for those that
choose to murder.

Hope this helps,

The facts remain the facts, my unwashed european friend. Sadly one
fact that you're unwilling to face is that the just Death Penalty is


the only appropriate and morally right punishment for those that
choose to murder.

It is you europeans who embrace your beloved "ethnic cleansing"
so. It is you who chose to throw open the jailhouse doors and foist
dozens of proven multiple murderers onto an unsuspecting populace.
Proven multiple murderers who's most fervent stated wish is, 'to
have killed more people'.

That must be why "the young generation" is paying millions in

Quite right there are no references where Jesus either supported or opposed
the death penalty, however, the BIble talks of ' men being known by the
fruits they bear ', looking at Jesus' attituted to life, His preaching Love
and Service, it would seem conclusive that He was anti death sentences.

Christ's attitude toward people who should have been executed, the Whore for
example. Jesus said that it was the law that she should be stoned to death,
and she was guilty, however, let he that is innocent throw the first
stone!!!

There is no such thing as "state murder [sic]", my illiterate
friend. A murder is by definition illegal.

An interesting hypothesis. Of course no one will ever know as
there is no such thing as "true LWOP [sic]".

Not necessarily. His words "Give unto Caeser that which is Caesers, give
unto God that which is God's" shows He recognised the difference between
spiritual authority and temporal authority, and that neither is superior or
subservient to the other. It would have been quite easy for Him to make a
definitive statement against the DP, particularly when He was being
crucified. He did not do so.

Now this is not to say that He was in support of the DP, but it is
impossible to say that He was against it as well. All it does is add to the
ambiguity, as acknowledged by theologians through the centuries.

Actuall,y it was "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." At the
time there was no concept of the forgiveness of sins, in fact the concept
was anathema to the Jewish people (still is I believe) so there would not
have been one person there who was without sin.

The point of that exercise was to demonstrate that people should be
forgiven. This is not to say that they can be excused from their earthly
penalties, however. An example of this is PP John Paul II, who forgave the
man who tried to assassinate him. As head of state of Vatican City (where
the offence occurred) he also had the power to pardon him, and this he did
not do. It is an example of forgiving (which is what Christ was
demonstrating with the adulteress) whilst still inflicting earthly penalties
(which is the DP).

Actually the state derives its power from the people, and since all that is
needed is a simple majority, the DP is legalized murder by the government
for the people. And as log as there is a majority the law will remian the
same.

Being a Texan, the joy is knowing that a sick individual has been dealt with
and no longer poses a threat to society. The symptoms of a sick society is
one where no one is held accountable to their victim. In Texas the Victims
family can watch the execution and have what most have said is a closure.
The sick socities in Europe have LWOP and the criminal outlivs the victims
relatives in some cases. Truly a sad state of affairs.

LWOP is too easy Death at least puts the criminal in a certain situation
where they can feel the fear their victims went through, the really great
part is that the criminal knows he is here because of his or her actions.
If he or she was not such a piece of murdering shit, they would not be
strapped to a table making a final statement. So in a nutshell the DP is
the great equalizer, it brings the criminal to the primal level of fear that
their victims went through.

Not in the United States (the greatest country on the face of the
Earth, BTW). Here there has not been even a single case of an
"innocent" man being mistakenly executed since reintroduction of the
just Death Penalty in the late 1970s.

Think before you post. What is (5+life+death)/3? You cannot calculate
averages on things that are not numeric like life sentences. When those
averages are calculated life and death sentences are simply ignored.
