Government is not too good at too many things. But government is very good at killing, in this case, their own citizens via execution. Execution is unjust and futile.
Let the flaming begin...
Execution for murder is just.
Otherwise, the victim's life means nothing to you.
I would argue that the sword is not an instrument for correction but for execution.
Romans 13:4 - "For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer."
Exodus 21:12 - "He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death."
Numbers 35:16-17 “But if someone strikes and kills another person with a piece of iron, it is murder, and the murderer must be executed. Or if someone with a stone in his hand strikes and kills another person, it is murder, and the murderer must be put to death."
Deuteronomy 19:11-12 - "But if out of hate someone lies in wait, assaults and kills a neighbor, and then flees to one of these cities, the killer shall be sent for by the town elders, be brought back from the city, and be handed over to the avenger of blood to die."
Exodus 21:14-17 "But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die."
Numbers 35:30-32 “‘Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses.
Genesis 9:6 "If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image."
I would be very interested in hearing how you arrived at your opinion.
So is killing innocent people by monsters.
You’re not alone. Most people think God is wrong and they know better on lots of things.
