Alabama Has a Horrible New Way of Killing People on Death Row

After botching a series of executions by lethal injection, the State of Alabama is planning to use nitrogen gas to put condemned prisoners to death. The first execution will amount to a human experiment, because neither Alabama nor any other state has ever tried to kill people this way.

Late last month, prison guards distributed the state’s new execution protocol to prisoners in solitary confinement on Alabama’s death row. One hundred and sixty men and five women await execution in Alabama. They would be secured to a gurney, their nose and mouth would be covered by a mask, and nitrogen would be pumped into their lungs until they suffocate.

Alabama is seeking to conduct the first such experiment on Kenneth Eugene Smith, who already survived a botched execution. Last November, Mr. Smith spent hours strapped to a lethal-injection gurney as the execution team needled around in several locations to insert two intravenous lines without success, before calling off the execution

Experiment?

How about the experiment with the vaccines? How about all the adverse reactions? How about even less testing for the boosters?

How about lithium batteries that catch on fire?

You say the same things Paul's critics who didn't understand grace said 2000 years ago.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Romans 6:1-2.

At lease back then, they had as excuse - nobody had ever heard of the Gospel of the New Covenant of the Grace of Christ which God revealed to Paul.

But today, there's no excuse. You have the detailed Books of Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews and 2/3rds of the New Testament from which to study, learn, and understand.

advocating for endangering the lives of other inmates and guards

Common, man, you cannot be serious. Kill 'em all because you're not smart enough to figure out how to isolate dangerous criminals from the rest of the inmate population?

Sadness.

Paul wrote those letters to Believers, not the world. It is you who doesn't understand that not everyone has the grace of forgiveness.

Romans 6:1-2 portrays the opposition Paul faced, mostly from Jews, most of whom were NOT believers. Either way, your objection to the Gospel of the New Covenant of the Grace of Christ is the same objection they had against the revelation of God’s grace Paul had received from the Lord.

Romans 6:1-2 portrays the opposition Paul faced, mostly from Jews, most of whom were NOT believers.

They weren't believers?! LOLOL The letter was written to the believers in Rome.

Romans 6:1-4

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

I will not debate with you further. You twist to suit your premise.

[Jim W N]

Romans 6:1-2 is Paul explaining to the Romans the objections to grace that he faced. Don’t you get that? What do you think Romans 6:1-2 is?

Your objection is the same as the objection Paul faced as he portrays in Romans 6:1-2. And Scripture’s answer to you is the same as Paul’s answer to them - the answer you laid out in you last response, but fail to comprehend how it refutes the objections about sinning willy-nilly.
