†. Gen 9:5 . . But for your own life-blood I will require a reckoning: I
will require it of every beast; of man, too, will I require a reckoning
for human life, of every man for that of his fellow man!

Noah's Law #2 : Capital Punishment; viz: retribution for the unjustified
death of a human being. This law is also a universal law and applies to every
family of Man and Beast that descends from the ark; no exceptions. The
Bible requires an investigation into the death of a human being whenever it
is caused by another human being or by a member of the animal kingdom. If
the killing cannot be justified, the perpetrator has to be executed at the
hands of human beings: no exceptions.

†. Gen 9:6a . .Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his
blood be shed;

The death penalty here in Gen 9:6 is mandatory only for murder; which
Webster's defines as: the crime of unlawfully killing a person; especially with
malice aforethought. The key word in that definition is "unlawfully"

Capital punishment for murder isn't optional. The word "shall" indicates a
mandate: and anybody who thinks they're in step with God while actively
opposing the death penalty has another think coming.

Some people are flabbergasted at the idea that Christians would believe in
the death penalty. Well, I am flabbergasted that anybody might think that
Christianity's Christ, a genetic Jew born under the jurisdiction of Moses'
covenanted law (Gal 4:4) and underwent his religion's ritual circumcision
(Lev 12:3, Luke 2:21) would frown upon his Father's mandates or, worse,
organize a rebellion against either Moses or against Almighty God's
sovereign authority (Gal 5:3).

. John 8:29 . .The one who sent me is with me; He has not left me alone,
for I always do what pleases Him.

. John 10:30 . . I and my Father are unified.

Christianity's Christ was the most compliant Jew who ever lived. He never
even one time violated his Father's law nor encouraged others to do so; and
had he done so, he would have demoted himself to the status of least in the
kingdom of heaven.

. Mtt 5:18-19 . . I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not
the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means
disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who
breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do
the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever
practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of
heaven.

†. Gen 9:6b . . For in His image did God make man.

Because of man's status as God's image, human life has a certain degree of
sanctity attached to it so that murdering a human being is just as serious as
murdering one of the creator's own children; ergo: refusal to enforce the
death penalty undervalues the person of Almighty God. In addition: Those
who oppose the death penalty oppose God's feelings about it. They have put
themselves in Satan's place, and play Satan, by openly and actively rebelling
against the holy mandates of creation's God.

Leaders have a responsibility to Almighty God to protect their country's
sanctity. Murder pollutes the land; and the land stays that way until the
murderer is apprehended and executed. In effect then, the murderer's death
becomes the country's redemption, and his death is the only atonement that
will satisfy the justice of God in such cases. A number of Americans pride
themselves as a God-fearing nation; and on its money is printed: In God We
Trust. Yet America is grossly negligent in complying with Almighty God's
sovereign edict to execute murderers.

So don't ever let anyone tell you capital punishment for murder is wrong.
Capital punishment for murder isn't wrong; au contraire, capital punishment
for murder is divine.

. Num 35:31-34 . .You may not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer
who is guilty of a capital crime; he must be put to death. Nor may you
accept ransom in lieu of flight to a city of refuge, enabling one to return to
live on his land before the death of the priest. You shall not pollute the land
in which you live; for blood pollutes the land, and the land can have no
expiation for blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it.

. Ex 21:12-14 . . He who fatally strikes a man shall be put to death. If he
did not do it by design, but it came about by an act of God, I will assign you
a place to which he can flee. When a man schemes against another and kills
him treacherously, you shall take him from My very altar to be put to death.

Had not Christ been in agreement with those two laws; he would have
incurred a curse upon himself.

. Deut 27:26 . . Cursed is anyone who does not affirm the terms of this law
by obeying them.

Capital punishment's primary purpose isn't to deter murder, but to even the
score. The scales of justice don't balance when a murderer is permitted to
live out their life after unlawfully abridging another's. That simply isn't fair
by anyone's standards: neither God's nor Man's.
