''Top O' The Morn.
To Ya!''..
Lets rub the sand out of your O'l Glims and go
grab
that 'First' Cup
O' Joe!''
Now,..Put the
''Dogs Out'',..Lock the Doors,.. Pull the Shades Closed and
Put that
''Shot-Gun'' by your Coffee-Pot!,..Were going to talk about a very
''Controversial Subject this Morning...''Is Capital Punishment Biblical?''
Yup!,..The O'l
'Eye for an Eye' as it is said!..
Allot of cases
being set forth in the ''Judicial System'',...Yes ''Execute''...
No!..Don't
Execute,..
Its the ''Law'',..no,..its
''Inhumane''..they might suffer!
 ...Hmmm!
O.K....Point taken
except this ''Humane'' point....Was it ''Humane'' how the Victims were
treated before their ''Tragic'' end,..How Much did they Suffer?!..
Society,..How soon
they forget the ''Fear'' of a Child or any One when they ''Brutally Killed''
at the hands of another,.. Until it is ''One of Their Own''
O.K...I'm going
off to the Left there,.So I'll Stick to ''Scripture'' and the ''Law of the
Land'' according to the Bible AND to God!...
Genisis..9:5-6...''And
from each man too, I will demand an accounting for the Life of his fellow
man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed,..for in
the image of God has God made man.''
Said ''Right from
Scripture'' according to the ''Word of God''..and that is what we
call..''The Law of the Land''...
No ''Loop
Holes'',..no 'Legal Wrangling',.. no room to Argue!
That passage not
only predates Mosaic Law, but it demands universal
adherence to the
sanctity of life.
In
'Exodus-21'..and '..Deuteronomy-19'... the Bible reaffirms Gods perspective
on 'Capital Punishment'.
To ''Murder'' a
Creation of God not only shows 'Contempt' for God's Creation but also shows
contempt for the Creator Himself.
The ''First
Murder'' recorded was when ''Cain Killed Able'',..who were the sons
''Adam and Eve''...
In the 'New
Testament'',..Jesus acknowledged the legitimacy of capital punishment before
Pilate..''John-19:11''..
Even on the
''Cross'' one of the 'Convicts' confessed...''We are Punished justly,
for we are getting
what our deeds deserve''...''Luke-23:41''.
Yes,..there are
cases where it is ''Justified''...War...Self Defense..etc. But that is up to
the ''Courts''..a Judge and a Jury of your peers.
In short,..God
instituted ''Capital Punishment'' in the most earliest stages of human
civilization Before the ''Mosaic Law''..so it appears to be an
enduring moral principle in the sanctity of Life.
''Cruel and
Unusual?''...Ask the 'Victims' first!..
O.K.,..Open up the
Curtains and let them ''Watchdogs'' in,..Put Your O'l ''Pee-Shooter'' away
now and get a ''Refill'' on that Cold Cup O' Joe!..
Enough said,..The
''Bible'' says it all!...I mean ''God'' said it,..I Believe Him!
I leave you with
this ''Parable''...
''When Satan
strikes,..Strike back with the 'Word of God!''
''If we know the
truth,..we can discern what is false''
May God Hold All
of You Close to His Heart in these Trying Times,..
Sherrie and I Pray
for All of You,..Won't You Stop for a Second and do the same?..Just say a
''Little Thank you'' to The Father,..He will Bless You for it!
May We Always be
able to Say..''May God Bless America!''..and Our Troops who are in ''Harms
Way''..For it is in..''God WeTrust!''... ''OOORRRAAAH!''
Pastor Frank..the
''Preacher'' and Sherrie
