Death Penalty

1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
9And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Matthew 14: 1- 12


Do not judge so that you will not be judged.

Matthew 7:1


If man is created from the image of God, a creature created from perfection, then why is it that man sometimes could be very cruel? Are criminals’ products of their own? Do all of their actions and crimes must only be blamed to them? The society itself is the greatest factor in the outcome of the lives of its people. I am not saying that we just let the criminals do their heinous crimes but who we are to decide on the continuance of the life of a person. If we consider crimes as a disease we might think of the criminal as a sick person that needs only to be rehabilitated. If He is threat to society then he must be taken away from the society and not ending his life. Even a person in solitude can create many wonderful things.
