To Dr.Feelgood: Is your moral entirely tied to law? That what it at least seems to be. What if for example drugs would become legal, would you still think drug users/dealers deserve to die?
Yes, biblical law. I wish America followed the Word of God, but our values are slowly being eroded by maleficent forces. There are plenty of evil people deserve to die who don't, and I completely support the execution of drug dealers/users. I believe drugs are harmful to our society.
The atonement for blood is blood, as written in the Bible. You don't have the right to take your or someone else's life.
A. Those sentences are mutually contradictory.
B. The USA, if you are talking about the USA, is a secular state, as can be shown from the establishment clause, so what the bible has to say is meaningless when it comes to law.
Murder is a sin. Executing a murderer is a righteous act. One has divine justification and the other is the act of an animal who needs to be put down. America is a Christian nation founded by Christians. The fact that certain people are trying to corrupt our values and usurp our country is troubling.
The state has the authority to execute its people.
Every person has an immutable right to live.
I don't believe all life is precious. And I see no problem with killing in self-defense, during a war, or executing a dangerous criminal for the good of the people.
The atonement for blood is blood, as written in the Bible.
Where in the bible is this from? To be specific, I want to know if it is from the old testament or the new testament. A lot of the stuff in the old testament was superseded by stuff from the new testament.
Book of Genesis. God is unchanging and his laws are perfect (Psalm 19:7 & Malachi 3:6). And Jesus wasn't sent to change the law, but to fulfill it. Matthew 5:17-18
