Why do people think that the death penalty should never be applied? Think you are going to kill someone or a family member of yours will kill someone? Should Hitler have got to live despite everything he did?

Being put in prison is just as barbaric as being killed. I would rather die than live the rest of my life in a jail cell. Now my conclusion is jumping to you favoring torture over murder?

say that when someone's about to put thousands of volts through you.

I don't prefer torture. I just don't think killing people is a good thing to do. especially in the name of 'justice'

good point. seems i read details into it which weren't there. I've always thought of killing people as wrong. even if they ARE bad people. otherwise i would have done a lot of killing

I agree with you that killing is something that we good folk don’t do.

You have to understand that the Ten Commandments were first given to add degree to sin.
After that: then the judgment.
Then: the penalty of death.
Then: payment for the transgression of it.

It can be looked at as four steps:

1. Introduction of the law
2. Weight of the law upon our shoulders
3. Penalty for the transgression
4. Payment required for the transgression and forgiveness.

So, the bible says that if we break one commandment, we are guilty of breaking all the commandments.
So, what is the difference between stealing and killing?



No one comamment is above the other.


No difference because they are both looked at as sin.

Sin than is a transgression of the law.

Who than can keep the whole law? I mean if I break one, I am guilty of breaking them all right?
I give up! I’d say. Who then can be saved? No one: according to the law.

If I steal, I am guilty of killing also. If I dishonor my parents I am guilty of stealing and killing also.

My point is this: That to obey the commandments for salvation one must place one’s faith on the one that fulfilled them all to a “T” for our sake’s and took the penalty of death away from us.

So killing must be in the heart of the evil doer, and not in the heart of the good folk.

For us good folk, killing is not in our hearts to do.

But, there it is, But, a society has a right to institute the death penalty for the sake of eradicating an evil deed which is like a cancer to the body.

To imprison it in the body runs the risk of escaping and doing further damage to the body.

The more evil cancer cells running amuck in the body, the sooner death will come to that body.

In Canada are laws are to lenient. (another reason I support Harper). Our system aids the criminal not the victim. Its supposed to be equal. But I end up always seeing a lean to the criminals side with petty sentences.

If victims are constantly denied rightful justice, then we will see vigilante justice.

Ok, say this. If someone murdered my mother, and they got something like 5 years. If I had the oppurtunity I would probably murder that criminal.

I am serious. If justice wasn't served for me, and I had a chance to serve it, I might just go through with that.

Apply that to yourselves, if your closest loved one was killed, and they got a petty sentence, would you not kill them if the oppurtunity was there?

I think ALOT of people would literally consider it.

Death penalty saves alot of time and money. And serves proper justice in some circumstances.

Rate now our "judges" are dispicable.. not all, but quite a few. I read weekly about a family devestated and breaking down in court, because of leanient sentences.

This is a lil off topic, but sort of the same branch of topic: our nation does not punish our criminals at appropriate rates.

Now in the USA, they are sometimes a bit over-the-top with sentences, but to me, they are fair, with there criminals. We are lenient on our criminals.
