The Supreme Court is going to hear a case that says lethal injection of a condemned murderer is cruel and unusual punishment. In the state of Tennessee, a Federal Judge has declared lethal injection to be unconstitutional. What is so amazing about all this is how they have been doing these executions by this method since 1976 and 41 years later it is now unconstitutional?
I suppose that if the Supreme Court declares lethal injection unconstitutional they will also have to throw out those cases where this method of execution was used. How is it to be redressed in regard to the executed?
With regard to the Federal Judge that declared the Tennessee law unconstitutional, he is biased against capital punishment. What does it matter whether or not a convicted murderer feels any pain when he dies? The end result is he is dead and cannot report back whether or not he suffered anything. We do not care for his welfare. He has forfeited his right to life when he took someone else’s life from them.
What is forgotten in all of this legal wrangling is the original victim or victims of murder. All murderers are cowards. This whole affair of using the judicial process to delay their executions proves this. They have no regard for anyone else’s life other than their own. They are selfish in the extreme.
Let us go back to the original victim. Did they suffer and feel any pain while they were being murdered? Suppose that they survived an initial attack by several days and then died. Were they suffering pain during this time period? On top of this, these murderers gave the death penalty to the innocent. The government is to give the death penalty to the guilty.
God’s method of capital punishment is death by stoning. Does being stoned cause any pain to the convicted criminal? Obviously, God cares little about the comfort of the murderer. He actually wants them to feel pain. He wants them to know that they deserve this violence and it is also designed as a deterrent to keep others from doing the same thing because being stoned to death will be the result.
An example is found at Deuteronomy 21:18-21, "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."
Evil is to be done away with. The men are to be the ones that carry out the actual punishment. Those who do like things will get the same treatment. There is no appeal to a Supreme Court that lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment. Stones would hurt much worse and the pain would be longer than with lethal injection. So our government has more concern for the welfare of murderers than God does. This shows how far from the Bible this country is.
Justice is being hamstrung by this lethal injection argument and what is being used is the humanist document, the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment. God has given the appropriate punishment for each crime in the Bible. All government’s punishments are to conform to this pattern, not to man’s failed attempt at justice.
A case law found at Deuteronomy 19:16-21, "If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; 17Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 18And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 19Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. 20And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. 17Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 18And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 19Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. 20And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. 21And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."
God’s punishments are appropriate to the crime. The Federal Judge that declared the lethal injection unconstitutional in Tennessee is showing pity to the murderer. He is doing what God has forbidden. The Bible is clear that the punishment for murder is the death penalty. This is the concept of life for a life. This punishment fits the crime perfectly. It matters little the method as long as the death of the murderer is carried out.
What is being argued about here is a method and not about the substance of what the murderer has done. Rehearse over and over again about what the murderer has done. Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines "cruel" as, "Disposed to give pain to others, in body or mind; willing or pleased to torment, vex or afflict; inhuman; destitute of pity, compassion or kindness; fierce; ferocious; savage; barbarous; hardhearted." This definition is the epitome of a murderer. If anyone is guilty of cruel and unusual punishment, it is the murderer.
Why was the eighth amendment put in the Constitution in the first place? I believe that if you answer this question, you will find that it was to overcome Biblical punishments that were in force at that time in history. Fallen man hates God and His law and His punishments. Fallen man is more concerned with the comfort of convicted murderers rather than for their victims. This amendment has made justice lame.
