Capital Punishment

To all those who want to scream that the scriptures supporting the death penalty is Old Testament then let me remind you that the TEN COMMANDMENTS are also Old Testament so if you are going to throw out the laws of the Old Testament then you are left with little to live by. The new age religion has no problem with "God is love." God is harsh too. If you want to overlook the scriptures that bother you then you cannot call yourself a Christian because you are writing your own Bible.

Three Good Reasons for Supporting the Death Penalty

In the year 1993 alone, over 18,000 people were arrested for murder in the United States. Yet, in the past twenty years, there have been less than 300 executions. Today there are over 2,500 murderers on "death row", but less than fifty of them will be executed this year. That's 15,000 to 20,000 murders per year with less than fifty executions!

Although eighty percent of Americans still favor the death penalty, many are beginning to have second thoughts as the liberal establishment marches ahead with it's never-ending crusade against morality, freedom and justice.

For the few Americans who still believe that God's opinion is more valuable than anything any news network or politician has ever said, we'd like to present the straight honest Biblical facts about murder and capital punishment.

As you read the forthcoming words, please remain mindful of the fact that the words in bold type are not the words or interpretations of men, but they are rather the inspired words of Almighty God. You are expected (by God) to believe them.
