Start executing the murderers and that will make an impression on those who would
engage in such activities. Make it an unpleasant experience to murder people and
the activity will lose its attraction.
Yes I Agree , and so does the bible, but man is afried to use it.
The deterrent effect of the death penalty is muted because of current practices. But even
basic understanding of human nature tells us that, if administered properly, the death penalty
would have a significant deterrent effect!
“He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death” (Exodus 21:12).
Hebrews 12:5-6 that for our own good those who commit wrong must be corrected.
Correction is the God-given means to prevent crime and other problems. Using strong
correction FORCES CHANGE in criminals convicted of lesser offenses and eliminates
entirely the threat of those convicted of violent crimes such as murder.
“Punishment, when meted out in the proper manner, and at the proper time, is one of the
greatest blessings a human being—at any age—can receive!” The reason is that if we do
not receive correction, we will proceed on a course to our own destruction (Proverbs 14:12).
Through correction, God can steer us in the path toward a happy, fulfilled life.
Our modern permissive society, we have “substituted INDULGENCE for discipline.”
The result is our prisons are overflowing and our society is inundated in violent crime.
“And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king,
let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death,
or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.”
As parents and as a society, we are not to “spare for his crying” by lessening the
punishment. Proverbs13:24 admonishes us, “He who spares his rod hates his son,
but he who loves him DISCIPLINES HIM PROMPTLY” .
For the good of society and the individual, swift, stern justice must be meted
out when wrongs are brought to light.
Ecclesiastes 8:11 tells us the importance of swift punishment when it says,
“Because sentence againstan evil work is not EXECUTED SPEEDILY,
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to DO EVIL.”
How clear and wise! When wrongdoing is not immediately punished, then all
or almost all of the deterrent value to any subsequent punishment is lost!
The criminal mind does not respect authority. The only thing such a person respects is
equal or stronger FORCE! And when that strong force is used immediately to severely
punish an offender, it makes others of like mind think twice before acting likewise.

“Whoever kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the testimony of witnes-
ses; but one witness is not sufficient testimony against a person for the death penalty”
“Whoever is worthy of death shall be put to death on the testimony of two or three
witnesses, but he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness” .
But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is
God’s minister, an AVENGER TO EXECUTE WRATH on him who practices evil”
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid
of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
Matthew 26:52, “for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”
Likewise, Jesus Christ inspired the Apostle John (Revelation 1:1) to write in
Revelation 13:10, “he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.”

“When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise,” and
“Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware” (Proverbs 21:11; 19:25).
Because of childs rights, we parents can not displine kids, like the bible says to.
Just go to a busy shopping center, to see the terrors of the next generation.
