Heinous Crime Penalty: Death?

Other death penalties meted out to criminals and political prisoners, including those falsely accused or made as scapegoats. Above images show the manner of death they went through.

In the early centuries, Christians who did not give up their faith in Christianity were persecuted, tortured and killed by torching them or fed to lions as an entertainment in the sports arena.

In the later centuries, colonizing countries subjected the people who went against them to tortures or killed them by firing squad, Just like Jose Rizal, the Philippines' national hero who was executed in 1896.

Then the use of the guillotine, hanging, electric chair were introduced, all subjecting the criminals to emotional torture and death. Then come the lethal injection, which is considered the most humane form of execution of the condemned person.

Heinous crimes proliferate worldwide: massacre, rape and most of the time the victims end up killed to avoid identification; plunder because of greed; kidnap for ransom because of greed and slothfulness. Do they merit punishment of death?

What does the Bible says about death penalty?

          Genesis 9:6 

Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in His image. – 

Exodus 21:12 

“Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.

James 4:12 

There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

Romans 12:19 
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
If a person sin,  it opens up an entry to the soul of the sinning person by the dark forces who will entice the person to commit
further sin/s especially if they are under the influence of prohibited drugs. They could easily be possessed to commit heinous crime.

You would notice that when the perpetrator is apprehended, he has a blank state, does not seem to be himself.

The dark forces do not want to be identified, otherwise, we would believe their presence. A lot is happening in the spiritual realm. There are demonic forces. If there is Jesus Christ who is ready to help us by calling  Him, there is Satan, the anti Christ, the adversary of  Jesus.  ("The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." - Psalm 145:18 & "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near." - Isaiah 55:6)

During rapture, Jesus and His Holy Spirit will depart from earth. When this happens, it will be too late to repent.

There will be chaos, and the demons that are bound up will be released on earth,

If we repent sincerely of our sins, demon/s exit from our body. Use the power of the name of our Lord Jesus. 
Please read the testimony of Emmanuel Eni who had an encounter with Satan and the Lord Jesus in the spirit world.

The Lord Jesus Loves His sheep, one found lost sheep, angels rejoice in heaven. 

What we need is moral and spiritual regeneration, always ask God to purify our nation and to strengthen us to combat Satan

For nearly 44 years, our God has been warning us to repent. He does not want His sheep lost eternally to Satan. He grieves for hard-headed unbelievers, and the lukewarm Christians. He could not be faulted if the losts are destined eternally in the kingdom of terrible suffering - hell,  because all chances were given through the prophets and visionaries on earth.

The second coming of Jesus can no longer be postponed because all would be lost because of the cunning of the master deceiver, Satan.

Daily prayer is needed not only for yourself, but also for the lost.
REPENT AND FORGIVE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRONGED YOU. LEARN WHAT IS THE WILL OF HE FATHER IN HEAVEN THROUGH THE RELIABLE BIBLE, NOT THE DILUTED ONES.

Love God above all else and:

Love your neighbor as yourself! 
If we all abide by these commandments, only then would peace reign on earth.
