Cain was the oldest. They both appeared before god bearing their offerings. Abel offering was accepted while Cain offering was rejected by god. Cain Killed Abel, bearing his blood. Because of Cain improper attitude, and lack of true faith God sentenced Cain to life of a vagabond.
A Defense of the Death Penalty Louis P. Pojman The death penalty serves as both a deterrent for would be murderers and a fitting punishment for those who intentionally and out of malice take the life of another human being. Retribution: It is sometimes argued that the death penalty serves as a form of revenge for the victims of heinous crimes. For those who argue from this stance, revenge is never the proper method for assigning punishment because it is done out of anger and with the intent of inflicting harm upon another human being. Vengeance itself is not the basis for designating the death penalty. Instead retribution is justification enough, although it may be accompanied by feelings of anger and hatred.
Was something wrong with the first covenant? Yes, “God found fault with the people” (Hebrews 8:8). “For they broke the covenant by whoring after the gods of stranger of the land, where ever they went and forsake God and in that day He (God) will become angry with them and forsake them”. (Deuteronomy 31:16-18) The people were unable to obey the laws — and since the blessings were conditional on the Israelites’ obedience, the covenant was
The people were out of control and so restraint had to be used against them in order to keep the relative calm. And God Almighty he laid down, Jesus the convicted criminal condemned to death is laid on the cross ready to be nailed to the wood. However, the centurion does not know that Jesus is the Son of Man and Dawe uses the title God Almighty to mock the man. The next line, the third, on the crossed timber and old Silenus, is explaining the deathbed of Jesus, the crossed timber. Silenus is from Roman mythology, the tutor to the minor god Dionysus.
I have concluded from my own life experiences that God is not responsible for evil. I strongly believe in Jehovah the all mighty! I reference the holy bible in Genesis. Evil is in the world not because God created it, but because we are created with free will. Mankind was led astray by Satan who is ultimately the cause for evil.
People die because the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God had warned the first couple that violated God's law which resulted in a spiritual death “sin “but don’t eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because on the day you eat from it, you will die!” Genesis 2:17. Spiritual death, like physical death, was passed on to their descendants, “In the past you were dead because you sinned and fought against God” Ephesians 2:1. “By one man sin entered the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” Romans
The ones who throw the bible at the penalty forget to read certain portions. “The murderer shall surely be put to death” (Numbers 35:16-18) this bible excerpt counters the argument. Abstracting the death penalty and saying it is wrong for the government to take ones life is the wrong way to approach the system. If each case was reviewed in the sense that the victim was a loved one, giving the criminal free room and board would be a harder choice. A claim that human life’s value is diminished when someone is executed is a bold claim.
Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of those that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name! !” – John Proctor (Page 115) John believed that signing his name, was signing a lie. He did not want to be remembered as a friend of the “devil” he didn’t want to have a blackened name.
There is a moral difference between Shelton’s killing of his attackers and that of his other victims. Darby and Ames caused personal harm to Shelton and thus gave him the moral right to try and prevent any other future pain that could be caused by these men, but the other victims were combatants in the war that Shelton waged against the “system”. When looking at Darby and Ames, Shelton takes a more utilitarian approach when dealing with their killings. The government “system” is supposed to punish those who are wrong. But in the trial of Darby and Ames, only Ames was punished severely while Darby was allowed to go free.
Innocent people are getting murdered for a crime they didn’t commit. Gray Gauger was convicted of killing his parents but, after his conviction he was from innocent when the police heard the murders talking about the killing. Recently, Troy Davis was executed after convincing the judicial court he was innocent. There was no proof that he actually murdered the victim, and to this day the prosecutors don’t even feel guilty for executing the wrong person. To add to that most of the innocent people on death penalty were black.
