Society must obey each individual from the community deliberately denies a person the right to life, the denying person, in turn, must give up his or her right to life. If the violation of life is done persistently, then the person must pay the ultimate penalty. The punishment shows the community that murder is intolerable and the punishment shows the murderer exactly how life is honored. The murderer found the need to take one s life from society, so society needs to take the life of the murderer. Love is not denied to someone who wrongs in his or her life, no matter how severe the matter is.
Love is ever persistent.
Restraining murderers permanently keeps murders from doing harm to individuals and the community. Capital punishment promotes further vengeance, which is not a teaching in Christianity. Overcrowded prisons and the rise in crime call for more serious punishment for more severe crimes. Morality has been on the decline generation after generation. Acts of violence become less tolerable each generation.
