Proofs:
In the New Testament when
Peter in defense of bis Lord, took his |
sword and smote off the ear of one of
ths men who was wickedly arresting /
Christ to Peter, said: Put M again !
thv sword into his place, for all they
that take the sword shall perish with |
tbe sword. I" Matt 9652, which pass |
ace references to Gen $50, where |
God imposed death penalty for muir
der, to Noah, a preacher OF righteous
ness. . Pet. 2:5, which shows that the
bible publishers saw that this New
Testament death penalty referred to.l
the one with Noah. =. This also
shows that Christ, in the New, ap-
proved of the death penalty in the Old
Tpstament 8. 1t also shows that
Christ transferred Capital Punish
mept'' to the New Testament, and in
ooxrorated its Law into the New Tes-
lament as a part and parcel of its
Law. in the very beginning OF the
New. 4, The only reasons why Peter
was not executed were that he did
NOT know when be smote off the ear
that Christ was going to transfer the
death peualty to the New, and more
esnerially because Christ healed the
ear, thereby repairing all damages,
In the very nature of things it be-
hooved Christ to incorporate death
nenalty for murder into the New les
lament because in no other way could
eonal iusti ce be meeted out to the
murderer. 6 That Christ was with
God in imposing death penalty upon
the murderer to Moab, we know by
the Hebrew word translated "God"
in Gen. 9:1, for it is "Elohiym,"
meaning all three Persons in the God
head. and in no other way than by
still retaining the death penalty could
Christ show that He was Jesus
Christ, the same yesterday. and today,
and fo,eyer." Heb. 1873, for if He
changed on death penalty so as to alb
olisb it, He had greatly changed from
what He was with Noah. 7. In no
other way than by retaining death
nenalty in New Testament could
Christ prove that Jehovah, His Father,
changed not as He declared in NAL
achi 3:6 Adjustment of death penal-
tv would have changed both God a I'd
Christ and so we know death penalty
still stands in Gods word, and in the
New Testament part of it, at that. be-
cause 90 taught by Christ's own words.
I'll That the death penalty for MUIR
der will remain in Gods New Testa-
ment down to the very hour of His
judgement, Rev. AT, is clearly
set forth by the Revelation of Jesus
Christ to John, the beloved disciple,
Rev. III, for He carried John in the
Shirt to that hour, and there said
Gle that leadeth into captivity shall
go into captivity; he tbat killeth with
the sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and faitt
of the saints " Rev 1910. From
these words of Christ we learn: I
That He who is the Alpha and thu
Omega, the Beginning and the End,
Rev 22:13, of the death penalty fol
murder, who began it with Moan
will not end it till the Judgemen
Day, until all men are where they car
no more MURDER. Q That he wit
killeth with the sword must be kiliet
with the sword, because only in thl
way can we all keep ourselves from
becoming partakers of the murder AM
thereby preventing ourselves from be
coming equally guilty with the aetna
murderer. 3 The murderer mus
