CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
is OF THE MOST HIGH AND
HOLY GOD

PROOFS:
1 The Most High and Holy God was
so determined to put Himself on record
as favoring Capital Punishment" for
murder, that He, S57 years before giving
the Law TO Moses, did, by His own
mouth, enact law OF " Capital Punish
ment" to Noah, and all his posterity,
down to all countries, in all ages of the
world. which includes US, in these words:
But flesh with the life thereaf, 71Atch
is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
"And surely your blood Of your lives
will / require: at the hand Of every
beast will require it, and at the hand
Of man; at the hand OF every mans
brother will require the life OF man.
Whose sheddeth mans blood by man
shall his blood be she'd for in the image
of God made he man." (Gen. 9; 4, 81,
and If God required the life Of a beast
to be taken for killing an innocent man,
and he does, so does be require the put
ting to death of all brain storm" crazy
men, and OF idiots for same crime,
because all these know better as we'll as
the beast does, and better, too, yet our
courts have exempted all these chsrac-
ters on the grounds of ignorance, to our
detriment in bringing the curses Of
God upon US and our country in many
ways.
q. To His servant this Most High
and Holy God says: Hear the word OF
My mouth, and warn them from me-:
and again he says: Give ear, ye
heavens, and will speak, and hear, o
earth, the words of My mouth" and the
words of His mouth, S57 years after He
gave the ca pital punishment to Noah, to
Moses said: "He that smiteth a man,
SO that he die, shall be surely put
to DEATH" and: "He that smiteth his
father, or his mother, shall be surely put
to DEATH" sand he that stealeth
man, and selleth him, or il he be found
in his hand, he shall surely be put to
death" And he that cnrseth his father
or his mother, shall surely be put to
DEATH" Thou shalt give life for life,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for
hand, foot for foot, burning for burning,
wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
"If an OK gore man or woman, that
they die; then the OK shall be surely
stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten;
but the owner of the OK shall be quit
"But If the OK were wont to push with
his horn in time past, and 1t hath been
testified to his owner and he hath not
kept him in, but that he hath killed a
hdH VI WOudHs buo VA . Oh 10 ooOhON'
and his owner also shall be put to
DEATH" (Exo. 81 IL, 29) and II both
the OK and his owner be put to death for
the ox's killing, we know the owner be-
came partaker and equally guilty with
the OK by his criminal carelessness, and
so all people who oppose capital pun
become equally guilty with All
10 urderers, in their murders, and Will
have to answer to God
3. Only one kind of human killing
lid God excuse, and tha5 was uninten-
tional, ACCIDENTAL killing. and He ex-
,used it only in this way. The acciden- |
,al killer had to flee to one of the cities
If refuge, there remain, away from his
family and home until the death of the |
High Priest, but If the avenger OF blood |
caught him outside of the city Of refuge !
before death of the High Priest, and
Stayed him, the aveDger Of blood was
not guilty of his blood, Mum. 35; 27),
because he ought to have remained in
,he city of refuge, and If God thus dealt
with ACCIDENTAL killings we know He
would require the death of willful
murderer, just as the words OF His
mouth say. And we further know that
he requires all peoples to so do, too.
md we furthermore know that ALL of
Gods people are in favor of capital
like God is.
