Happy Valentine's Day, though I'm a bit late, was kinda busy the last few days. I'm not even supposed to be on my com, with my homework less than half done. But I really had an urge to 'write' about this topic - The death sentence, for it being on my mind for quite a long time already. For those who read my blog for my life, wait a while more.. haha, I still have undone tutorials.

The Old testament, which is really really old, really, had a lot of death sentences. And they were so severe that God struck them down himself. Laws in those times were very strict. If you don't watch yourself, you might end up blind, toothless, or limbs missing. The basic rule was- An eye for an eye. Anything you do wrong will be done to you. So I'm guessing many people died breaking laws. If we lived in those times, we'll probably be dead now.

But now, what I'm trying to say is, regardless of whether you refer to the Old testament or not, life is God-given, and He is the only person who can take it away. You would know my view now, that I do not agree with the death sentence. We no longer live in the Old testament, but the New. Jesus died so that we can be free of that bondage to laws. Our sins are forgiven the moment we commit them (of course you don't take it for granted). But his shows that God is willing to lets us live even after we sin. Somewhere in Romans, it says that if we break one law, or one commandment, it is considered as we broke all the other laws. If we lie, it means we've also committed murder, etc. Then should we all be subject to the death sentence? I will repeat, that only God can take away lives sonce He is the creator. Even committing suicide is sinning as we have no right to destroy God's creation, not to mention his greatest creation - humans. This is why I believe the death sentence is not justified for.
