Smith / BY THE WAY . . . £ (Continued from Page 1) not be executed regardless of how heinous his crime may be be cause “God created man in hi? own image, in the image of God creat ed he him.” (Genesis 1:27) Was not this small, blonde 6-year-old girl a child of God*? She was chok ed, beaten, and raped by a sex fiend whose pregnant wife report edly helped him lure the innocent child into his car and who j«.c and watched the assault on the scream ing youngster. And when he com- pletL-d, his inhuman deed, the wife, herseii bringing a life into the world allegedly killed the child with several savage blows with a tire iron. The husband has been sentenced to death. Words and words and words may be written, but no plea in favor of the death penalty can be more horribly elo quent than the sight of the batter ed, sexually assaulted body of this child, truly a “child of God.” The proponents of “rehabilita tion” for all murderers quote those portions of the Bible which they believe support their lavender-and- old-lace world where evil is neith er recognized nor allowed. But the Bible clearly reveals that enforce ment of moral justice is nothing new to our age. In fact, in refer ring to man as the “image of God,” the Old Testament, so freely quoted by opponents of the death ^penalty, also states, ‘'Whoso shed- deth man’s blood, by man shall his bipod be shed: for in the image of i God made he man.” (Genesis 9:6) There are many passages in the Old Testament which refer to capital punishment being neces sary to enforce the laws of society. Since the Old Testament was writ ten about and to a nation while the New .Testament was written to individuals and to a nonpolitical body known as the Church, there is a difference in emphasis and approach. Certainly, however, the moral laws of the Old Testament remain with us today. Misguided do-gooders frequently, quote the Sixth Com m andment, “Thou shalt not kill,” to prove that capital punishment is wrong. This Commandment in the 20th chapter, verse 13, of Exodus has also been 4 interpreted to mean: “Thou shalt do no murder.” Then the 21st chapter, verse 12, says, “He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.” We can no more change the application to our society of this basic law in the Old Testament than we can change the meaning of Leviticus 19:18: “thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself,” which / Jesus quoted in the New Testament. To “love thy neighbor” is to Rinehart, Prof. Elliott (manager) Scotty Elliott, Luther Fowler, Joe Sanders, Doyle Long.
