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
