So there's been another murder. I just saw this article about 10 minutes ago Teens Guilty Of Murdering Boy 'Lured' To Park And Fatally Stabbed - Bing News , but I was provoked to comment on a more general aspect of murder. This post is more of a knee-jerk reaction than anything else. When I read of the article I immediately thought of Genesis 9 which says:
"And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of Elohim
has Elohim made mankind."
Those of you who are familiar with your Bible's will recall that when Abel was killed by Cain, his blood cried from the ground and Yahweh heard it (Genesis 4:10). This earth can be polluted with blood, but especially that of the innocent being killed. We as human beings have been given the right by Yahweh to administer the death penalty to those who have killed another innocent human being. This is justice because you cannot recover a person from death once he is killed. You have robbed that person of a life. His hopes, his dreams are now no more.
Now I know I'm getting in to the subject of the death penalty and I know I am probably in the minority by saying that I believe in the death penalty, but I believe that this is justice.
Anyway, in terms of this article I really am appalled. But we hear about so many murders nowadays. Why? Because people don't love. Yahshua instructed us to love our enemies. To be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves. In this news article, Oliver Stephens, 13, was pronounced dead at Bugs Bottom field in Emmer Green, Reading, on 3 January after being persuaded to go to the park by a 14-year-old girl, where he was "ambushed" by the two boys, Reading Crown Court heard. The trio had messaged on Snapchat in the days before the stabbing, and the older boy had written: "I actually hate the kid with a passion - if I was to see him right now I'd probably end up killing him."
It takes my breath away that people can be so evil. I ask, when will Yahshua return to establish His Kingdom on this earth? If this isn't love growing cold as described in Matthew 24:12, I don't know what is. This world is growing colder and it's because the Bible has been thrown out on the garbage heap of the ages. And I know I may be ranting a bit here but if lawyers were insistent on finding the truth as the Bible teaches and trying the individuals according to the truth, wouldn't that be so much better than rather lawyers trying to find loopholes and ways to twist the facts to exonerate their clients. Get the truth, then try the perpetrators of the crime according to Yahweh's Law.
Oliver's parents have lost a son. A son that died in such a cowardly way. Tricked by a 14-year old girl and ambushed by some low-lives who held a grudge. We're finding more and more examples of these type of murders. And unfortunately, the sentence against these people will no doubt be far undeserving than what the Biblical Law requires.
