As a former student of American Law and Procedures, one of my earlier life's ambitions was to become a lawyer, to help set right the many wrongs instituted in the South and, yet, much aspired to in the North where I lived then and now! Later, I became convinced that in order to be a successful lawyer, one has to bend the truth, or eliminate it altogether.

As I'm sure you know, the Bible presents many Books, Chapters and verses with which we can relate. However, for the sake of this discussion, I'm going to inculcate both the Old and the New Testaments, more specifically, Numbers the 35th Chapter, and Romans the 13th Chapter as my primary sources of understanding. At Numbers, 35th Chapter verses 1-34, GOD sets up HIS Judiciary Body, as well as remedies towards execution. Then, at Romans the 13th Chapter, to me, Paul shows to what extent this "Old Law" is still very much in force.

Needless to say, you are free to reveal any scriptures you feel either supports or goes against the institution of Capital Punishment today! For me, the key is in the "headline" question itself!
