Murderer Executed, As Bible Commands

Transcript:

Is capital punishment biblical? Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. White supremacist Daniel Lewis Lee was executed Monday for the torrture and murder of an Arkansas family, including an eight year old girl. In 1996, Lee shot them to death, put plastic bags over their heads, weighed down their bodies with rocks, and dumped them in an Illinois bayou. God says in Genesis 9, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” Taking the life of an innocent human being is such a severe breach of the law of God and man that the murderer must be required to forfeit his own life in the interest of justice. The only question is why did our government take 24 years to put this guy to death? If justice delayed is justice denied, the families and friends of these victims were denied justice for far too long.
