On The Taking Of Another Human Life

Recently I've added this for when, and if, I can get my own way during any point in time.  I must not kill a person until I know a person.  I don't even know myself (have you made a single mistake today?)  that is enough to justify the fact being embedded in you that you aren't worthy to kill someone.  The exemption to this is two fold.  If God directly tells you to end someone's life...let me bring forth some biblical examples for this first:

Me: Does it say anywhere in the bible that God told someone to put someone else to death?

Google Gemini:

Yes, there are several instances in the Bible where God commands or instructs individuals or the community to put specific people to death for various transgressions. These instances are primarily found in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, which contain the laws given to the Israelites.

Here are some examples:

Exodus 21:12: "Whoever strikes a person so that he dies shall surely be put to death." This establishes the death penalty for intentional homicide.

Exodus 22:19: "Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death." This prescribes the death penalty for bestiality.

Leviticus 20:10: "If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." This mandates the death penalty for adultery.

Leviticus 24:16: "Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the name, shall be put to death." This commands the death penalty for blasphemy.

Numbers 15:32-36: A man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath, which was forbidden. God instructed Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp." This illustrates a direct command from God resulting in a death sentence.

Deuteronomy 13:6-10: This passage outlines the process for dealing with individuals who entice others to worship other gods, commanding that they be stoned to death by the community after a thorough investigation.

Deuteronomy 17:2-7: Similarly, this passage details the procedure for dealing with those found worshiping other gods, again mandating stoning by the community based on the testimony of witnesses.

It's important to note that these instances are within the specific historical and legal context of the Old Testament covenant between God and the nation of Israel. Interpretations of these passages and their applicability in different contexts are subjects of ongoing theological discussion.

In the New Testament, while Jesus emphasizes mercy, forgiveness, and love, and often challenges the strict application of the Old Testament law, he does not explicitly revoke the instances where God commanded the death penalty in the Old Testament. The focus shifts towards spiritual death and life, and the ultimate judgment is left in God's hands. However, the historical record within the Bible clearly indicates instances where God instructed the putting to death of individuals for specific transgressions under the Old Testament law.

[***Not good enough Google Gemini...I delved into the good book myself:

As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to him and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”  -(Mark10:17-19)***]

...second it's written down in the laws of my kin the jews that someone should be put to death.  My reason for these two exemptions is that you aren't really the person doing it.  You are an agent who is acting in the most perfect alignment with The Living God of Israel towards Him executing justice within this world.  

1.  There was a case where someone was in a group of people in the wild and they ended up eating them.  The group members had already decided to perform this betrayal and so, for this very special case, I would say that they weren't really killing someone.  They were starving in the wilds and the whole teams survival depended upon it.  The investigation into whether or not this is the truth has a possibility of being inferred from previous cases and testimonies of those who have been there...this brings up the topic of using a lie detector test for court.  If we are at the point where some lawyers have decided to make entire videos with regard to their clients then how can we justify not making use of a lie detector test to at least give it some weight in the court system of The United States Of America?  I disagree with the fact that a lie detector test isn't useful in court.  It is a measurement of lying and when combined with other more reliable forms of witnesses, it could be useful.  For example, how curious are they about possibly trying to fool the system?  Is our groups technology supreme enough that we can uncover any lie without the possibility of them trying to go against the system?  And even if they do, then they have just lied and have made things even worse for them by breaking 2 commandments from The LORD our God.  They have not only lied to one another but have bared false witness against their neighbor.  With simply a small insight into the methods of detecting a lie, there is a possibility of gaining what can be described as being equal to having a witness in an ideal world.

Here is an example of another flaw in the system while I'm on the topic:

Paraphrasing O.J. Simpson: "Look see the glove fits, therefore it must not have been used by me! *sweat drops*."

Why would a billionaire football player/actor have a sudden jolt of force towards a planned murder himself and then purchase gloves at the drop of a hat that aren't even comfortable enough to carry out one of the most hated of crimes of his country?
