Oklahoma will execute Richard Glossip Wednesday — even though his guilt is in doubt - Vox As a believer in Yahusha , whom we Christians call Christ Jesus we are taught to be fair and just. That life is precious , and when this earthly life ends there is an eternal life we can choose to have and somehow we 'go through Christ' to get there. Exactly what that means is kind of a mystery..... as a Christian, one is to believe in the repentant sinner and if one does one harm one is to pray for their salvation. That does not mean if one has done others harm to others some kind of making things right in some way should not occur.
The Bible in the first few books, which Christ taught from and other faiths hold it as part of their book of faith, also teaches that the shedding of innocent blood is a curse. And when it is done in the name of a society or government then we have put ourselves under a curse. Old Testament law teaches that that curse can last for 10 generations. Of course in Christ we can be redeemed in our own generation by each individuals personal redemption. But even then what our forefathers (and mothers) did does impact our lives. as history whether a family history , or society's history knows the family history and one has to reconciled them selves to things that were done that were wrong, but one must learn from the mistakes of the past and not repeat them. We honor those who gave us life and nation and inheritance of culture, but we are to follow the good and over come the imperfections of ones who went on before. But when a wrong occurs, its not easy to over come it. when an innocent person dies at the hands of others, then that is a wrong that can not be made right in this earthly existence, and we all have to understand that whatever good that person might have been able to do on this planet is missing and the rest of us have to try and make up for it.
Its one reason I have rejected the death penalty. HOW DOES ANY ONE KNOW THAT THE PERSON IS GUILTY OF THE CRIME TO BE EXECUTED? Even if one did the deed, one may have been in a category where the charge should have been life imprisonment or a lesser number of years. our legal system does cover a lot of degrees of guilt and how bad the act was based on the intent of the doer. It does seem that 'overcharging' of the crime goes on a lot. and when it ends a person's life, we as a society bear the 'curse' of that.
There is a trend to 'get rid of those who seem a nuisance to our conscience; which is one man reason Christ, and innocent, was crucified. As a Christian, belief is HE was only part man, and HE rose from the dead.
All of us are sinners, but very few have done things to be arrested and even fewer have taken anther's life and face execution for it. It says a lot about the goodness of people that so few are in that category.
IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT AT ALL, THOSE IN POWER NEED TO PUT A HALT TO ENDING A LIFE UNTIL THE MATTER CAN BE THOROUGHLY SORTED OUT. Even if the one in power was an eye witness to the death; one still needs to assess the other matters of whys, etc, that can mean no execution but still prison, etc. HOW DOES ONE JUDGE THE HEART OF ANOTHER?
And that is done to day by juries and lots of experts in a trial, etc. Imperfect humans , again, trying the judge the heart of another.
Each time, there seems to be some real doubt, and often the convicted, could not afford a ;dream team of lawyers to make sure all was brought out for the whole truth to be known, Its when those in highest authority have the power to step in and make amends for real injustice.
Life is precious and what harm does it do to allow a few weeks, so that the raised issues get a proper review in a courtroom , or new trial, etc. If one executes one who should not be, then the curse of blood spilt is more horrendous than a little extra time and money spent.
Our society ,still has the death penalty and the amount of money spent for that sentence and trying to over come it by all with rights to do so. is harming all of society as its a tremendous expense. If one is innocent of a crime and is not facing death, them one can pursue truth and evidence to clear. one.
However, the innocent should not be facing sentences. We are imperfect humans and I do think the statistical average may well apply here at the minimum of at least 5% innocent and maybe up to 25% or more overcharged. of regular crimes. Little attention is paid to the non death crimes and yet innocent lives are ruined here also. And terrible hardships beyond what one should endure for overcharging.. and the inequality of our justice is often having the money for a defense. ONE LIFE IS WORTH ALL.
Physical death is final. A WRONG MADE CANNOT BE MADE RIGHT.
So until we do away with the sentence of execution in the USA, we need to dig for the whole truth and make sure its justified. And those in power to stop and pause for a searching for truth needs to do it for the soul of the people in general. I plead for it to be done. Not just in this one case, but in all.
Often the money is not there to search for the whole truth until nearer the execution date and then resources are offered to do the discovery. We make a mockery of justice when that new info does not get a proper hearing as our society 'soul relies on it.
Society seems to allow a few; 'monsters' to be raised in it and wee have not figured out how to not let that occur yet. And they go to the death penalty , unrepentant of their sins. As a Christian what do we do when the person to be executed has done the deed and has repented of their sins and is not the same person that they were when the did take a life?
THEN THERE ARE SOME WHO SEEM TO BE INNOCENT AND NEED TO HAVE SOME ATTENTION BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM FOR THAT TO BE CONSIDERED. AND A FEW HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE INNOCENT AFTER SOCIETY SHED THEIR INNOCENT BLOOD AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT AS WE HAVE ALL BECOME GUILTY AS A SOCIETY FOR THAT ULTIMATE SIN OF DEATH ITSELF. And if prosecutors, etc. committed the sin of not being fair and just initially, then they are as guilty as the one who took the life, for they are now taking a life also. Their repentance is for allowing a full hearing of evidence so the whole truth can be considered. Allow some time.....DEATH CANNOT BE MADE RIGHT IF ITS WRONG.
Slept off and on for over 24 hours as been so busy with trying to save my life and our families having our medical care obstructed. Thanks to all of our doctors who are trying to care for us. in this chaos created by hacking in to systems that are not permitted to be altered by any one. But when no one is permitted to know who the insurance is that is to be the primary, then its impossible.
PRESIDENT LYNN BLODGETT of Xerox Management Services. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ORDER MY EMPLOYMENT BE DELETED FROM THE 'COMMON WORKING FILE; FOR HEALTH CARE AS YOU ARE NOT THE ONE TO TERMINATE ME AND DO IT BI WEEKLY AFTER THE US DEPT OF LABOR HAS TO REHIRE ME AND POSTS THAT I AM. YOU ARE NOT MY EMPLOYER WHERE IS MY DUE PROCESS NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO TERMINATE ME? .AND WHY DOES EMBLEM HEALTH INTERNATIONAL GOING ALONG WITH YOUR VERBAL WORD AS THE 'GOSPEL TRUTH' WITH NO AUTHORITY TO DO SO AS THEY SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH CMS THEY WOULD NOT ALTER THE POSTINGS FROM ONES EMPLOYER.
And its time that all review the HHS policy of not being in charge. of employment matters. Of course HHS was my employer when injured and SSA was part of that until just at the time I transferred to US Department of Labor jurisdiction which is the official one over me when one is under FECA. That workers compensation law over rides all the others. and I am quoting the General Counsel for Office of Personal Management. on this who personally straightened me out on this when the rest WHO DID NOT KNOW OR DID NOT WISH OTHERS TO KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH, had nearly convinced me that I was retired because I was not going to work daily.
One of the strongest laws we have is for the rights of injured workers and we should not give up those so easily. Its part of the incentive for employers to provide a safe work site and not have to pay higher premiums to an insurer or government entities have find bigger budgets for injuries that could be prevented with safe work sites. And now to cut costs, have hired one of Pres. Blodgett's companies to pay the claims and control the cost and medical care being cut seems to be the answer and NO REGARD FOR PRECIOUS LIFE OF EACH WORKER OR THE ONES WHO DEPEND ON THEIR WAGES.
The curse of shedding of innocent blood, may well be manifested through an over all loss of sense of justice and fairness and regard for each human life being a precious soul. W all become less than what the human family is to be.
