The distinction God makes between a murder and other killings is clear. While we may not agree with the way our government uses the death penalty there can be no debate as to its validity. Those guilty of murder may indeed be deserving of death but even so our attitude about it should be that of God: "Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death" (Numbers 35:31).
