Not double jeopardy. That’s nonsense. Yes, Jesus died for all, but all are not saved, because all do not accept him. And even if a convict accept the Lord, they still must pay for their crimes on this earth; they’ll get their reward in Heaven.

There is nothing wrong with executing this evil man. You sound like a liberal. Talk to the victims family and see how they feel.

Because vets are doctors. The guys doing the injection at the pen are not. Doctors/nurses refuse to participate in executions.

Then find doctors and nurses who do abortions. They're used to killing people.

In a room of pure nitrogen, it wouldn’t light.

Not against capital punishment. Biblically it was the guilty party who was stoned( put to death) by family or friends.

The thing that is torturous is the length of time from a guilty verdict to death.

Make it quick. The “not guilty” cannot run to a city of refuge like the old days and plea their case before the judge(s).

I don’t know how to speed a bureaucracy and probably a lot of the tribal Jews of old also had a hard time putting the guilty to death as written in God’s law.

That’s my chief complaint, speed it up because waiting decades on death row is a thousand deaths.

One of the other posts said the N2 isn’t put in there all at once. It takes time to go from 78% N2 to 100%. So it would light.

“I believe Nitrogen will create the same symptoms as “The Bends”, experienced by SCUBA divers after ascending too fast.”

you believe wrong because you are ignorant ... google “the bends” and you’ll learn something ...

The Bends results breathing highly compressed nitrogen that dissolves into the blood and tissues when a diver stays under very deep water for an excessive period of time but then suddenly ascends without slowly outgassing the dissolved nitrogen, resulting in billions of nitrogen bubbles suddenly forming in the tissues ... think of the bubbles that happen when you shake up a soda pop and take the cap off ... THAT’S what happens in the bends ....

breathing pure nitrogen at normal atmospheric pressure does none of that, but simply deprives the body of oxygen, resulting in death due to hypoxia ... it’s actually a very quick and painless death ... really TOO quick and painless for those sentenced for horrendous and gruesome murder ...

God’s covenant has not changed that much. Try reading it sometime instead of continuously pulling verses out of context. (Did you read Romans 13:4?)

Does it look like the time has come when God wrote His law on the hearts of people en masse? More like it’s when Jesus foretold things being like “the days of Noah” again (Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:36).

Another verse you might want to consider is Ecclesiastes 8:11.

Not addressing the morality of capital punishment, but, if eliminating pain is the objective, bleeding out isn’t particularly painful.

How many double negatives are in that statement? I have no idea what you just said.

LOL! I thought so too, but I didn’t have time right then to revise it! Try this:

I don’t believe I know anyone who would condone an “unjust” death penalty!

No, the issue is punishment, not pain. Someone else already suffered the full punishment for that crime. (The “scapegoat” concept shown by 1500 years of Jewish temple tradition.)

And it sidesteps a potential legal challenge because half of them are in there for crimes committed trying to get drugs. You’re just giving them the thing they were trying to get.
