The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - Capital Punishment Can Never Restore The Person Who Was Murdered

00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.

00:00:01.940 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives

00:00:06.920 on raising young children

00:00:08.520 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

00:00:10.560 Praise God for you and that endeavor.

00:00:13.680 However, algorithms are a thing.

00:00:16.200 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.

00:00:18.760 And one major way that you can help to expand

00:00:21.600 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry

00:00:24.000 that doesn't cost you a dime

00:00:25.720 is by spending just a few moments

00:00:28.060 leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our

00:00:34.840 podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.

00:00:41.640 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of

00:00:46.720 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. When it comes to capital punishment, it's not even so

00:00:54.760 much that we're saying that this is just. Because the goal of certain civil codes and penalties for

00:01:03.600 crimes is always restitution. That's the goal, right? So if someone steals, according to God's

00:01:11.800 law, the punishment for theft is not that you chop off one of their hands, as pagan cultures

00:01:19.460 in pagan countries do still to this day that's actually a perversion of justice because what

00:01:25.020 you've actually done is you've just taken from that individual their ability to work and make

00:01:30.560 the person they've stolen from whole to actually provide restitution now in biblical law

00:01:37.380 the way to to offer restitution for for instance the crime of theft is is to pay back double

00:01:47.260 what you stole because the person not only needs to receive back what was taken but there's also

00:01:54.680 the sense of of that wealth that capital whatever it was whether it was sheep or oxen or whether it

00:02:00.540 was cash gold that that could have been invested that could have been working for them they could

00:02:06.280 have been doing something with that so double restitution is the just penalty according to

00:02:11.640 the law of God for theft. But when it comes to murder, taking someone's life, what Gary North

00:02:19.640 said was that it's not as though that person now, their life has been forfeited. You take a life,

00:02:25.900 you forfeit your own. That is true, but that doesn't make the person whole because that person

00:02:31.520 can't be made whole. Murder is such an injustice, such a grave wickedness that it actually cannot

00:02:42.640 be made whole in this life. The grieving family cannot receive any degree of restitution that

00:02:48.880 would ever make it right. And so because it cannot be made whole in this life, restitution cannot be

00:02:56.680 truly made, what we must do is immediately, therefore, transfer the perpetrator to a higher

00:03:03.300 court. That's capital punishment. We can't make this right on earth. What they've done is too

00:03:10.900 heinous, too evil. So we have to send them along to a higher court. We have to send them before the

00:03:20.000 throne of God. They have forfeited their life, and that doesn't make it right. Their punishment will

00:03:27.020 continue forever, forever, apart from repentance and faith in Jesus. Can I be frank with you for

00:03:36.980 just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this

00:03:41.900 ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However,

00:03:48.640 some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.

00:03:55.080 Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our

00:04:01.860 totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have

00:04:10.240 written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition

00:04:16.120 of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling

00:04:23.080 to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at

00:04:30.100 this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please,

00:04:37.500 if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your

00:04:43.740 favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be, this is the way the

00:04:49.840 system works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic.

00:04:56.920 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God

00:05:02.960 and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.

00:05:10.760 Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.

00:05:13.740 You
