that criminals be punished by the king, just as it is beneficial for those who commit very serious offenses to find death by the grace of the Lord.
It is written, "Thou shalt not kill," and "If any man kill with the sword, he must be slain by the sword."
If it is written: "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth", it is to incite not to kill and to say to those who risk it, that they will undergo the same thing, suffering more. It is simply the application of the law of cause and effect and of karma. True social justice consists in condemning such a wretch to the death penalty, in order to spare him hell. The killing of a murderer by the state is a blessing for the guilty, for thus he will not have to suffer for his crime in his next life.
Murderer is also the one who kills an animal. He who allows the killing of an animal and the one who performs the murderous act, the one who sells the flesh of the animal thus slaughtered and the one who prepares it, the one who distributes such food and finally the one who eats it , All are murderers, all equally punishable by the laws of nature.
When a king or a head of state condemns a criminal to capital punishment, he acts in the interest of the guilty party who will thereby be freed from the consequences of all his sinful acts.
You will not hurt anyone, and you will not kill. There is no justification for taking life.
The sufferings we are undergoing today are the exact consequences of the abominable acts we have accomplished in our previous life. Who commits a murder, even to a monster, will have to suffer much in his future life and will be killed in his turn. Condemning a murderer to death means avoiding great suffering in his next life. We can escape from the righteousness of men, from that of God it is impossible.
Exodus 21, 23-25 Leviticus 24, 17-22 Deuteronomy 19:21 Genesis IX: 6
Suffering is useful and necessary, because it makes it possible, through the pain felt, to know what the malicious actions generate, and thus never to do evil in any form whatsoever.
Suffering is useful and necessary, because it helps to erase sins and the evil and even criminal acts accomplished in the past.
