  4. Live-streaming the Crucifixion

    In the coming months, Jesus will be crucified afresh in America as a man is executed by a firing squad and his death is livestreamed for the world to watch.

    We so often get hung up on the cross as a theological statement of salvation that we miss everything else God intended to highlight through it. By taking the brutality of capital punishment upon himself, Jesus exposed the darkness of our hearts and our governments and put it on display for all to see. It’s as though his outstretched arms say, “Look at all the darkness this world is capable of. Are you willing to be a part of these horrors?”

    The answer for many, some two thousand years later, is still, “Yes.”

    The mockery Jesus endured while bleeding out on the cross will be found in the mockery of countless heartless comments across social media.

    The chief priest’s proclamation that there is no king but the emperor will be heard as many endorse the government’s decision.

    Many will join in unison with the crowd that killed Jesus, saying, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!”

    Will Jesus not feel the PTSD in his very body as he watches the crowd rise up again? Will he suddenly be hyperfocused on the scars on his hands?

    It doesn’t matter that Jesus was innocent and that this man has done horrendous evil. This is about the evil that we are capable of. You don’t overcome a force that kills and destroys by killing and destroying. You don’t heal broken lives by taking lives. Vengeance doesn’t work because “one cannot satisfy thirst by drinking seawater.” More crucifixion cannot and does not honor the most famous crucified man of all time. We are not to nail people to crosses any more than we are to load nails into guns.

    The God of the living, the Son of the resurrection, and the Spirit of healing have a different way of dealing with the sins of the world. The only blood Jesus sheds is his own. He is a God of transfusion, not of spilling. He doesn’t cut pieces off people, but puts them back on. And he doesn’t only do this for his friends, but for his enemies as well.

    And if we are to follow his example, then we must learn how to do the same.

  6. Christa Pike’s botched execution is a reminder of the horror of the death penalty | Moira Donegan
    By Moira Donegan

    Lethal injection was a way for us to deny the reality of capital punishment. Pike’s experience shows us what it is

  7. In the UK, we suspended the death penalty in 1965 and permanently abolished it in 1969. One of the reasons for this was the execution of Derek Bentley in 1953. He was convicted of murdering a police officer: even though his accomplice, Christopher Craig, actually pulled the trigger and Bentley was already under arrest at the time that PC Sidney Miles was shot!

    I recommend all advocates of capital punishment to read the book that I am currently reading: I can think of no better explanation of why you are wrong!

  8. Which countries carry out the most executions? According to this report, they are: China, Iran, North Korea and Saudi Arabia to Yemen, Kuwait, Singapore and the USA. Any list that starts with, “China, Iran, North Korea and Saudi Arabia…” is not a list that you want to be on! It’s not one of the “fun” lists. They start: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands…

  11. More coverage of this insane #atrocity.

    #Pentagon officials said on Thursday that the #Army officer convicted in the 2009 #FortHood #shooting would be executed in #public, a practice that ended in the #US nearly a century ago & is most commonly carried out in a handful of countries including #Iran, #NorthKorea & the #Taliban-led government in #Afghanistan.

  13. Unreal. #Trump has dragged us back to the #barbaric days of #PublicExecution.

    I am sick.

    #Pentagon says the #FiringSquad #execution of #FortHood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be #livestreamed.

    I’ve said it before, there are so many things wrong with these people. They are the equivalent of the terrorists who livestream acts of terror.

    The last public execution in the #US was in 1936.
