Abstract


God is the creator of human being and God is the source of the life of human, so God

is the only one the owner of the life of human being, and God is the only one to beable to take away a life of human being.

According to the doctrine of Love of Jesus Christ and the creation of human being as it is written in the Holy Bible that God and Jesus Christ never give an authority to a man to take away a life of a human being, so a man has no authority to put on a death penalty by his own intention towardsan offender or a trespasser or a cruel crime actor.

The prime aim of punishment is to repent an offender or a trespasser and recoverying a peacefull situation.

A death penalty is a degrading punishment and it degrades human dignity. Performing a death penalty is also to resist the power and the authority of God as the creator of human being.

A State or a government must be able to perform a welfare and a prosperity and a peacefull situation of a society without a cruel punishment for an offender or an trespasser or a cruel crime actor.

Performing a death penalty to an offender or an trespasser or a cruel crime actor shows that a state or a government fails to fulfill an adherence or obedience to the rules with a dignity legal enforcement.
