chapter five continued........ THE LIFE OF THE PHYSICAL BODY IS IN THE BLOOD Shortly after Noah and his family came out of the Ark the Bible tells us God introduced several new commandments which He had never before given. One of these was: Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: forin the image of God made He man" (Genesis 9:6) Government calls this "capital punishment," Some would say Jesus annulled this in His teachings as recorded in the gospels. Upon careful scrutiny of His teachings in Matthew 5-7 and Luke 8 the serious Bible student must conclude that our Savior was teaching His followers concerning personal offenses they would suffer for righteousness sake. The apostle Paul concurs in Romans 13. Civil officials are actually the servants of God carrying out His wrath upon the evil doer.(note esp. v.4) Pauls initial readers clearly understood the phrase"he beareth not the sword in vain." Others argue against capital punishment on the supposed basis that it was first sanctioned under the Law of Moses and thus no longer under the Grace period in which we now live. Not only does Romans 13 clearly refute that premise, as we have noted, our text in Genesis 9 also disproves it. This law in Genesis 9:6 was given many centuries before the Law of Moses was given. The rainbow proves the Noahic covenant is still in effect(see Genesis 9: 12-17). God established the life principle, or nephesh,IN THE BLOODas seen previously. Centuries ago "the father of medicine" devised an oath to which the physicians for ages have sworn. Part of the THE OATH OF HIPPOCRATES says, "I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest such council, and in a like ,manner, I WILL NOT GIVE TO A WOMAN A PESSARY(INSTRUMENT)TO PRODUCE ABORTION. Most American medical students no longer include this part of the oath. Their omission reveals gross hardness of heart. will continue Chap. five tomorrow..........
