Death by Execution

Ronnie Lee Gardner, the convicted double-murderer executed by a firing squad in Utah in the predawn hours Friday, died in a manner that even the state that killed him no longer wants to use.

The death sentence is frequently invoked throughout the Torah making it appear as if for the least mistake involving the 613 commandments one can die. Heaven is very strict, an angel can not do more than one task at at time and changes names according to the task–they have no freedom of will.

The Torah is perfect and the heavens expect perfection; the angles don’t understand human compulsion–but this gives God the opportunity to be compassionate. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor relates, before God created the human being the angels warned: they will cause God anger and God responded, so I will show mercy.

Death was not just a decree from heaven, even the courts had the right to put people to death, but it is taught in the Talmud-Book of Law, if courts put to death more than one person in 70 years then the courts were considered to be murders.

There are four methods of killing: strangulation, decapitation, falling and fire. The courts are commanded that death must be without pain since the four methods were designed to correct the blemish made in the YHVH, the Four Letter Name of God.
