    Death penalty ought to be replaced everywhere by imprisonment for life. "I don't agree with you," said their host the banker. "I have not tried either the death penalty or imprisonment for life, but if one may judge a priori, the death penalty is more moral and more humane than imprisonment for life... LOOK BEING HONEST I AM NOT SO GOOD IN THIS... THTS WHY I WANT YOUR HELP... IF I DO ANY MISTAKE THAN I AM SORRY

    All right. Let's back up the bus.

    The story starts with an old banker remembering a party he gave 15 years ago. Tell me who was at the party and what was being argued about.

    Hey I don't understand this sentence They considered that form of punishment out of date, immoral, and unsuitable for Christian States. In the opinion of some of them the death penalty ought to be replaced everywhere by imprisonment for life.

    Christian States believe in the Bible. What does the Bible say about the death penalty (capital punishment)?

    imprisonment for life = being in jail for the rest of your life

    It would help if I know what country you live in and what language you speak as a native.

    The banker had given a party 15 years ago. At the party were smart, well-educated men who disagreed about capital punishment and life imprisonment. Most seemed to believe life imprisonment was to be preferred, especially by Christian countries that believe in the Bible. The death penalty means to kill someone, and God tells us in His commandments not to kill. Life imprisonment would be the kinder way to punish criminals.

    This is not an analysis. It is only a rewriting of that paragraph.
