ministers of church are the people who write The Bible for their churches but also book writers write them and you get charged for changing anything by computer on the bible and all that.
Answer:
It begins with the Lord. His name is Jesus Christ, the WORD and Creator God of the Old Testament who "made all things" [John 1:3].
But, it needs to be understood that "punishment" isn't the first priority with God for His people. Teaching His people His laws and ways is. The purpose of laws and "punishment" for breaking them is for "rebuke" and "correction" [see II Tim.3:16-17]... and for the purging of disobedience of the law from the hearts and minds of the people. Because when you are dealing with millions of people... if the laws aren't obeyed; and/or punishment isn't enforced for disobedience to them... then there is only 'lawlessness' and chaos. And you no longer have a nation. You have a mob.
When He liberated the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, in deference to His promises to Abraham regarding his children's future... and took them under His wing as His nation; Christ chose, delegated and "charged" Moses to "Judge" His nation.
"The Lord gave Moses these further instructions for the people of Israel: 'Anyone - whether an Israelite or a foreigner living among you - who sacrificed his child as a burnt offering to Molech shall without fail be stoned by his peers. And I Myself will turn against that man and cut him off from all his people, because he has given his child to Molech, thus making My Tabernacle unfit for Me to live in, and insulting My Holy Name." (Lev.20:1-3 LVB Living Bible)
From the outset, the task of Judging the people was monumental and too much for Moses to handle alone. But his father-in-law advised him to delegate duties to others:
"The next day Moses sat as usual to hear the people's complaints against each other, from morning to evening. When Moses' father-in-law saw how much time this was taking, he said, 'Why are you trying to do all this alone, with people standing here all day long to get your help?'
"'Well, because the people come to me with their disputes, TO ASK GOD FOR DECISIONS,' Moses told him. 'I AM THEIR JUDGE, deciding who is right and who is wrong, and INSTRUCTING THEM IN GOD'S WAYS. I APPLY THE LAWS OF GOD TO THEIR PARTICULAR DISPUTES.'
"'It's not right!' his father-in-law exclaimed. 'You're going to wear yourself out - and if you do, what will happen to the people? Moses, this job is too heavy a burden for your to try to handle all by yourself. Now listen, and let me give you a word of advice, and God will bless you.
"Be these people's lawyer - their representative before God - bringing Him their questions to decide; you will tell them His decisions, teaching them God's laws, and showing them the principles of godly living.
"Find some capable, godly, honest men who hate bribes, and APPOINT THEM AS JUDGES, one Judge for each 1000 people; he in turn will have ten Judges under him, each in charge of a hundred; and under each of them will be two Judges, each responsible for the affairs of fifty people; and each of these will have five Judges beneath him, each counseling ten persons.
"Let these men be responsible TO SERVE THE PEOPLE WITH JUSTICE AT ALL TIMES. Anything that is too important or complicated can be brought to you. But the smaller matters they can take care of themselves. That way it will be easier for you because YOU WILL SHARE THE BURDEN WITH THEM.
"If you follow this advice, and IF THE LORD AGREES, you will be able to endure the pressures, and THERE WILL BE PEACE AND HARMONY IN THE CAMP.' Moses listened to his father-in-law's advice, and followed this suggestion." (Ex.18:13-24 LVB)
"Punishment" isn't for disputing people. People disagree with people all the time. That's the nature of individual personalities. Punishment is for those who "rebel against the law" and refuse to obey it... regardless of Judgments handed down.
The purpose of punishment is for the curtailment of the future law-breaking of others when they see that breaking the law isn't profitable. Because if punishment is NOT administered swiftly [or at all]... then law-breaking becomes DESIRABLE!
"When a crime is not punished, people feel it is safe to do wrong." (Eccle.8:11 NLT New Living Translation)
In God's nation, the "Judges" are charged with the teaching and enforcement of the laws of God -- Godly men who HATE BRIBES. Who care about God's Judgments and care about the people. The goal of most people is the achievement of Peace and Harmony in their lives. It's just that most people don't know how to reach that goal.
"You don't know what True Peace is, nor what it means to be Just and Good; you continually do wrong and those who follow you won't experience any Peace, either." (Isa.59:8 LVB)
That's the purpose of the "Judge"... to administer "punishment" where its righteously needed against wickedness, to attain; and to maintain national Peace and Harmony... and not "what they can get out of it, personally."
God has laid down the law [it was His initiative]... and He delegates those whom He trusts to administer it. The God of the Bible [Jesus Christ] isn't done delegating Judgment [and punishment], yet.
"To everyone who overcomes - who to the very end keeps on doing things that please Me - I will give power over the nations. You will rule them with a rod of iron just as My Father gave Me the Authority to rule them; they will be shattered like a pot of clay that is broken into tiny pieces." (Rev.2:26-27 LVB)
"Do you not know that the saints shall Judge the World?" (I Cor.6:2)

Describe an example in the Bible where the principles of operant conditioning are illustrated?
Operant coniditioning is shown throughout the entire Bible. Operant conditioning is where we learn to associate actions with consequences. I have an assignment this week in my class that asks this question and I have a few examples I am debating about using. Jonah is one character who received a punishments for his actions and because of his punishments he decided to change his behavior. Adam and Eve is another example of operant conditioning. If you just look in the Bible a little and understand operant conditioning, you will see a lot of examples.
