Can a Christian be for the death penalty?
The Bible says, Thou shalt not kill.
Should God have added something to that commandment like, "except for death penalty cases"?
Or should God have rather said, "Thou shalt not murder."
In 1611 when they wrote the KJV, didn't they know that "murder" would be a little more accurate than "kill"?
God commanded his people to kill all kinds of people (witches, gays, false prophets, unclean people, etc.) Today, those things would definitely be considered murder.
It seems that human morality has simply changed with the NT being a "moral update." Like the Mormon racist updates.
But I know you cannot change the Bible, because the Bible says that anyone who changes the Bible should be killed...
So can we kill insane murderers or not?
How about witches and homosexuals, like the Bible says. Are we supposed to read the Ten Commandments and then later read the things that contradict the earlier things and just go with the "latest" information?
