Remember one Jesus said in John 14:7 that "if you really knew me, you would know my father as well"? That means that God (the father) and Jesus work together as one. So, would somebody please read Genesis 9:6 and tell me why Christians are wrong about the death penalty? Guess what: the 6th commandment-you shall not kill-doesn't apply to the death penalty! This verse (Genesis 9:6) proves that! THE GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWED TO KILL THOSE WHO HAVE KILLED!!!
You people who claim that Jesus is against the death penalty obviously don't "know" Jesus like you claim to do! Jesus may have outlawed the "eye for an eye" part in Leviticus, but did he outlaw Genesis 9:6? NO WAY!!! NEVER!! NOT ONCE!!!
And how about this: read 2nd Timothy 3:16, and than read Ecclesiastes 3:3! Did you know that Ecclesiastes was wriiten by King Solomon-the same man who wrote Proverbs? Are you going to challenge the position that God gave him?
The bottom line: Christianity permits the death penalty!!
