where in the bible does it say something about death(like capital punishment)?

Question

please post it.

Answer 1

There are many Bible passages (especially in the OT) that support capital punishment, often for relatively mild offenses. For example:

- Adultery (Leviticus 20:10)
- Blasphemy (Leviticus 24:16)
- Breaking the Sabbath (Exodus 31:14 & 15)
- Disobedient children (Exodus 21:15 & 17; Leviticus 20:9)
- Homosexuality (Leviticus 20:13)
- Not being a virgin on your wedding night (but only if you're a woman - Deuteronomy 22:13-22)

But, there are many passages (esp. in the New Testament) that are ANTI-death penalty. For example, Matthew 5:38-39 insists that violence shall not beget violence. James 4:12 says that God is the only one who can take a life in the name of justice. Leviticus 19:18 warns against vengeance (which, really, is what the death penalty amounts to). In John 8:7, Jesus himself says, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

There are many, many practical problems with capital punishment (that I won't get into here), but purely from a moral standpoint, I can't imagine that Jesus would support it. True Christians shouldn't, either.

Answer 2

In Scripture the Book of Laws is Deuteronomy in the O.T.. It is just Packed with Offenses for which the "Death Penalty" is Proper. An Interesting one is found in Chapter 21:18-23 dealing with "Stubborn & Rebellious Children" (18-21)!!! John

Answer 3

Exd 19:13; Deu 13:10; 17:5; 22:21; Hbr 11:37

Answer 4

Gen. 9: 6
6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

Ex. 21: 12
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

Num. 35: 16
16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

(This one is my favorite because it states the law of God, but also the law of the king which means earthly law, the laws we abide by in our country)

Ezra 7: 26
26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

I've got tons more, but, these are the makers for me.

Answer 5

Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.

Genesis 9:5 And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. 6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.

Answer 6

Why do you ask?

Exodus 21:17  And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 22:19  Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 24:16  And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

GOD bless

Answer 7

Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill" isn't in the manuscripts. in any different case, God's be conscious could contradict itself, which it would not. Deuteronomy 24:7 as an occasion expresses the dying penalty. What we've in Exodus 20:13, is a nasty translation. The be conscious 'kill' is Phonuance in the septuigit. It ability criminal homicide, not in basic terms "killing". there's an excellent distinction. The reported verse would desire to examine "Thou shalt do no criminal homicide". The dying penalty is Biblical. 1st John 3:15 tells us a murderer won't be able to have salvation in a flesh physique. That guy or woman would desire to be completed and sent to God for an ordeal in heaven to choose on whether or not they are in a position to be forgiven or not. There at the instant are not any unsolved mysteries or murders with God ! additionally, it constantly ticks me off a sprint once I pay attention biblically illiterate liberals blame God for all the evil that occurrs in this earth. Its not God's fault, its ours. If we completed murderers and baby molestors, (as God's regulation states for us to) then different could be murderers and molestors would think of two times previously they homicide or rape. Its not God's fault our human beings won't stick to His suggestion, so do not blame Him. possibly we would desire to constantly blame a number of those liberal heathan surpreme court docket "judges" that dislike God and want to kick the ten commandments out of our court docket equipment. those kinds already kicked prayer outta our faculties countless an prolonged time lower back, and now our faculties have become primary crime scenes using fact the babies pass on killing sprees. that's what happens while a society starts off to kick God out. The Soviet Union did this, yet historic previous proved as quickly as lower back, atheistic communism FAILS. In God we believe !
