What about turning the other cheek? The bible thumpers ignore that one.

I'm not sure if He would support what we know to be the death penalty. He did afterall, save people from being stoned by people who were just as guilty. I think the decision to kill someone is Jesus' call. Not ours.

Romans 13:1-7 would be an interesting public reading at the posing of this question.
I'm really not making a statement here these verses are something I've wrestled with, when thinking about subjects like this.

Seeing as how he is pretty big on FORGIVENESS and he that he got the death penalty, I'm gonna say...NO.

No. Jesus made one sacrifice to end all sacrifices. (from Hebrews)

Probably not. Since he was an innocent person who was executed.

I think Jesus was too liberal. I think he'd support LWOP....
