You are entitled to your "beliefs" and opinions but the fact is God Himself ordered the death penalty for murderers.Liebling:-))) said:...I don't beleive in "Revenge". I beleive God and Jesus would not like "Revenge".
Here are some definitions for "murder" from dictionary.com:Death penalty is a MURDER..., not punishment. I would consider law system as murder the same if they put criminals to death...
The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
To kill (another human) unlawfully.
the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing another under circumstances defined by statute (as with premeditation); especially : such a crime committed purposely, knowingly, and recklessly with extreme indifference to human life or during the course of a serious felony (as robbery or rape)
to kill (a human being) unlawfully and under circumstances constituting murder
unlawful premeditated killing of a human being by a human being
Bible sources: Wilful murder was distinguished from accidental homicide, and was invariably visited with capital punishment (Num. 35:16, 18, 21, 31; Lev. 24:17). This law in its principle is founded on the fact of man's having been made in the likeness of God (Gen. 9:5, 6; John 8:44; 1 John 3:12, 15).
