Does the Bible support the death penalty?
Oh yes, very much, who killed all sinners and sentenced fallen man to die?
Genesis 9:6 shows the death penalty being instituted by God. A penalty to be applicable to assassins. The penalty for those who are assassins is justified by the reason that man is created the image of God the Creator and Life Giver
Since we are now living under grace does that mean the death penalty is also set aside?
It does indeed in the Okd Testament. Disrespecting offspring. Let the elders stone him.
Suffer not a witch to live
But is it commanded?
New Testament endorsements?
If we remove death penalties, we ere on the side of grace, but the offender must spend the rest of their days in hard, meaningful labor and in conditions that allow no luxuries or privileges.
All due respect, do you have any scripture passages to back up your conclusion?
I don’t personally have a stance on this topic.
