    You keep going back to the old testament. That’s what Jesus came to rectify.

    Paul’s letters are definitely seen as the among the most consequential scriptures. But you’re right, it doesn’t matter. Everyone has their own interpretation anyway.

    Also, many of your fellow believers in the death penalty do believe that policy should be based on the bible. Just calling out the hypocrisy.

      Came to fulfill, not rectify. But while you are in Romans, perhaps consider chapter 13. Especially verse 4.

        Sure, fulfill. Which just proves my point even more.

        Romans 13, 4 does not talk about capital punishment.

          For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

          Talks about bearing a sword for punishment. Sure sounds like it includes capital punishment
