Republicans - where in the bible does it say Jesus is pro-death penalty

[Bugs]

Returning to the original question, there is a verse in Genesis chapter 9, I'm not sure of the verse, that says in no uncertain terms that if a man takes another man's life, other men are to take his life.  Jesus didn't condemn the death penalty, even for the woman caught in adultry (John chapter .  He wanted the accusers to acknowledge their own shortcomings rather than condemn someone else.  He'd have been the same way with a murderer.

It's in my Bar Mitzvah parsha and in many other sources in the Bible. And no, it isn't crazy evangelicals contorting the text. :-)

Yeah, it's in the Old Testament and the laws of Moses, but I'm a Christian and when Christ was crucified those laws were nailed to the cross. I'm not sure where Jesus supports it. Some people on here have said that he did, but haven't showed me any specific passages from the New Testament. And if somebody does post something, PLEASE DO NOT post a passage from the King James Version. I have a real hard time getting through all of those thou's and art's. NIV is easier for most people to understand.

Besides, we don't establish our laws from the Bible. Not every American believes in the laws of the Bible. A debate on biblical law is pointless. As much as some evangelical Christians would want to establish a theocracy in this country, it will never happen.

I don't think you loathe debating religion as much as you claim you do.  There are lots of non-religious threads on this forum, yet you keep coming back here.
