Meh', I support the death penalty would really like it to be kept.
Then don't you call yourself "pro-life" ever again.
Because the life of murderer, serial rapist and terrorist are the same as a life of an innocent baby. If you sincerely believe that you're oversimplifying.
Yes, they are equal. All lives are beautiful in the eyes of God, and each deserves the chance to make the most of their only time on earth, which includes the chance of redemption.
God can forgive the murderer......we don't have to.
Except we're interfering with that process by presumption. God forgives those who seek His forgiveness. Killing someone may prematurely end their ability to do so. It also enables the victims to choose sinful vengeance over forgiveness and mercy.
Oh, and Parable of the Tares and all that.
