NOTICE:
I
will post a quote or article from a Christian in favor of capital punishment
every fortnight.
QUOTE: Virtually all religious scholars agree that the correctly
translated commandment "Thou shalt not murder" is a prohibition
against individual cases of murder. There is no biblical prohibition against
the government imposition of the death penalty in deserving cases. Indeed, the
government imposition of capital punishment is required for deliberate murder.
(Dr. Charles Ryrie, Biblical Answers
to Contemporary Issues & The Ryrie Study Bible, Exodus 20:13).
