1 | 'Conscientious Objection' Biblical? | Ex 20:13 | retxar | 16095 | ||
Thanks Tim for answering the question I had on Romans 13. I have high regard for your knowledge of the Word, and your answer confirmed what I saw also. I stated before that I was not sure of my position on the death penalty. The reservations I have is not biblical support, but rather how scriptural support would apply if those making the life and death decisions do not uphold the Word. The other reservation I have is do I have the right to support the death penalty and ask someone else to “flip the switch” on the condemned when I don’t think I could do it myself? God bless, retxar |

According to scripture you don't have you do it yourself. The state (not you) is given the sword for this. Unless your view of democracy requires you to be able to actually carry out EVERY specific task given to a mankind in a state's ruling authority. You can free yourself from such utopian views of what you could or could not do in society -- and get back to what scripture says and to whom does it say it. We are under the authority of the word of God as Christians, and the state is clearly under the authority of the word of God, we must pray for our leaders and obey them according to scripture. | ||||||
