Genesis 9:5 "For your lifeblood I will most certainly require an accounting; from every animal [that kills a person] I will require it. And from man, from every man's brother [that is, anyone who murders] I will require the life of man. [Ex 21:28, 29]

Subject:  Is this verse pro capital punishment?

Bible Note:  I've read these last few posts and thought I'd throw in my two cents' worth.

I do believe very strongly in capital punishment just like I believe spanking needs to be an available tool to every good and loving parent. I don't think there is a specific verse in the Bible that actually endorses or commands the former but of course we do have God's encouragement "not to spare the rod" for the latter.

In my opinion, nations have to come to their own way of handling criminals who show no respect for authority as vested by that nation in their officials. If a society such as England can conduct their way of life with policemen without guns, it does seem that way of life could spread. But alas we have such incredible variety of lifestyles across our world, it's not practical to even expect that to come to pass.

However, we do know that Paul did give God's endorsement on the nations of the world and the way they govern their country and its citizens, see Romans. So each of us must learn God's Will as best we can, some with the Bible and some without. Nevertheless we know we'll all be judged by how well we listen to God, whether it from His Word, our Bibles or whether we listen to the God installed conscience within all of us.

The rest, including whether or not to provide for capital punishment is a matter left for those with a much higher pay-grade and position in life than you and I. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy
