Bible Note: Just to add a footnote, murder is defined as the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought (Webster) were as kill is defined as to deprive of life : cause the death of (Webster). So if the verse was translated as 'kill' then there would be an issue, but when translated as 'murder', there is no issue with capital punishment (based on the definitions). Brad |
