Bible Question: Please list scriptures that says that it is ok for courts to impose the death penalty. |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Gen 9:6; Exo 21:12-15; Lev 24:17-21; Num 35:9-34; Deu 21:1-9 ... carl, Greetings, again. Heisthe1 gave a good answer. The courts should follow what God said in the OT. Before the Law, God insituted the death penalty (Gen 9:6). Twenty-one different offenses called for the death penalty in the Old Testament (Exo 21:12-15; Lev 24:17-21; Num 35:9-34; Deu 21:1-9) . . Six are for religious offenses. . Ten are for various moral issues. . Two relate to ceremonial issues. Hope this helps, Searcher |
