Bible Question: so. in other words.... If there is good enough reason according to the bible terms, it is ok to put someone to death? |
Bible Answer: Hello ssongssu, Yes, there are times when someone should be put to death. God gave very specific laws on when this was permissible. Those found in the Mosaic Law (adultery, unruly child, etc.) are no longer enforced as we are not under that covenantal law, however there is one (murder) that is enforced because it precedes Moses: Gen 9:5-6 (ESV) And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. Steve |
