@ChristopherHale Jesus elsewhere affirms the continuing validity of the law’s moral core (Matthew 5:17–18) while intensifying personal ethics.

@ChristopherHale The Bible does not condemn the death penalty when carried out by legitimate governing authorities after due process and a finding of guilt.
Old Testament foundation
Scripture repeatedly affirms capital punishment as a legitimate function of civil authority:

@ChristopherHale evil.”
• Jesus and the apostles never instruct civil rulers to abolish capital punishment. When Jesus is asked about the Mosaic penalty for adultery (John 8), the focus is on the hypocrisy of the accusers and personal sin, not a revocation of the state’s right to punish.

@ChristopherHale The “sword” in that cultural context is the instrument of lethal force, including capital punishment. Paul writes this under the Roman Empire, which practiced the death penalty.
• 1 Peter 2:13–14 similarly instructs submission to governors “sent by him to punish those who do

@ChristopherHale The New Testament does not repeal this framework for governments:
• Romans 13:1–4 explicitly describes the governing authority as “God’s servant” who “does not bear the sword in vain” and is “an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.”

@ChristopherHale Due process requirements—multiple witnesses, careful inquiry—are built into the system (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15).
• These laws treat the death penalty as an expression of justice and a deterrent, not as private vengeance.

[Kent @bkvollmer]

@ChristopherHale The Mosaic Law (Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Numbers) prescribes the death penalty for a range of offenses after investigation and testimony (e.g., murder, certain forms of sexual immorality, blasphemy, kidnapping).

@ChristopherHale Genesis 9:6 states the principle after the flood: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” This is presented as a standing ordinance for human society, not limited to Israel.
