"On The Wing"
Answers to questions:
"What would Jesus do with the death penalty?"
He would be all for it; He would say, Yes. Here's why:
I and my Father are one. John 10:30 (KJV)
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23 (KJV)
These scriptures verify the Jesus Christ is God and therefore established the death penalty early on and never disavowed it.
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Genesis 9:6 (KJV)
Since God never changes, He is the same yesterday, today and forever then it is a done deal. The Lord Jesus Christ would be for the death penalty because it is just and right. Not to be done in revenge but done to achieve justice. So since Jesus Christ is for the death penalty, so are true Christians.
ps. Yes, I would perform the act personally under one condition; if I could talk to the convicted one face-to-face; why? I want to know that the person is ready to stand before God. By giving them the opportunity to trust Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, I am ready to issue the just penalty, under the law.
