I almost didn't make this video. The death penalty is one of the hardest topics a Christian can talk about, and I'm not here to make enemies. I'm here to look at some things in Scripture that I rarely hear talked about.
In this video: the biblical case for the death penalty, what Exodus 21 actually includes, why Romans 6:23 puts every one of us under the same sentence, what God did with Cain, David, Moses, and Saul, and why I believe Christians shouldn't support the death penalty or take pleasure in it.
Scripture referenced: Genesis 9:6, Exodus 21, Proverbs 6:16-17, Matthew 5:21-22, Romans 6:23, Romans 13, Ephesians 4:32, 2 Peter 3:9.
