The Bible calls for capital punishment in homicide cases.
Leviticus 24:17
Not to mention the covenant God made made with Noah.
The punishment for any sin is death.
Leviticus 24:17
I'm so thankful that Jesus freed me from Levitical law.
Don't take that as a comment, either pro or con on the death penalty.
If we were still under Levitical/Mosaic law, I suspect that you and I both would have to build a battlement on our roof tops to keep any of our guests from falling off, because that's a law too.
Let 's not even talk about being circumcised, I'm not and I'm too old to even think about it.
