It's about valuation and recompense. How does the death penalty uphold value and who is recompensed?
Does God send unbelievers to hell?
Actually, no, those who refuse the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus Christ send themselves to hell. It isn't God's will that any should perish.

It upholds the value of life, and that there is no way to repay for a murder.
So, you believe in hell. And this is better than a death sentence how?

Actually, no, those who refuse the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus Christ send themselves to hellWhen they stand before God and their names are not found in the Book of Life, do they gleefully jump into the lake of fire, or are they cast kicking and screaming into the lake of fire?
And if they are cast into the Lake of Fire, then who exactly is it that is doing the casting?
