I understand that: once you’re dead, you can’t repent.

Might be an interesting argument if death row inmates didn't typically outlive many of their jurors. But seriously? What capital murderer has ever had fewer than three years [minimum] to repent of his crimes?

The Bible doesn't give time limits. As I said, I understand the reasoning, but I don't agree with a total condemnation of executions. From a Christian standpoint, anything involving killing people has to be taken very seriously, because eternal souls are involved.

Okay, you've got a murderer ... he killed X people. Those people can't be brought back; they're either saved or not, based on what they believed and did before their death. However, the killer is still "pending." Is it merciful to keep him "pending"? Maybe it is; maybe he'll repent. On the other hand, maybe he will continue to harm others.
