No individual person kills anyone in capital punishment ... execution is an action that the elected government imposes.
Erika Kirk showed mercy and forgave the killer of her husband ... that does not change the legal process which will convict and punish her husband's murderer.
No, but individuals approve of killing or giving mercy. Christians choose MERCY! No reason to KILL people. Put them in prison. Many have been exonerated after years in prison!
I've been involved in the court system for years. It's utterly Satanic and corrupt. "The elected government" is CORRUPT!
But the truth is seldom totally apparent! Judges and prosecutors LIE, HIDE evidence and intimidate jurors! Do you think people should be executed without knowing the truth? The truth is nearly always hidden!
My point was that the process leading to execution has nothing to do with individuals.
If a person feels strongly about opposing capital punishment, it can only be addressed through the political machinery we have.
Is that process fallible and sometimes corrupt ... it certainly is! And that is why I do not like the death penalty.
However, the government of a nation is acting within Biblical guidelines to execute a murderer.
On Judgment Day we will be alone to answer for our choices, murder or mercy. I choose mercy. I highly recommend MERCY. Don't MURDER them and burn in Hell!
Jas 2:13 He will have judgment WITHOUT MERCY who has shown no mercy!

Actually friend, you don't choose anything ... the legal process couldn't care less about your mercy.
God looks at our personal relationships, not our political positions.
Several here choose to kill innocent people.
And those here who CHOOSE to kill humans will answer to Him!
Jas 2:13 He will have judgment WITHOUT MERCY who has given no mercy.
I say don't MURDER people! That's mercy.
No one chooses to kill innocent people.
Your thoughts matter very little ... mercy in action is what pleases God.
Ask yourself, how have I demonstrated mercy today?
For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you clothed me,
I was sick and you visited me,
I was in prison and you came to me.’
Nothing in there about just thinking about mercy.
Yes they do! The proof is here and will be on Judgment Day!
Yeah, that's why I'm defending lives and not MURDERING them!
See above!
So you're approving of killing people?
You are just talking about mercy in a situation where your feelings do not matter.
Jesus taught us that mercy is actively and personally helping those in need.
Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?”
He said, “The one who showed him mercy.”
And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Using words as a cudgel to show some sort of moral superiority is not what Jesus was talking about.
