God Demands Capital Punishment for All Murders!
- There is a big difference between
“murder” and “killing.”
- The Bible actually says: "You
shall not murder.”
- God commanded His people to kill
His enemies and purge evil/sin.
- The government has the God given
right to execute a murder.
- Check it out as the Bereans did
after Paul’s teaching.
Killing in wartime and for self-defense has been accepted throughout history. God has commanded killing in order purge evil from the land.
Throughout the Old Testament, God commanded His people to kill His enemies and purge evil/sin from the land. This included the killing of men, women and children that He wanted eliminated from the earth:
- Deuteronomy 20:16-17 “However, in the cities
of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an
inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely
destroy[a]
them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and
Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.
- 1 Samuel 2-3 “This is what
the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for
what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now
go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all
that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women,
children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys”.
- 1st Samuel 15:19 “And he sent you on a mission,
saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites;
make war on them until you have wiped them out.’”
Jesus never suggested that serving in the military was against God’s will.
The Bible is clearly in favor of taking the life of a murderer:
- Genesis 9:6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made
mankind.
- Exodus 21:12 “Anyone who strikes a man and
kills him shall surely be put to death.
- Numbers 35:16 “If a man strikes someone
with an iron object so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall
be put to death.
- Romans 13:1 “Let everyone be subject to
the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that
which God has established. The authorities that exist have been
established by God.”
- Romans 13:3-4 “For rulers hold
no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to
be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he
will commend you. 4For he is God’s servant to do you
good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for
nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the
wrongdoer.
- 1st Peter 2:3 “Submit yourselves for the
Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king,
as the supreme authority”
If any reader disagrees with my conclusion of capital punishment based on the Bible, please check it out as the Bereans did after Paul’s teaching. :Acts 17:11“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”

While the thief on the cross found pardon in the
sight of God - ‘Today you will be with Me in Paradise’ - that pardon did not
extend to eliminating the consequences of his crime - ‘We are being justly
punished, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds.’ (Luke
23:39-43)". Neither God nor Jesus nor the Holy Spirit nor the prophets nor
the apostles ever spoke out against the civil authorities’ use of executions in
deserving cases - not even at the very time of Jesus’ own execution when He
pardoned the sins of the thief, who was being crucified alongside Him. Indeed,
quite the opposite. Their biblical support for capital punishment is consistent
and overwhelming. Furthermore, Jesus never confuses the requirements of civil
justice with those of either eternal justice or personal relations.
