This is why you shouldn't have the death penalty

Secondary point, because K9buck brought it up: the bible saying something is ok in no way makes it automatically ok. We have morals and laws that (luckily) have progressed beyond archaic Biblical thinking.
The death penalty is created through the legislative process.  Elected officials decide to codify it or not.  Most people probably support it in certain cases.  And once again, OT Israel death penalty edicts do not constitute murder no matter how many times you recite it.

You realize that explaining how death penalty gets put into place changes nothing about what i said, right?

And, as I said, OT laws most definitely  ARE murder by today's moral and legal standards.

Your comments imply the "government" is executing people with no accountability as if they just magically created the death penalty.  And for 50th time, the OT laws of Israel and related punishments were not murder just because they aren't applicable today.

I never used the word accountability although, now that you mention it, there is no accountability if they were found to have made a mistake.

And, for the 50th time, OT laws, if carried out by some yahoo today, would be murder because we've progressed past a time when 'men' executed their kids to change weather patterns.

But you claimed they were murder at the time.  That is incorrect.

Buuuuuullshit.  The very first mention of it said "by today's legal/moral standards".

Theoretically she could have been executed for a crime she did not commit, making it the harm and injustice to her irreparable. Not that 35 years in prison for a crime you did not commit isnâ€t difficult to compensate for, but being wrongly executed for it has a certain finality about it.

There was no contradiction.  My reply was to K9's post where he tried to rationalize the government executing people as being ok by referencing God as some kind of moral compass.  My response to him was to point out that we can't use God's moral standards today, because god supported what is recognized as murder today.

All you are doing is dishonestly torturing the English language because of your disdain for anything biblical.  Your original statement was just flat out incorrect.

By today's moral and legal standards, killing someone for being gay, working on Sunday, etc is would be viewed as murder.

My response was to K9 post. He was supporting  the death penalty by referencing the fact that God allowed the death penalty. The point of my post was to say that we cannot trust God's judgment when making decisions today.  What (cough) God advocated in Old Testament times is clearly viewed as absolutely immoral today. it's also viewed as absolutely illegal today.

The entire exchange is right there for anyone to read. I'm very much confused by your confusion.

More dishonest spin.  Your statement clearly said the death sentences in the OT judicial law constitute murder.  There is simply no other way to read it.
