According to the Bible, capital punishment is justified.

First off, I never said that the Bible says specifically that capital punishment is justified. This debate is to show that if we really read the Bible, that God supports capital punishment. Second, my opponent used scriptures from the Old Testament, but the Jesus says specifically that he has come to offer a new testament. Therefore, because my scripture is from the new testament and his are from the old testament, his scriptures would be of lesser relevance than my scriptures. Third, in the Old Testament, there are many statements in which God tells people to kill others for their wrongdoing and says so in Lev. 24-17, that if you kill a man that you should be put to death. Now that is a pure example of capital punishment in the Bible. Here is my argument-God tells us to kill someone if they killed someone. Capital Punishment kills people who have committed murder,Therefore, capital punishment is justified according to the Bible. My opponent has supported my case by providing scriptures in which God has killed people for the things he dislikes which comes to my second argument-God tells us as a nation, to kill people for committing sins, or deeds that he doesn't like. In the Bible, there are several statements in which God tells us he doesn't like murderers. Therefore, we, as a nation, must kill murders. Because the nation is upholding capital punishment instead of us as individuals, therefore, capital punishment is justified according to the word of God. Now this is the part were God himself never said anything about Capital punishment being justified, as we all read my opponent verse he used as his proof as you can see GOD never spoke, the words that gave that away that a man wrote this, a man (human) wrote this say's FOR GOD, OF GOD. Them two little phrases themselves speak for it all that GOD himself never said such things. Then my opponent will say well god spoke through the man who wrote this, no there is no physical nor proven facts that GOD really spoke to this man or woman telling her to say such things, if there is physical proof then please post it up for all the viewers to see this proof. By stating these words, my opponent has ideally contradicted himself. He has seem to have stated that the Bible is not the word of God. Therefore, it is ideal that this man doesn't understand that he himself has refuted his own evidence because I could also say God didn't say Thou shall not kill! He wrote on a tablet Thou shalt not kill and told Moses to tell it to the Israelites. My opponent has merely posted this contradictory argument-The Bible is the Word of God. God didn't say that scripture. Therefore, that is not the word of God. This argument is not true at all. Heres more proof for this so call GOD said, now all my voters and my opponent take a good look at this, going through every single verse reading not once did god say such things about capital punishment only person who said something about capital punishment was the person who wrote the bible, since there like i said no physical evidence that god spoke such things to this person then the rulling of god saying that capital punishment is justified is truely false when god himself never took a pen and wrote all the words in the bible himself. If he did, the bible ill say something like this I am god and i say capital punishment is justify. But since no verse said such thing only the ones that said I am your father, or I am God the alpha and omega, there is still no proof as i explain that god never said capital punishment is justified in the bible. That man himself wrote the bible. My opponent broke the first rule in the other rules which clearly states that all biblical sources, scriptures, must be accepted as true. In the statement he clearly states that my source is not true by saying that it wasn't written by God but that is not true because it was written by an apostle of God named Paul. He has basically said that the entire word of God false by stating that Man himself wrote the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, therefore he wrote it through people. I also can say that his scriptures are not true because he can't prove that God wrote it, but then I would be contradicting myself. My opponent has broken two rules already in this debate.
