My goal is to not convince you in any way, but to shine a different light on the capital punishment issue. We have also seen that not all criminals could be considered immoral prior to the act of murder. We constantly hear about how such a person was so personable and could not have done such an act. Innocent people are convicted. A few of those people prove their innocence years later.
Capital punishment does stem back many years.
Those who believe in Jesus should know that he was wrongly accused and nailed to a cross, which was a customary execution at the place in time. Morals are different for every person, yet all decent people believe murdering innocent people is wrong. I guess you don't murder a convict in an execution since it is illegal, yet still premeditated killing. We could all come to a conclusion that life is not fair. Murders are committed, but two wrongs do not make a right.
