Does The Bible Support the Death Penalty?

Genesis 9:6, “From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.”

God is the one who instituted capital punishment. However, there are some qualifiers, and there are some exceptions. The original reason God demanded the death penalty for certain sins was not only because they were heinous crimes, but because death is a severe deterrent to prevent others from committing them again. If sin is addressed and punished early on, the rest of society will not embrace it.

Join Bill and Annette for a biblical discussion on capitol punishment.
