How easy it is to be Mr. tough guy now that you are saved. All of your
scripture is OT.
Adultry was punishable by death. Jesus said if we look at another person
with lust we commit adultry. Ever been there? If you say no - you lie.
My point is we are all eligable for the death penalty.
I believe in tough justice,
        castrate a rapist
        remove hands from thiefs
        beat someone who has beaten
None of these punishments rob them of a chance at salvation, but they
certainly would help deter crime and empty the prisons.
Show some NT support of the death penalty.
If we are going to obey the OT laws, we have to obey ALL the laws.
