The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum The Death Penalty

The Death Penalty is, essentially, a non-negotiable theologically. It was given in Genesis 9, well before the giving of the Law. Thus, no matter the theological system of the Christian (Covenantal or Dispensational), the death penalty would be prior to the Law and thus applicable today.

Don't forget, Young Catholic, that MANY Catholic groups still uphold the death penalty. The Priestly Fraternity of St Peter does, as well as the currently 'rogue' group Society of St Pius X. Basically ANY of the groups who hold to the pre-Vatican II Latin Mass are in favor of the Death Penalty.
