Can you be Christian and Favor Death Penalty?

[Donovan]

No.

It is ironic that the same people that don't trust the government with taxes, roads, business, social security, and schools, trust it with the lives of people.

This shows such anti-Christian behavior because they are fine with a system that is imperfect when it comes to killing someone else, and has proven to kill innnocent people, but they don't trust the same govenment when educating their children.

That is the furthest thing from Christianity that I can think of.

Can you picture Christ pulling the level, tying the noose, or injecting a person? I cannot.

[Donovan]

Rom 13:14 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

Isn't the executioner pictured as "God's servant" in the above verse?

No, not if he is killing a man wrongly accused and sentenced. We kill the wrong person all the time. By supporting this flawed system that takes innocent lives as God's works, you are saying that God is flawed.
