That isn’t talking about a secular death penalty, which has prescribed under the pentateuch such as at Numbers 35:16-20. Also, Romans is traditionally believed to be written by Paul and is not a gospel account.
But what does it matter? Policy should not be based on the Bible.
You keep going back to the old testament. That’s what Jesus came to rectify.
Paul’s letters are definitely seen as the among the most consequential scriptures. But you’re right, it doesn’t matter. Everyone has their own interpretation anyway.
Also, many of your fellow believers in the death penalty do believe that policy should be based on the bible. Just calling out the hypocrisy.
Came to fulfill, not rectify. But while you are in Romans, perhaps consider chapter 13. Especially verse 4.
Sure, fulfill. Which just proves my point even more.
Romans 13, 4 does not talk about capital punishment.
Talks about bearing a sword for punishment. Sure sounds like it includes capital punishment
