death sentence
do you think the death sentence can be justified?
personally, i think it can. in the Old Testament it does say "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." In fact, God seemed very strict in the Old Testament haha. i don't think it was until Jesus that he showed Himself to be a loving, kind, and forgiving God. anyway, i was kinda wondering what you all thought about it.
me... i don't believe that any man can truely judge whether someone deserves death or not... i don't particularly like it... but i think it is a necissary evil

nope, it can never be justified. It can be rationalized though.

the thing is that's old testament. in the new testament, Jesus pretty much made new laws - basically, to love. and murder is not love. no matter what, killing someone intentionally is murder, no matter what the purpose. the fact that the person killed someone gives another no right to be killed. maybe in self defence it's acceptable but it's not good.
and to my own personal belief, i think that a person is always able to change. take the story of st. maria goretti and her rapist. italy doesn't have death penalty so he was left to rot in jail pretty much. but st. maria goretti appeared to him and forgave him (he raped her several times and left her to die). and he repented and later became a saint himself because he just turned his whole life around. if he had been killed, that would've been one less saint, one less person to do good in this world.
