Answer #1

As a Christian, I personally do not support the death penalty because in The Holy Bible it says "do not judge others for the judgement and revenge is Lord's" (Romans 12:17-19). If someone is taking revenge or putting someone into death that means he/she is taking God's place or position or authority. The death penalty is not granted by God according to the Holy Bible.

In our society we can give punishment accordingly but killing someone is a great sin. Instead of putting someone into death we must learn how to forgive others. By killing someone we get nothing but by forgiving we receive blessings from God Almighty. The Holy Bible teach us to love one another and to forgive one another and there is no greater joy more than these. It also says "Do not be overcome by evil, overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21) means we must learn how to overcome the evil things by doing good things. So, instead of supporting death penalty I would like to suggest to teach or show the person who is guilty to live a life in a right way and to follow the moral principles or ethics knowing that one's life exists only once in this world and it is our choice to live a life in a right way or in a wrong way.
