Forgiving Murderers

I QUOTED THREE VERSES WHICH MENTIONED THAT THE BIBLE WRITERS CONSIDERED MURDER AS BEING PUNISHABLE BY DEATH, I WILL NOT DO SO AGAIN.

The verse 1 Peter 4:15, which you cited on page 4, mentioned not just a murderer but also "a thief" and "an evildoer" and "a busybody in other people’s matters". Quoting this verse does not support your assertion that the bible specifies that only murder is punishable by death.

The verse from Peter mentioned "a thief" and "an evildoer" and "a busybody in other people’s matters" and not just "a murderer". What do you think that means with regard to the death penalty?

meaningless opinion, i can find no other references where capital punishment is meted
out for any other crime other than murder. Paul speaks of a murderer deserving of
death, why have you made no reference to that,

time wasting, it is clear that the Bible dos not forbid capital punishment for murder...

Does the Bible forbid capital punishment for crimes other than murder? I am baffled as to why you won't answer this question seeing as it gets to the very heart of what you do not oppose and oppose when it comes to the death penalty.

more meaningless assertions of a verse taken out of context, Paul states that a
murderer was deserving of death.

This answer is evading my question about 1 Peter 4:1. You cited this verse.

Why did he mention "a thief" and "an evildoer" and "a busybody in other people’s matters" in the same verse?

You have very pointedly not answered the question: Does the Bible forbid capital punishment for crimes other than murder?

Then why have you cited this verse in support of your stance on capital punishment?

stop wasting my time,

THE BIBLE, IN THE CHRISTIAN EPOCH, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, DOES NOT SPECIFY
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR ANY CRIME OTHER THAN MURDER AND IT DOES SO
INDIRECTLY.
