Sounds like it is time to move to firing squads and/or hangings. Or hanging in front of a firing squad.


Nitrogen asphyxiation is the answer

Why? The fact they are on death row isn't the problem. Also, I doubt tbere are enough people on death row to impact the overall population.
Be more specific about what you're bitching about

Because the taxpayer funds their cost of incarceration. If they are dead the (for profit) prisons lose revenue. Its that simple

Are you suggesting the NT annulled the OT principle of capital punishment? What do you mean by try the NT?

Aside from resurrecting the dead there is no way to achieve justice for someone who takes the life of another person. Justice and vengeance are not synonymous.
Justice is receiving what one is due for their actions by the appropriate authority. God says that if man sheds another man’s blood (murder, in context), then man shall shed that man’s blood. In other words, putting someone to death is the deserved punishment for murder, according to God (Genesis 9:6).

The reason for this is that man is made in the image of God with inherent value, and no one has the right to take life unjustly according to God. He sets the standard according to His moral law, and murder is so heinous that the murderer forfeits his own life.

Did you miss it in my response?

In Acts 25:15, Paul states that if he has done anything deserving of death, that he would not object to dying (the death penalty).

Paul also says in Romans 13:4 that the government wields the sword (of justice) for good, to punish evil.

I also mentioned that Revelation paints the picture of Jesus returning in judgment with blood on His robes as He destroys the wicked. He will exact justice with the cosmic death penalty by throwing the wicked into Hell, which is called the second death.

So do the courts. Angola housed a guy for a life sentence for an armed robbery that, a couple decades after the sentence, the victim and the only eye witness admitted to “not only was it NOT that guy, but the crime never happened - I made it all up”

I’m glad that guy didn’t get put down. The courts exonerated him and he was released from Angola.

That's why in such cases, if it's found out that the witnesses committed perjury, they should receive the same sentence imposed upon the one who was wrongfully accused.
