[QUOTE="StephanieSomer, post: 65550621, member: 348715"] There is a problem with some of that reasoning. Capital punishment for murder is not Levitical Law. It was the law, in fact the ONLY law, given to Noah. And the wording of it is not individualized, but generalized in a way to include all of humanity, not a particular nation as the Levitical Law was. Christ could have just as easily said on Golgotha, "Let him that is without sin drive the first nail." He had the authority to do that. And if He had, He would have had several legions of angels to insure that was done. However, He recognized governmental authority to exercise capital punishment when He said to Pilate, "You could not have any power over me unless it were given to you from above." In obedience to that authority which His Father had given, He did not struggle or even object. And He allowed Himself to be crucified, according to governmental law. [/QUOTE]
