Capital punishment is murder, the deliberate taking of a human life. Not like abortion where there is no walking talking seeing breathing life.
The god of the OT enjoyed a bit of mass killing and murder, bit i thought Jesus put that all behind him? Thankfully god now does not intervene in the world to kill the unbelievers, mind you I wish he would intervene in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and other places of conflict but he's given up direct intervention.
Well as you pointed out Christians define murder based upon a foundational document. Whereas you appear to define murder based upon your own whim which is not supported by law in any sense. The law defines murder. The taking of a life in the name of Justice is not murder by any definition of society. It's merely an opinion.
The taking of the life of a baby in a womb is in conflict with God's laws and also the laws of man. How so you might ask. In most states if some kills a baby in a mother's womb without the mothers permission it is considered murder. Then the law contradicts itself and says if the mother gives permission the life of the baby may be taken. It's all very hypocritical. Either the baby is a life or it is not. It cannot be both life and not life at the same time. Would you support a changing of the law to allow someone to kill a baby in a mother's womb without her permission and not have it called murder?
