The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling this week that put executions back on the table.
It is a curiosity - at least to me - that the states keenest on executions have the largest proportion of Christians among their citizens while the states with the highest proportion of unbelievers have abandoned the death penaly.
Would someone please explain to me how executions can be reconciled with the Sixth Commandment and Romans 12:19?
The Sixth Commandment is very simple: "Thou shalt not kill."
Romans 12:19 tell Christians who will deal with the problem: "for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
