For many Christians, particularly in the southern United States, the death penalty for certain truly heinous criminal acts is a no-brainer; the thought being “what reasonable person wouldn't support the sanction of erasing murderers, rapists, child molesters, etc.”? But against this position there is a torrent of objections declaring that true Christians love forgiveness and should seek to restore. While the tumult rages on, the question remains: should Christians support or oppose capital punishment?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Dashawn Cousins discuss:
[03:29] - Where do you stand on the death penalty?
[09:14] - Does your view on God’s sovereignty affect your view of the death penalty?
[16:31] - Does the method of execution matter?
[24:48] - Should the death penalty only be used in response to the taking of a life?
[31:40] - Is the death penalty really a biblical issue?
