I've been researching the Death Penalty, and have come to the conclusion that it it Biblically backed and right to apply to certain criminal deeds.
The Old testament clearly condones it, and the New Testament never refutes it, the New Testament actually seems to back it if you take Romans 13 and a few other spots into consideration.
Can anyone tell me why it would be wrong?

Parhaiten pystyn ilmaisemaan ajatuksiani äidinkielelläni, kuten ilmeisesti sinäkin. Tervetuloa keskusteluun!
Täytyy sanoa, että vaikka en ole syvemmin pohtinut kuolemanrangaistuksen soveltamista räikeissä tapauksissa, so there is in the New Testament a point: (ROMANS 6:14-17). "We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is,it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me... read on.
Vertailulla näistä kohdista saa sen johtopäätöksen, että tuleeko kuolemantuomiolla se oikea rikollinen tapetuksi?
Death Penalty is acceptable if your country allows it and it is judged under the official authority. Otherwise it is not right according to the Bible.
One of the Gods commands is missinterpreted to mean "You shall not kill" even if the original meaning was "You shall not murder". The Capital punishment is not murdering. It happens under the authority of God.
I agree that the countries which accept the death penalty are in the right, and the ones which do not are also right. To me though, the Bible clearly condones the death penalty. Romans 13 speaks of submission to the authorites. The sword which is mentioned is clearly the death penalty. God the right to kill when he wants, we do not. Unless God gives us the right to do so. Which in my interpretation he does in Romans 13
