1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
If after the death penalty is executed and evidence comes out that the prison was not guilty (rare but it has happened) would it then have become a sin or just a miscarriage of justice? Curious about your view rather than judging about it.
Who decides what is Justice?
Because Jesus told us not to revenge, but instead turn the other cheek and love our enemies
Bible tells us not to judge, as no one has measure. Which is absolutely correct. But society, priests and politicians "knows better". And as we are nothing but a product of those three, we gladly tout to their tunes, embedded into us from day one of our life.
Always refer to Milgram experiment asking this type of questions.
No. The death penalty was enacted by God Himself as recorded in Genesis 9:6.
Gen. 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.
The same Mosaic Law of which the ten commandments are a part mandates the death penalty for a number of different offenses. For instance, the penalty under the Mosaic Law for working on the Sabbath was death.
Exodus 31:15 'For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
Now, aren't you glad that we aren't under the Mosaic Law in this dispensation?
The death penalty was valid before the Mosaic Law was given to Israel and it is still valid after the Mosaic Law ended and which the church is not under.
Crime has to be punished, and for certain kinds of crime the death penalty is justified.

However, applying God's penalty would require having applied God's rules of evidence and judgment as well. Otherwise, the penalty is murder.

The state. Jesus' instructions were for His followers.
