Here we go. Let's talk biblically about the death penalty, but first I just want to show you

Moxi, there she is. Here she is. She decided to hang out with us today and so there you go and that is all

the cutness you get because we're going to talk about the death penalty.

So the goal here, the agenda right now is

Bible over politics. That's my whole thing, right? I want scripture

over and above any concerns about preconceived

political commitments, ideations, all that kind of stuff, like I'm a Christian, I'm a follower of Jesus Christ in his words,

and the word of God has a much stronger place in my worldview and in my understanding of even things like

government, then my political affiliations. So if I start with the

Bible, do I end with the death penalty? And the answer is going to be yes. Like this is

actually really clear. I'm actually shocked how many Christians aren't clear on this topic,

but not shocked because they're like, you know, fools or something like that. I'm not trying to insult anybody.

I'm just surprised at how many Christians don't get these clear

teaching passages. So we're gonna walk through these clear verse

You know in passages that talk about the death penalty and explain it to us.

But I'm also going to deal with objections, right?

So here's some of the objections I'll handle after I walk through the text.

What about those who say Jesus rejected the death penalty when he rejected eye for an eye?

And he said, turn the other cheek.

What about people who say David?

King David should have had the death penalty but God pardoned him for killing Uriah.

Or John 8 where Jesus encounters a woman caught in adultery and he's he doesn't let anybody stone her so he rejects the death penalty. This is what some people would say or think.
