Category:Capital Punishment

This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.

Capital Punishment refers either to the civil death penalty (a destruction of the body by civil magistrate), or to the ultimate death penalty (the second death), depending on whether it is mentioned in the context of the Moral Law or the Civil Law. Granting that all crimes against the Moral Law make us worthy of the second death, this page will mostly concern itself with a discussion of the specific crimes which merit the civil death penalty.
