They do. Such a thing is perversion, a sin that is disallowed.Double Penetration?
I wasn't aware they had rules about that.
As far as death penalty is concerned, Christ received the death penalty through false testimony against him.Even today, statics on the death penalty for certain crimes, researchers found back in the late 70s and early 80s That DNA evidence showed that 16% of people on death row could not have done the crime a jury found them guilty of based on several reasons of circumstantial evidence, once the strength of prosecution. The governor of Illinois was so stricken by these findings that he ordered no death penalty would be tolerated on his watch. I think the legislature may have agreed with him. A lot of states no longer administer death sentences against anyone due to witness confusion, witness covering up a crime, aggressive prosecution to satisfy the public anger, and other reasons. Other states impose the death penalty as they deem fit.
Since it's a little too easy to wrongfully accuse someone a person may hate based only on hatred, I now oppose the death penalty. I could be wrong, but if out of 100 executions, 16 are innocent of such a heinous crime, the only way to stop the carnage is to not use mechanical nor biological means to kill innocent people. The bible tells us not to kill nor accuse others falsely in Mosaic Law. Jesus did not come into the world, but to save the obedient to God's law.
Have a thoughtful evening, everybody.

Well, can't evidence count as one witness?technology has advancedI see nothing wrong with the death penalty if all the Biblical ducks are in a row. There must be at least two witnesses to a murder for a conviction.
