Should Laken Riley's murderer receive the death penalty if convicted?

Mark 7

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Yes but it doesn't say MAN SHOULD KILL HIM.

Only God has that power. Not man.

Lot, Abraham's nephew had sex with his daughters.

Neither murderers nor the courts are "Christian". They are the "magistrates", the secular civil authorities, charged with law enforcement.

"Eye for eye" applies only in a certain context. One of the most misunderstood and misused scriptures in the Bible.

You shall not murder, is the correct translation.

Wrong. It says "thou shall not kill." Meaning all types of killing. True Christians believe that ONLY GOD has the right to end life. The only exception of course being self defense. But that's it. Even God himself said he takes no joy in killing evil people, he would much rather them repent and live. The words of the Lord.

One cannot say that they are for the protection of life and being pro-life then being content with killing someone based on the beliefs of 12 chosen sinners.

 

[Mr Natural]

But once he’s been executed his punishment ends.

I say let him rot away in some shithole prison the rest of his days where he can spend his days thinking about what he did.

100% for this. This is much worse than an easy way out, death.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city. And they shall say to the elders of his city. "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard." Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear

"Kill" in regard to the commandment is one of the most egregious mistranslations in the Bible. "Murder" is the proper Hebrew translation. Look it up. Also, do a work study on the word "kill". Israel was commanded to do a lot of killing.
