They could, possibly, but they still deserve punishment

Punishment, not always death

Thats not the issue. Everyone can change. But these are people who hold to those beleifs.

Protestants and Jews were the main target during the Spanish inquisition.

"Vengence is mine alone, says the lord"

But throughout the Bible God commands the Israelites to kill evildoers

We are not to kill because they are deserving

Justice and vengeance are two very different things

I'm just trying to say that killing can be wrong and can be right in some instances

I’m not saying go around killing people

That is actually a very fair argument.

But I do believe that murderers should be executed

5th commandment: Thou shalt not kill. Only exception is self defense

God commanded the Israelites to kill in justice countless times through the Bible

The more extreme ones

Or in a situation of protecting someone.

Ones that killed a lot

That is the civil authorities job.

How can murderers be more or less extreme? They’re still murderers

Didn’t say it wasn’t

There is a LOT of debate on ascribed vs prescribed commands in the bible.

You can kill one person or you can kill multiple people for a specific reason

It’s still murder

Some people will only kill once because someone drove them to far and will not kill again. Others will kill and enjoy it, and will kill again. There is a difference there.

The 5th commandment is talking about murder. War and just execution are not bound by the 5th commandment

No difference. Both took a life

Yes there is.

I believe NoMercys original argument was against what happened during the inquisition though.

Let me pose to you two examples Paul

Well yes that was unbiblical

Also I love how your name is “no mercy” and you’re advocating for mercy

Mercy from justice that is

God gives us mercy from his just wrath

Yes.

We all know about some particular individual who gained the title of a serial killer. The killed for no reason other than they felt a desire to do so. That is my first example, they kill for no reason, they kill because they like it, and they cannot be trusted not to do so again.

There was a man who had a very good friend of his who he helped out of the gutters. He even helped him get a job and he treated him like family. However this man he help, kidnapped his kid, took him and left with him after the abduction. Eventually he was found and captured and he had raped his boy. The man had all the evidence that would send him away for life. But in the transporting of him, the father shot him in the chest killing him and then surrendered and gladly accepted his prison time.

That man killed once, and would not kill again, because he wanted his boy to sleep at night knowing he was safe and he would never have to fear that man again.

That is someone pushed to their limit and killing.

That is an extreme argument

example

Its still a example of the differences.
