They kill people for numerous crimes.

Those who are in charge. State/government, laws governing
our land. You didn't realize that already?
The New Covenant isn't an imaginary covenant.
We live in the New Covenant. In the NC, our sins have been taken away. They were paid in full by the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
(Rom 11:27) And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
The Apostle Paul quoted the prophecy from Jeremiah because the prophecy was fulfilled in Christ Jesus.
You're absurd.
In 1700's England over 200 crimes were punishable by death, including cutting down a tree, and stealing a rabbit.
Could you execute someone for cutting down a tree?
Could you execute someone for stealing a rabbit?
You claim be a follower of "Paul's Gospel"
Can you show us where in Paul's Gospel we are told to kill people for certain sins?

You're speaking of the Law of Moses, which was given to the JEWS.
It certainly is another matter. It's a matter of Law and Grace..... condemnation and eternal life. Do you need me to preach the Gospel to you right here in this thread?
If you think it's ok to kill someone for a sin, you have no idea what the gospel says.
As I asked GM, please show me where the Apostle Paul said to kill people for certain sins?

Murder was forbidden by the law of Moses. Do you think God still wants murderers put to death in this life but not adulterers, witches and sabbath breakers?
I no longer believe in killing anyone who commits a serious act of violence or sexual abuse or both.
We need to lock some of these people up for life--I'm not denying that. They need to be studied by doctors to understand why a person becomes a sociopathic murderer or a person who believes violence is the only way to respond to human conflict.
There have been some amazing breakthroughs that have filtered down to the public's awareness. A lot of it has to do with how a person is raised, and what sort of genetic code s/he has.
We are right on the cusp of many more breakthroughs.
Keep them alive. Study them. Learn what they are all about.
Be able to predict future criminal behavior.
Stop killing the innocent by mistake or design.

Then why should murderers be put to death "in this life" by a different standard?
You're just making that up. It's a foolish doctrine. Adulterers should be executed by the same standard you apply to murderers, or both should be shown mercy like you were shown mercy.

Do you believe anyone deserves to be executed for any crime?
No. It only feeds revenge fantasies and scapegoating of others.

Why did God command the execution of adulterers and murderers?

Religious feelings aside, any case of adultery shows the need for execution for the good of society.
yep, there are way too many to list that show the need for it.
Define justice.

What about HIV- rapists? Why not just say any rapist deserves to be executed for the good of society? :think:
We commanded the execution of adulterers, murders--even whole populations of people.
God just makes sure the laws of physics operate in their usual "divine consistency."
Why is Jesus against welfare and is for capitalism? Because his believers WANT him to be. It makes them feel good about themselves.
Humans usually project their own fears on others. God has no fear.
He is above finite humanity in all respects.
The God of Jesus was not violent or played one against the other.
