Permitted, but I'd rather they get a Bible and daily scripture readings than get killed.
So perhaps my selection would be that the NT teaches it's "Permitted, but not the best option".

I see no prohibition. I think we need to start public hangings and firing squads again.
That reminds me that way back in the day I was going to Community College in San Diego, CA and my major was Criminology Corrections... Our teacher asked what would be a good deterrent to crime?... So I raised my hand and he called on me... Well I said, we could put a guillotine in the city square?... It kind of shocked him
... But the class got a laugh... Brother Glen
I see hangings to be reserved for traitors to the country. Firing squads should be reserved for enemy executions and drowning for Heinous crimes like rape, child molestation and murder. We can discuss public burnings and drawn and quartered for another time. All should provide a deterrent to crime.
Given the number of innocent people that have been falsely accused??!!

I agree.
Some Christians support the death penalty. Others abortion. Potato, potahto. The only difference is their justifications.
They do in New Jersey, but I sincerely doubt it is followed for Godly reasons.
Now your argument should be with the courts not the death penalty

No. It's not even the same conversation.
Not the same conversation, I agree. But the same heart and same sin.
No, because executing a person guilty of a Capital crime is not a sin.
Same principle. No difference (for a Christian). And yes, it is a sin except perhaps it meet the qualifications listed in Scripture (which is very rare in the secular judicial system).
Big difference. One is sin. One is not.
Both are sin. The ONLY pisdible exception is it meet the Biblical qualifications (which is rarely the case).
Executing a convicted murderer is not sin.
By the testimony of two and under a theocracy maybe not. But even that is pushing it.
Anyone who would support the death penalty (under a secular government) would support abortion except for their personal preference. The immorality is the same.
Actually many who are pro-abortion - are anti-death penalty (which makes no sense)
and many Pro-life are are Pro death penalty - because the baby has no choice - but the convicted murder made his own choice
