We're familiar with that incident and its implications. Having served on a jury, as I was reading this morning this thought crossed my mind. If you are being questioned as a potential juror for a capital offense, the prosecutors might ask "Would you be willing to assign the death penalty in the event of a guilty verdict?"
I have wavered on this, first believing in a death penalty, then thinking a life sentence with no chance of parole would be sufficient. My reasoning is this: A death sentence would keep a person from heaven, therefore eliminating his chances of eternal salvation. Consequently that would ultimately be an eternal judgement, and only God should make that.
My understanding has become clearer on that and I will detail it another time.
What do you think? Would you give a man a death penalty? Does that sentence have a place in our society?
