Death penalty in the bible
Hello guys,
I'm a curious person and lately I had some contact to Christianity and the Bible. I really don't know anything basically, so I wanted to ask you for clarification.
I want to emphasize, that this is a serious question out of curiosity and not in bad faith.
I watched a video, where a Christian criticized someone who said the Bible justifies death penalty for a lot of things. This did not match my very surficial view of Christian beliefs.
So I looked at Book Moses 3 and was kind of shocked, that it really calls for death penalty. On the other hand, in the video, the person said theres no basis in Christian beliefs for such claims.
So this is where my question arises:
Am I missing something? Do I have to look at Moses Book 3 with context?
Thank you for your time.
