CJA 204 Why Capital Punishment Should Be Supported

CJA/204

Abstract

This paper speaks about capital punishment and why I feel that capital punishment should be

supported. In the Bible, there are scriptures quoted by God and his son Jesus in reference to

supporting the death penalty. If the God we serve is not opposed to taking the life of a person

that has committed a crime of murder, then we as a people should not be opposed to the death

penalty.

Many people are opposed to capital punishment for various reasons. The main reason many

people are opposed to capital punishment has to do with biblical issues. I support capital

punishment because of what bible scriptures say and I honestly believe that god does not have a

problem with a criminals life being taken because of a severe crime...
