How can a person call themself "pro-life" when they are for capital punishment?

    Not all Christians are for capital punishment.

    With people not in fear of much punishment these days (from death sentences to short time in prison because of lack space) too many breaking the law, believing they can get away with almost everything. IF the Death Sentence was still going; crime would be far less.

    IF you read the Bible, you would find that even after Moses was given ALL of the 613 Commandments from God to the people, the first one to break one was collecting wood on the Sabbath. He was taken to God and sentenced to Death!

    Different commandments in different contexts for different people.

    The government has the authority to carry out capital punishment. They do "not bear the sword in vain." That's from the New Testament, even.

    How can you NOT be pro-life if you haven't committed suicide yet?

    YOU are also pro-life. You just might be pro-the-other-guy's-death because you lack moral values.
