So, an unborn baby’s life is equal to a convicted felon’s life? Do you people listen to yourselves?

I hate to break it to you but murders were put to death under Mosaic law, the one God instructed Moses to deliver to the Israelites, Ex 19:12 is the place to where I reference. There is logic in the law for putting a murderer down. It keeps others from becoming murderers based on vengeance. What occurs are two things, there is justice for the one slayed, and the issue is put to rest which can allow people to heal. The same reason if an animal such as bull gored your loved one to death, it was put down, not out of vengeance but to allow the family to heal and not walk past the animal every day and be reminded of their loss, and it was a sense of justice that the owner paid a price.
All life is precious, but when the law comes down from The Almighty, you follow it, to presume to be more wise or Holy, or lenient than God is, starts one down a path that is not conducive to going astray. Although the law was given over 3000 years ago, doesn't make it any less relevant, especially considering the source.
Im not presuming, its how I interpret it. If its Gods will, then Gods will be done. But I dont consider the death penalty Gods will. Is the will of man. Yes, there are References to people being put to death for their Sins. But I dont see how those are instructions for all to take a life as they see fit. I consider it presumption that its ok to kill.
And beyond that we can incarcerate for life. No one here is advocating for people to just walk free. And I have worked on death row. Right next to some of the most vile of sinners that do not value life at all. In fact, some seek to take it.
And this experience is why I dont belive the death penalty should exist. Among those on DR. There were not a few but about half that did something dumb but without any malice. They will recieve the death penalty. One is there for killing his girlfriend and another in a car wreck. Lost control, wrecked, and everyone but him died in the crash. One is there for a house fire, that was started accidentally. There are many stories lime these.
The laws of mankind seem to be clear, but are not free from corruption and ill will. Those people responsible for deciding who lives and dies under death penalty are not God. They are not getting the word of God as instructions to do so. They are following a flawed execution of mans law that is almost completely blind to Gods will. If we cannot guarantee (and we clearly cannot) that all recieving death penalty are actually guilty under Gods law then the death penalty should not exist.
