Is it righteous to execute a criminal who killed another person?

[Akampurira Susan]

[Eteng Eteng]

Nice one dear

[David ubana okah]

It Is not righteous to me sir.

Rather it will be better when those evil fellows come to the knowledge of God

[Emmanuella David]

Is a No No for me

I’m not in support of this o, but this is what the bible says about this topic:

Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

What’s your take on this??

[Eteng Eteng]

As the devil, by whom men are led captive at his will, and the Romish antichrist, who leads multitudes of souls to hell; these shall be taken and cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.

He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword;
the design of the phrase is to show, that there will be a just retaliation made to the antichristian beast, for all his cruelty to the saints, and the murders of them; and that because he has shed much blood of the saints, blood shall be given him to drink, and he shall be used in like manner he has used others; see (gen 9:6)(matth26:52)

Here is the patience and the faith of the saint:
