According to
Romans 1:32 the death penalty for capital crimes is still valid. Otherwise, ALL capital punishment (like for murder) is invalid and wrong.
Was God ever wrong when he said rapists, fornicators, murderers, etc should be sentenced to death by the courts?
Also, if a slave ran away, it was against God's law to forcibly return the escaped slave to his or her owner (
Deut 23:15). Slaves could only serve until the end of the sixth year, in the Sabbath year they were set free (
Deut 15:12), unless they voluntarily chose to remain for life (
Deut 15:16-17).
There were also laws for concubinage, however since Bible law encompasses BOTH Testaments, monogamy has always been the norm in "Christian" societies.
The Inquisition was anything and everything BUT theonomic.
