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. |
Jesus ate with publicans and sinners, he came to seek and save that which was lost. The penalty for sin is death, but Jesus paid the penalty so that we don't have to. Those who repent and obey the gospel can attain eternal life, those who don't are sentenced to death at the final judgment.
1 Cor 6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
