I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but I don't understand the logic behind this question. What are you trying to infer? Are you inferring that whatever laws or punishments were in order in the first century were endorsed by God or that He approved? They absolutely had death sentences - one carried out on our Savior as reference. But does that mean that God ordained that man should kill criminals? I'm not talking about the Law that Moses delivered to the people. Jesus became sin for us, taking its punishment, and removed the curse of that law. I'm talking about the civil law, which at the time was Roman. Was God fully behind, in favor of Roman civil law?
