GOD is sort of, the exocutioner of us all, and we are all going to die, physically, for our sins, but as for people on death-row, GOD is not just killing them off.

True. And it must be because He doesn't want to kill them. Up to Him, really.
As for wanting
us to kill them, I'm not buying it. All of your examples are from the OT, I believe. He never used people in the NT. Only did it Himself.
Besides, the convictions of innocent people are more than enough for me to be against the death penalty. Many death row inmates have been exonerated (lucky for them, before it was too late), and no one know how many executions of innocents there have been.
