Christianity has neither civil nor criminal law with which to address the question. However, the death penalty is well within mainstrean Christian moral tradition. Incidentally, one of the "Ten Comandments" is commonly misquoted in English as "Thou shall not kill." The proper translation is "Thou shall not murder."

PS: I grew up in Ohio Amish country and have personally known Amish people myself.

I grew up in Amish country and had dear friends in the Menonite Community.  There has never been a more simple and loving people.  Their whole ideology is different from any other Christian group.  They are complete pacifists and focus deeply on forgiveness.  That is far more than what other so called Christian groups do.

I ask you, how do you feel about a Christian society that uses the death penalty?  Do you feel it is within Christian Law to use Capital Punishment?

I also love Amish People,they are so cute and good people...
