Capital punishment is the defense by God's collective people of
God's law.  Paul said that government is an ``agent of wrath to
bring punishment on the wrongdoer'' (Rom 13, NIV).

Society doesn't define morality, it defiles the morality God
defined.  Sin keeps us from delighting in the true morality of
his Word.  We settle for temporary pleasures of the creation
instead of infinite pleasure in the Creator.
