The bible can be interpreted in many ways the idea of Capital Punishment can be found throughout, here is an example of capital punishment on an Ox.Exodus 21:28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.The ox is a fun example but you probably want human examples. How about killing a child because the cursed his parents.Exodus 21:15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.and again in Mark 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: Withcraft? Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.Cursing the name of the lord surely means you ought to be killed.Levitus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.http://www.flickr.com/photos/33749589@N07/3216210606/--
