God gave life and only god can take it away. In murdering a murderer you are playing at being god and had no more right to do so than them in the first place. Even if he does deserve death no human is qualified to make that decision. We are on gods earth at gods grace and mercy. He said thou shall not kill. Full stop. He didnt add "unless they already killed someone else then that makes it ok".

But from a moral/ethical and christian perspective it is wrong no matter how you dress justice up.

Amen.

Also (off topic but from another thread regarding the execution) to me, the short term gratification of watching an execution would be no more fulfilling than it would be disturbing. Those watching death administered from the confines of a viewing room are merely voyeurs without lotion and tissue. Revenge breeds revenge.

technically its you shall not murder, but you are still killing someone who is no longer a threat to you...
of course this brings up the question of whether there is such a thing as just war.  Especially since especially in the first gulf war the battles were practically organized high-tech murder.

Also the question of whether Christians can fight...ah good times.  Wheres AD when you need him...

Christians can fight.  I would hope that if someone were to break into your home, threaten your family, freedoms, etc, etc. you would defend yourself.  I know I would.

Well, Christ did tell the disciples to go and buy daggers for their defense. Turn the other cheek only goes so far. Revenge killing is wrong, but self defense is not.  ;)

ah that passage...that one is under heavy debate, and when Peter did use it, he was heavily rebuked.
