Capital Punishment The question of whether capital punishment should be re introduced into Australia or not is a very touchy subject that everyone has his or her own opinion on. There are a lot of different aspects to take into consideration when looking at capital punishment and both sides of the argument can be very persuasive therefore its very easy to be swayed one way or the other. In my opinion I do not believe that capital punishment is justifiable no matter the cause. I personally can not justify killing someone though it has been a common practice for many years and has taken place in almost every part of the world the need to rise above this primitivist method is stronger then ever. Biblical views, the probability of loosing an innocent life and the psychological effect it has on society all have a bearing on why I have the opinion that I do. There are many arguments that one can make regarding capital punishment both for or against but it’s a topic that needs to be addressed and discussed with urgency because its relevant to everyone. Therefore under no circumstances can this subject be taken lightly at the end of the day a human life may be what hangs in the balance. The bible has a major affect on why I think capital punishment should be kept abolished. The bible is a very difficult text to understand as peoples interpretations can vary and the scriptures from Old Testament to New Testament are constantly contradicting one another though I think its still possible for one to gain understanding of what Gods actual view on capital punishment is. In the old testament scripture does say “an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth” these teachings have been given a new light under the New Testament were Jesus says “ you have heard it said before an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth but now I tell you if a man slaps you on the left cheek give him the other cheek also”.
