I would've been called a Fundy back in the day (& I was, right here in 
HOLYSMOKE, often.), but I never did find anywhere in the Bible where Christians
were commanded to be the morality police. Let alone with a right to issue the 
dearth penalty.

Capital punishment was only for the courts to determine, following a rigid
set  of principles & rules aimed to protect the innocent accused.

Killing in war was likewise much limited & that power was given only to the 
rightful government of the land, to combat evil &/or to protect one's people.

As for abortion, the Bible is clear that it's not a capital crime, & that 
killing a fetus is not murder--it's treated as a property crime, in God's
Words given to Moses. (the original Bible that is still  100% in effect for
Jews,  even per Jesus); Paul revised much of that Bible for the new sect he,
with  Peter & co, championed. But Pal, when push came to shove, identified as
a  Roman, not as a Jew.

Christianity (following the teachings & example of Christ) said to follow the 
Torah completely, without deviation, & to, in fact, follow it at a stricter 
level than is written.

Paulianity, however, is rather loosey-goosey.

My church, of which I was reverend, taught: "Don't be an arsehole; be nice to 
people."

Now, by guidance of the Holy Spirit, I am a Jew, & live by an amalgam of all 
the above rules, or try my best to abide by the highest standards in all my 
actions.
