Best Answer

There is nothing in The Bible to suggest that Jesus believed in capital punishment. The gospels tell us that Jesus believed in forgiveness. there is some debate on the matter. Jesus often preached to forgive, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and so on. however, he often tells his followers to look to the Old Testament, which contains many offenses that explicitly call for the death penalty.

god loved us so much he sent his one and only son that who ever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life, so your answers is when the leaders of the court asked jesus if he was the mesiha he did not answer. why because god promised he would send his son and jesus was his son so he didn't answer because he knew he had to die for our sins.

God is a loving God not a fearful God where you have to fear him like you do ala or budah.

This statement is debatable. There are people who believe that America has a subculture of violence and that we glorify guns and are therefore more likely to use the death penalty.

There is also a Southern Exceptionalism in which people in the south believe in and use the death penalty more because of its history of racial discrimination and it's subculture of violence.

Why were other people crucified with Jesus?

Crucifixion was not something that was uinque to Jesus. It was an accepted form of punishment for certain crimes carried out by the 'law' in the time of Jesus. The law being Roman rule, enforced by Roman soldiers. Jesus was sentenced to death after being accused of blaspheming by claiming to be God in the flesh. Blaspheming carried with it the death penalty, much as first degree murder does in our modern courts. I believe that scripture tells us that at least one of the men cruicified with Jesus was a thief, which was punishable by death.
