127. No, I'm against the death penalty on principle alone, and the Jews murdered Jesus thing is just...
antisemitism along with the schizophrenic nature of christian belief. An example would be that Jesus' death was predicted, at least according to the gospels, so what happens to free will in that situation? Another example of diametrically opposed beliefs that Christians have.

To put it simply, Christian beliefs on the death penalty are up to the individual Christian to believe, there is no correct position, their Bible supports the death penalty for all sorts of things, but Jesus' life and death could be interpreted to be anti-death penalty.
