Jesus says "For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions" (Mathew 6:14-15). Therefore, if you do not forgive the murderer for his sin then God will not forgive you.

He is saying that 2 wrongs do not make a right. You do not need to do the same thing that a person did to you just to get even. Mathew 5:21 says, "You have heard that the ancients were told, 'You shall not commit murder' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the Supreme Court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."

After adding up all the costs, the death sentence in fact costs in between 2 and 5 million dollars per execution with all the special trials and appeals, while life in prison only costs 1 million.
             Also capital punishment is very rac
