Jay Dyer defends the use of the death penalty in a just society, citing the Justinian Code and Romans 13 as foundations for the state's "power of the sword." He argues that capital punishment serves as a loving deterrent by preventing wicked people from causing further harm. Dyer clarifies that while he doesn't expect an immediate Christian state, the state still has a divinely appointed duty to uphold justice.
