Pacquiao cites Bible: Government can kill criminals

It's wrong for individuals to kill people but not so for governments.

Sen. Manny Pacquiao, invoking what he said was a verse from the Bible, stood pat on his argument that the revival of the death penalty would not run counter to Christian teaching, in spite of Pope Francis' statement that capital punishment was "inadmissible."

"I agree it's wrong to kill, okay, individually, we're forbidden from killing … but you can read in the Bible, the authority, meaning the government, is given power to impose death penalty," he told reporters.
