<<I do believe in capital punishment (with scriptural backing) and think it should be more prevalent than it now is.>>
There is no scriptural backing for capital punishment in the New Testament. The New Testament gives us the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you do not accept the teachings of Jesus Christ, you do not accept Jesus as the Christ. If you do not accept Jesus, you will go to Hell - you yourself have said this. I am not condeming you, you do it yourself when you deny Jesus.
