Dan,
You are addressing church government in your post above, not civil government. Further, your assumption is one of abrogation of the Mosaic Law unless repeated, which is a flawed anabaptist misconception.
Do you believe that a man who curses his father or his mother should be put to death?
Cheers,
Good thing the Presbytery didn't catch Saul prior to his conversion:
1 Timothy 1:13: "...though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But a I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief...."
