None of them, because none of them are on the books today. Do not murder? Murder is called a human right. Do not steal? That's how governments survive. Do not commit perjury? That's a lawyer's job description. Do not commit adultery? People hate God so much, they even celebrate homos pretending to be married.
Also, your question — the one I quoted, not the other version you opened with — you do not know what a Christian is. A Christian is a man who confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour. His relationship with the law is irrelevant.
To your other question: Governments are obligated to uphold the law. They universally don't and make criminals of people who do the state's job for them.

Do you advocate for the death penalty for murderers? Why/why not?
Do you advocate for the death penalty for not keeping the Sabbath? Why/why not?

No. I said the death penalty is not inherently evil.

you have claimed that a friend was raped, i believe
can you explain why that rape was anyone's business other than your friend and the rapist?

Argument from absence? You know that's not a valid argument.
These types of people are never helpless so long as they continue to breath. Their goal in life is to destroy others.

so God should have specified "no imprisonment"?
isn't that covered by the laws against kidnapping? Isn't that what imprisonment is?

Using the internet isn't decreed by God. Is it therefore inherently evil?

Was imprisonment/confinement a possible choice when God gave the Law to Moses? Of course
Was the internet? nope
were certain aspects of using the internet that apply as well today as three thousand years ago? of course

Imprisonment may have been impractical or even impossible for a people wandering in the desert.
Anyway... Do you advocate for the death penalty for Sabbath breakers?
There is a great need for massive prison reform. Starting with. ... using prison for ONLY those who can be reformed.

shackled and bound men can walk - the Babylonians knew this
the answer i'd like to give to the sabbath question would be more nuanced than I can handle right now, but i would like to touch on "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" - I think it was an understandable and inevitable mistake of the founding fathers to exclude God from the constitution - one we've paid for to some degree throughout our country's history and one which we're paying for in spades today. I foresee the end of this country in my lifetime.

How do you determine which OT capital offenses are nuanced, and which aren't? God did not decree that you should do that. Perhaps doing so is inherently evil.

How can we know with certainty who will eventually repent and who will not?
