The Bible is clearly for capital punishment, and it clearly does not say war is wrong in itself, but it does not promote it as a good thing. God uses war many times in the OT to punish people.
Basically I see it like this. The Bible is not a legal document, but it is more like a moral compass (its second purpose, its first purpose is to reveal Christ). It is the best place for people to look and see the right way to live. Obviously certain parts (in the OT escpecially) were pointed directly at Isreal and do not apply to Modern day countries. However, I believe all the Bible is profitable (I Timothy 3: 16-17) and we kind still use the principle behind the out dated laws.
A good example is where in Leviticus it says we should offer our best lamb (spotless) on the Sabbath as a sacrifice. I obviously do not believe that still applies, but I think I can still take something from that. I can take that when I am doing something for God I should give him my best, whether it be work, or whatever. So my view is you cannot count out any of the Bible because there are still underlying principles that apply.
