BTW, and again I do believe killing another is justified in certain situations, (soldier, self-defense, defense of another,.....etc) also to include criminals but that later group would be a special circumstance. It would apply to people so horrible with a risk if they are allowed to live of...

(Christina;60431) It commands us to kill one who has murdered another in a premeditated (planed act) kill is a relative term are we to kill someone who accidentally kills someone, No, are we to kill someone who has killed in War, self defense, ect ..No, we are to kill one who has intentionally...

Again, when you have no response attack the person not the idea. The point would be relatives of murder victims should be allowed open season on the perp. Where is the scripture reference that says we should not allow this today? Or are you saying that would be ok with you as well???

Revenge killing would also be justified as long as the person was not in a revenge free zone (where would that be - Disney Land perhaps).Num 35:27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty...

We could solve over populations issues as well.Exd 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh [is] the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

And this would put an end to all the crazy lawsuits in our country- just kill the people responsible for any product or service that causes the death of another! Actually I could agree with also killing the lawyers representing both parties as well for good measure.Exd 21:29 But if the ox were...

Or mow down the heathens not in Church on Sunday!!!!Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

And while we are at it why not nuke San Francisco?Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

(SoldierforChrist;60420) Waquinas, the only thing you are basing your whole argument off of is the simple fact that God granted mercy to a few people. Can you not see how shallow your argument is. You are not addressing the fact that it is God's view on the matter, but simply jumping to a little...

(SoldierforChrist;60404) Wow Follower, great post. Also thank you very much for all those verses Swampfox! It surprises me(or should I say it doesn't) that the only two people that are arguing against the capitol punishment(waquina and jules c) are the only two people that have not given one...

(SoldierforChrist;60413) I have already pointed out the differnece between justified killing, and innocent killing or murder. God commanded the israelite all through the Bible to kill off entire nations of unbelieving God-haters. Was that wrong? No of course not. God has certain cituations where...

(SoldierforChrist;60412) First of all, the Bible states all through it the God does not change. He doesn't change his morals or beliefs as civilization progresses as you say. He still feels the same about murder as he did when he created the world. As to the three men that you are reffering to...

Have not accused anyone of anything. Don't be silly.Simply pointing out that the Bible does not support that as civilization evolved the idea that capital punishment be applied as it was in the early OT was meant to be a rule for all time and all places. Again if it were a universal law then we...

glad to see another who agrees. And I will say this was not always the way I felt, but came as part of me joining a Church that taught it is always wrong to kill as a means for humans to enact justice (killing for other reasons justified - Hussein already mentioned as at least a debatable...

And if that decree were carried out in every case, we would have no Paul, who is responsible for the bulk of the NT. There would have been no Moses to lead God's people. David comes to mind as well, a man after God's own heart committed murder for the most selfish of reasons, his own lust. No, I...

I think there is something to be said of looking at the whole Bible and recognizing a movement always away from what started as a very base set of standards toward a higher one.We are not told much about the goings on during Noah’s age but it must have been very bad for God to do what He did. In...

Again, have never said there is nothing to be gained from deep study or comparing the differences. My only problem is with the assumption that these occurances must be two events only because there are differences in the accounts. Am fine with studying and comparing the differences.By the way...

If those were the only choices then perhaps you would be making a point. If the first "opinion" was meant to represent my view of "inspiration" and why these two versions of the same event might be different from each other, then you do not understand my position at all. In my view there is...

well, the subject is that because the two views of a single event, the temptation of Christ by Satan, are different that it must be two different events. The question should be, is that only reasonable explanation of why we have two versions? I say no.The assumption is that these temptation...

Thanks Tom,To be clear have never denied the large people existed, in fact pointed out that they exist with us today. Nor did I claim the Bible is wrong or in contradiction, in fact I pointed out that with the unpopular view here the Bible is understandable and in concord with the whole. My view...
