If you said ,"I can't kill anybody, even to protect my own," have you sinned against your loved ones?

It is a sin to permit a theif to harm you.\n\nShoot him down where he stands- even if the gore ruins your brand new recliner.

I do not take anything the bible says literally. I do not know if i will. You asked for honesty and this is what i am going to give. I do not know if i would. I do not even know if i would take one for a loved one. At that very moment i do not know what will happen. But i have learned to accept death. So if they have to die they have to and nothing i do will stop it.\nIf i am i guess that will be the day when i run infront the Gun. I really do not know what i will do at that point in time. I may think about my own life and why should i end it in that manner. I really do not know.\nAnd that is the honest truth.

Counter-Example: \n\nSo if I'm so angry with someone that I feel hate towards them and want to kill them, should I simply go ahead and murder them -- since I've already sinned and wanted them dead in my heart? \n\nOf course not.\n\nLooking at the context of the verse (Matthew 5:28), Jesus was dealing with men (Pharisees) who commonly thought it was okay to look lustfully at a woman as long as he didn't physically touch her. They made a distinction; God doesn't. He doesn't think it's okay to "use" someone internally, while just avoiding the pretense of sin on the outside.\n\nIt's a matter of the heart. God wants a good heart -- good motivations toward other people -- not JUST good external behavior.

Glad you aren't related to me! Yikes!  But, really though you do sound like you have some problems you need help with before you do something you will regret.  Call a mental help line or your doctor or if you really think you might hurt somebody just call the police & they will take you to a place where you can get help.  Please call them BEFORE you hurt or kill anybody ok?

its easy to say no and think your morally better then everyone else who has answered. but the truth is i believe every human when looking death in the eyes would let their natural instincts and their will to live kick in. if i was going to war e.g. concription WW2 id have to prepare myself mentally to do that. if i didnt i wouldnt survive to see her again and at this moment in time im willing to take away everyone elses happiness in order to keep mine. you can look at me as  bastard but im only being honest. give a man a gun he will shoot another. give him a reason to go home and he will win you a war

A jerk leveled a shotgun at a child, and I stepped between the two of them. I was enraged! He told me to move, I would not budge. He lowered the shotgun, and tried to explain his actions to me. I pulled my sidearm out, and called the police. I held the jerk at gunpoint until the police arrived. No charges were filed against me, since I acted in self defense of myself, and the child, my son. I could have died, but I will fight to the very death to defend my family, and friends.

Understandable.  ever heard the saying "kill her with kindness"?

Hey! I don't want to think about that. You are right. To be perfectly honest if someone from another country was in mine, and they killed a friend or relative I would seek revenge. That's just human nature.

It is forbidden to intentionally kill oneself. The person will repeat their act over and over in hellfires.

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing but I say that you are hurting someone ... it is yourself since you have to question you motives and you love this person.

It seems like people are avoiding the issue. What's being asked is if you will unquestioningly submit yourself to God. Whether you think God would want you to perform said action or would not be able to do this without you is not in question.\n\nIncident: God tells you to kill someone.\nYou are a self-admittedly insignificant being who could not begin to understand God. Whatever his motivation be, God has told you to do this.\n\nDo you comply?\n\n(My answer's no by the way, but I'm not religious so this question probably was not directed at me. I just think that some of the people passing judgement here are being hypocritical.)

I beleive that once you have commited a heinous crime against another human being, not petty thfts, but say theft with an agrivated assault thrown in, that you automatically lose all rights as being treated like a human being. You shoot a criminal in your house after he or she has just brutalized your family, and now he can sue you for assault ? Screw that, I will shoot him dead and let him try to sue me for that ?\n\nBefore someone tries to say that me killing a criminal in my own house is just as wrong, I will tell you that defending your family and property to an uninvited guest is NOT criminal, and would most likely be considered justifiable homicide.

Revenge isn't the answer. Killing and hurting people is wrong. Why would u want to sink lower than ur so called friend? I dunno what to say I'm just shocked that u would wanna kill people and have control over people in such an evil way.

Yes, I have.\nThat was someone who hurted me in every possible way - body, soul, dignity, etc. I was absolutely out for a year.\nI deeply hated that person and I wished he was dead more than anything in the world.\nBut after some time I realized that my hatred of him is bad for me only and I overcame it.\nNow, I don't even remember him, except that answer to you. :)

You bet - My life, or the person? I choose my life over the person doing me harm. I choose the life of a loved one over the person trying to do them harm. \n\nI own two guns and if someone comes into my home,  I'll see it as a direct threat.
