The bible may say an eye for an eye. But one of the 10 commandments is Thou shalt not kill. No exceptions!

Awesome question Ryan! The unhypocritical answer is, "yes". Who are we to say who God talks to and who He doesn't? Afterall, if one of your buddies told you today that God spoke to Him in a burning bush, the Bible suggest that you may want to take his word for it.\n\nThis is a major problem with the Bible, and one of the reasons it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to believe everything in it. Me personally, I wouldn't kill if I thought God asked me to because I don't believe God is a killer but rather I think he is a creator. I could be wrong, but I'll take the chance.\n\nAndrea Yates said God told her to kill her children. In fact, she was quite the Christian, as was the young women who sawed off her 3 month old's arms stating God told her to do it. How do we know, considering that God commanded parents to kill their children numerous times in the Bible?

Just what you do with them ? I agree , a killing is a killing and I think it started with an eye for a eye or revenge . \nAs it says in the Bible , " Vengeance is mine , " saith the Lord and I don't seem to remember him saying , that it's alright to kill someone that hurts you . \nAm I right or wrong , just asking ? If your against killing baby's then why not against all killings \n But do we really help society , by killing one another .?\n Does it really deter  murderers , doesn't seem to , in the studies I've seen .

It depends on the Muslim. Like Christianity, there are lots of different interpretations of the faith, and lots of people trying to force the faith to fit around what they *want* to believe (To quote Mr Hicks, "I believe what God *meant* to say was...").\n\nApparently some christians are trying to 'reinterpret' one of the ten commandments from "Thou shalt not kill" to "Thou shalt not murder", and then interpret murder in such a way that if the state kills, it's not murder. All so they can justify the death penalty.\n\nYou've got to admire the effort they've gone to. Most people just turn a blind eye.\n\n\nAaaanyway, soon the Flying Spaghetti Monster will return, and sort all those heretics out.\n\nRamen.

How about the Bible? Read Numbers 31 where a whole tribe of people, including the elderly and children are slaughtered. The only survivors were the virginal women, who were later raped by the “just and perfect” Moses and his men. Is that what you want your children reading on Sunday?\n\nI'd call that pretty extreme...\n-SD-

The Bible teaches that followers of Christ will be riddiculed and will suffer for their beliefs. Consider the fate of 11 of 12 apostles - murdered for their belief. satan is the god of this age, the prince currently ruling. As such, all goodness and light is despised by those he claims and rules. Recognize that the things of God are "as foolishness" to those whose eyes are blinded and hearts are hardened. Pray for them. Good luck - and do not grow weary while doing good - galatians 6 6-10

I agree. very nasty. the Bible says one woman to each man, and vise versa. this is paraphased, of course.

If someone is imposing their will on yours, then you may kill that person.  That's how I understood it when I read the Satanic Bible.  The whole book seems to be very self-oriented; if anything offends you, get rid of it.  They are just as nuts as all the other religions.

Truth that the devil does not want you to know.  \nJoh 12:40  He (the devil) hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I (Jesus)  should heal them.

It also says that God is VERY angry.  The bible clearly describes how he brought plagues, floods, and firestorms to kill thousands of people.  He also had millions more killed in the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Holocaust.  In the Bible people are supposed to be stoned for violating any one of the hundred biblical laws.  If the church got its way then very few of us would still be alive.  It is a good thing they lost the power to execute people at will without any justification.  I hear the church is still bitter about that fact.

Just like all Scripture, this one too, is often misquoted by people who do not understand the context or the meaning. So, while it's sad, we need to pray for them to have their eyes opened and try to gently instruct them (1Corinthians 12:31) "in a more excellent way". \n\nUnless you undersstand the culture of the time, it would be easy to misunderstand the verse. When God gave this law to Israel through Moses, it was set as a "Maximum" penalty. In other words "you shall take no MORE than an eye for an eye".\nExodus 21 goes on to say that if you strike a servant of yours and they lose an eye or a tooth, you should set them free on account of the eye or the tooth.\nLeviticus 24:22 (repeating the same command) the also says that it applies without respect to persons (whether a native or a stranger).\nWhen Jesus Quoted this passage he went on to explain that to fulfill this law means not taking any vengeance.\nMatthew 5:39-49

Whew.That's a bold post, but funny in a very informing way.  I see there's a lot of imbeciles that just didn't get  that you are pointing out conflicting points in the Bible and in Religion.  \n\nChristians must have had their sense of humor removed at the same time when the docs surgically implanted those blinders.

So sad....\nThe Bible prohibits the killing of innocent people (Deu. 19:10). "Thou shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13, NKJV; Genesis 9:5).\nlook how "John the Baptist" responded in the womb to the presence of Jesus, who was newly conceived in the womb of Mary (Luke 1:39-44). \n\nYou shall not slay a child by abortion, if you dont like to have a baby ... DONT SEX!!!
