do you know what would've happened if they didn't do that?  i don't, but i'm sure god does... he has his reasons, he would rather kill off some people than let his own people die.... the ends justify the means

"Thou shalt not commit adultery."

if you have no mercy for others than you have no respect for God. God teaches us to have infinate love for everyone and to overlook her/his faults. God is All-Knowing and therefore is capable of judging God's creation accurately. so we can't judge one another. There is a Hidden Word that says "love Me that I may love thee, if thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee..." so yes, i agree that God will not have mercy on those who have not shown mercy to others.

I'll answer the direct question. Peace is a blessing from God, why would any Christian refuse for advantage a wonderful blessing from God?\n\nNumbers 6:26\nthe LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." NIV

ask them, How do you understand the following verse from the Bible, and doesnt it meant that Jesus cant die for our sins?\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).

Look at Romans 12:19 in the KJV of the Bible it says" Beloved,do not avenge yourselves,but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Also see Deuteronomy 32:35 & 41.

The Bible does NOT tell us, in the Ten Commandments, "Thou Shalt Not Kill." What it actually says is, "Lo Teer-Tzach," which means, "Thou Shalt Not Murder." There is a difference between Murder (RaTZaCH) and Kill (HaRaG). \n\nIf the Ten Commandments read Thou Shalt Not Kill, then you could not defend yourself in war, or, for that matter, against someone who was trying to murder you. You could not eat meat of any kind, or anything for which an animal had to die to obtain it. But, since it says Thou Shalt Not Murder, meaning to take another's life when it is immoral to do so, then we can claim our dominion over the earth and over all the animals, as we are given in the Biblical Book of Genesis, and take the life of a fly, cockroach, or mosquito. Sometimes we do indeed have to kill an animal, even a mosquito, cockroach, or even a fly. They all spread deadly  diseases and can cause severe allergic reactions, and must be eliminated from our home and other environments in which we live. The problem is knowing when it is right, and moral, to do so, (killing) and when it is wrong, and immoral, to do so (Murdering). Outside the house i do not kill cockroaches, but in my own house, i certainly do. Outside my house, and off of my own property, i do not kill ant-hills, but in my house or on my property, i certainly do.

That answer above is awful.  The Bible says thou shalt not murder.  A baby is innocent. It's only mistake was that it was born to a mother that didn't want it.  Wars which also include innocent people are not completely innocent.  There will always be killing when it comes to good versus evil.  Sometimes its for good reason and sometimes its not.  But a baby is not a war.  A baby is a human breathing life, not a fetus, a life.  Anyone who is a Christian and has an abortion isn't really a Christian at all.  Jesus called children precious.  He didn't call them fetuses.  He didn't call them blobs of tissue.  He said it was a blessing to carry a child and be parents.  I don't understand how any church that says its Christian can condone abortion.

If someone kills in the name of God, they have been duped.  They fell victim to irrational thinking.  The god they serve is not God the creator (the giver of LIFE), but rather the god of death (Satin).  God promotes life. "Be fruitful and multiply."  God promises everlasting life, sent Jesus to overcome death.  Why would God go through all the trouble of creating life only to have others destroy it?  Makes no sense.

look at the story. Jebhthah never ask God what to do so in a macho way he delivers up this prayer. since you do not seem to mind reading the old testament how many leaders ask God how to overcome their enemies?but Jebhthah never takes the time to find out what God wants to do and does it his own why. is that what God wanted (His Will) very much doubt it since He destroys nations for sacrificing their children. but Jephthah never took time to find out Gods will.if you do not seek Gods will in your life you can justified every sin, such as this one.

I believe when Christians rewrote the Commandment they intended the term "kill" to refer to human beings therefore having the same meaning as the Hebrew.  There is a lot of discussion on defending oneself though.  Jesus said to turn the other cheek in the New Testament.  The early martyrs of the Church did just that.  They didn't fight back when the Romans and others feed them to the lions or tortured them.  They literaly turned the other cheek and went to their deaths, not defending themselves or killing anyone therefore obeying the Commandment"Thy shalt not kill."  Therefore for a lot of Christians, the death penalty and killing that takes place in war is just as abominable as abortion.  Pro Life and Anti abortion are two totally diffferent takes on this commandment. I won't turn this into a debate on that though, but in my opinion, killing another human is wrong no matter what the circumstance.  This is what God told us and He didn't make any footnotes when He gave us the Commandment.  This is my opinion only.

This was a statement made by one of the leaders during the Crusades when a Christian soldier asked him how he was to determine who was Christian and who was not in the Holy Land because he did not want to kill other believers.\nSo to me this man was saying that killing innocents in war was justifiable because when they died God would know if they were innocent or quilty.  \nProblem is God also knows that your conscious is telling you that killing innocent people is wrong, thus bringing guilt upon yourself too.\nIf you make this statement now I would still believe you are referring to the killing of many people in war and I would still suspect that you are talking about a war between two different religions, ie Christian and Muslim etc.

Firstly, it's not the first commandment--it's buried somewhere around the middle.\n\nSecond of all, the bible has a huge list of exceptions to that particular rule.\n\nBesides, since Judaism evolved from the worship of a Canaanite God of War, it's unlikely that his Judaic descendent would be anti-war, would he?

How do you justify spiritually the killing of another human being, when you are the President of a country? It it the fastest draw theory? Is it God told you it is OK? Is it because when God said, "Thou shat not kill", He was talking to someone else other then you?
