1 | murder ok for david but not others why ? | 2 Samuel | Searcher56 | 18579 | ||
Drummer, Welcome to the forum. Is it murder to execute someone for a crime? No, that is justice. We all deserve death because we are sinners, however some are granted mercy (Rom 3:23, 6:23). David did have men excuted for a crime (2 Sam 4:12) and even gave orders to have Uraih killed (11:14). The latter was no okay, the first was justice. He even showed mercy to Mephibosheth (9:6). He gave orders not to kill Absalom (18:12). If there is another specific verse please cite it. Steve |

Different Opinion ................................ Drummer, I also would like to welcome you to the forum. One of the great things about this forum is that there are many people here with different ideas. Through sharing them we are able to get a more complete picture of many important concepts. For instance, although Steve and I agree on most things, we have different perspectives on this issue. This concept that you have brought up is one that has been brought up before. I would encourage you to use the search box at the top right of the screen to find many posts dealing with capital punishment. To start you might want to search for "old new fundamental". This will take you to a post of mine that talks about what was different about King David's time and today. |
