1 | is it ok to kill? | Eccl 3:3 | Country Girl | 125156 | ||
I think these scriptures and general thinking from God as well as those in Romans in support of a sovreign government is sufficient grounds to believe and practice captial punishment for capital crimes. This is further endorsed by recent history of our country. When a large group of people such as a nation go for a long extended period of time without the option of executing murderers, it breeds disrepect and continued lawlessness in others. So it appears to be a perfectly solid conclusion for a nation to endorse a policy of having criminals that choose to "live by sword, then they can die by the sword" and be executed for capital offenses. Blessings to all those studying AND obeying God's Word. Country Girl |

2 | is it ok to kill? | Eccl 3:3 | DocTrinsograce | 125227 | ||
Yes, sometimes we must use violence in order to prevent a greater sin. Note that the intent is not for any self centered or empassioned reasons. The difference is that as believers, as soon as the sinful act has been prevented, we immediately seek to aid the injured would-be-criminal by calling an ambulance. Nevertheless, I pray that God will not see fit to place me into such a situation. | ||||||
