1 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | TShea | 3182 | ||
EX20:13 You shall not murder. A command from God. Then the people get out of control in Ex 32:27 He said to them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'Every man of you put his sword upon his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbor.' " Question is Why would God Say not to Murder then turn around and tell them too? |

2 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | joshua | 17642 | ||
I would like to ask the same question since it seems rather contradictory to me. Unless God is saying that it was ok then to kill those whom he commanded to kill. Really does not make senxe. I can obey childlike but it does not mean that i understand. I suppose it is the same idea with the angels. they would not understand why lucifer was thrown out if they are looking into the salvation of men with interest. | ||||||
3 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | Sir Pent | 17660 | ||
Dear Joshua, I also struggled with this "appearant contradiction" for a long time. However, I discovered what I believe is a good explanation for why killing in the Old Testament (especially when directly commanded by God) was OK. At the same time I discovered that killing in the New Testament (after the resurrection) and in the present is NOT OK. This whole topic has been discussed at length on the forum though. I would suggest typing the words "absurd confusion" into the search box at the top right. It will take you to a post that I made on this subject in the middle of an extensive thread on the matter. That thread will hopefully answer your questions, but if you have more feel free to ask. |
