Bible Question: what does god mean when he says in Gensis 9:6 "whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God he made man. |
Bible Answer: Basically, God is introducing capital punishment (the death penalty). See also Romans 13. Note verse 4. It is God's purpose for government to bring wrath on those who do wrong - even if it means death for the offender. Murder is the ultimate offense because God made man in His image. It is not our place to take the life of another (outside of what God has ordained - again, read Romans 13). |
