Bible Question (short): Why Wrong For Us and Right For God? |
Question (full): We all know murdering, killing is wrong that is not even much of a discussion. Murdering is killing someone. God said the life blood will be required of all those who kill someone. He never said there was a right reason for killing someone. Then God commanded Irael to go commit mass genocide in going about gettig rid of the pagan nations who were in the way of Israel gaining the promised land and in other situations. How is it that killing anyone for any reason is wrong, but then God says to go do it? Isn't this an expample of God being outside the Ten Commandments in terms of that He does not have to obey it, as in it does not apply to Him, but not as that He is somehow breaking it?
