Subject: 'Conscientious Objection' Biblical? |
Bible Note: I think they can be Christians that have mistakenly accepted a humanist position. That position then puts them in conflict with the word of God. God clearly said that if "thou shall not kill" and if you do murder someone, you have then forfeited your life and are to be executed. If you justify the sanctity of life by saying you shall not kill youI think they can be Christians that have mistakenly accepted a humanist position. That position then puts them in conflict with the word of God. God clearly said that if "thou shall not kill" and if you do murder someone, you have then forfeited your life and are to be executed. If you justify the sanctity of life by saying you shall not kill you have to accept the punishment. If you justify the sanctity of life by some other value system you have just applied a humanist value, and have entered into humanist reasoning. When you enter into humanist reasoning you open the door which allow justifying various types of murder we see so common today. Murder where there was “extenuating circumstances”, “justifiable murder” (yea your guilty but the person deserved to die), “abortion”, and etc. Now I’m not saying all people that are against the death penalty accepts any these, they may and hopefully do stand strong against each one. The fact remains that by ignoring God’s definitions and values as it pertains to life and the penalties for one who violate them, they have opened the door that allowed humanist reasoning to come in and the results are what I speak about above. They are then by definition a humanist. have to accept the punishment. If you justify the sanctity of life by some other value system you have just applied a humanist value, and have entered into humanist reasoning. |
