Subject: Why can God kill when he tells us not to |
Bible Note: Scripture ... Exo 20:13, Due 20:16-18; Jos 6:17-18; 1Sa 15:1-3; Mat 5:21-26; Rom 3:23, 6:23; 2Pe 3:9 ... TBTG, greetings ... Here are some additional thoughts. While God said not to murder, He did tell the Israelites to kill the people of Canaan for a very good reason (Due 20:16-18). He restated this twice (Jos 6:17-18; 1Sa 15:1-3). Jesus took muder to a higher level ... ourthought life (Mat 5:21-26). We all are sinners (Rom 6:23) and deserve death (Rom 6:23), yet God doesn't want to kill us (2Pe 3:9). Hope this helps, Searcher |
