Subject: You shall not Murder, then told too?? |
Bible Note: 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. |
