seriallink: My friend is a dedicated Christian; he killed in self defense, though acquitted in court, he still feels guilty of murder and think it's terrible sin! Do you guys think it's a sin?

Did he kill with hand,gun or plank?

Lol...

But when a disciple does cut off the ear of his persecutor the same Jesus would rebuke that disciple...:-).....

We could emulate the examples of the apostles who emulated Jesus......

And it is true that when Jesus is given all the kingdoms by his Father he'll carry out war against the nations.....but for now we gotta be careful.....let's wait till then....

Remember I was only trying to ask:::

Hope this scenario is not the same when a christian faces persecutions for righteousness sake and decides to fight back.........


Brah, I won't let anyone kill me, even if it's persecution! Na wa oh, I be Jesus? We go throw blow tire grin

you've never had someone share your pains, have you?
You're a Christian right? If you're one then I'll expect you know that the reason why Jesus makes a good mediator is coz he can feel n understand our pains and sufferings. You don't think there are humans like that? It really is a gift not many possess, just like the ability to make trouble is not foreign to some people.

No. You are wrong. Jizz-Us said "turn the other cheek". He also told people not to defend themselves.

Matthew 5:38-40


38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.

Well your name said it all.....and by the way the spelling is JESUS not Jizz us...... angry [

The next question I should ask is - is it right for a christian to learn martial arts for self+defence?
Is it right for a christian to fence his house and install alsatian dogs and buy guns keep for house?
Is it right for a christian with martial arts knowlege watch an unarmed man molest his wife/fiance and do nothing?

AHHH BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN PARABLES AND HIDDEN WORDS. PSALMS 78 I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things <<<< HOW THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN. PARABOLIC. THAT STATEMENT IS NOT A LITERAL STATEMENT. YOU SHOULD NOT TURN THE OTHER CHEEK LITERALLY IF SOMEONE IS SLAPPING YOU. THAT VERSE YOU QUOTED IS A EUPHEMISM FOR 'LONG-SUFFERING'. ITS A HIDDEN WAY OF TELLING YOU THAT YOU SHOULD BE LONG-SUFFERING. ITS NOT A LITERAL VERSE.

Re: Is It A Sin To Kill In Self Defense? by greatgod2012(f): 10:43am On Nov 16, 2012
I think its not a sin, its an instinct, a survival instinct.


Stands to be corrected anyway, if im wrong.
Re: Is It A Sin To Kill In Self Defense? by Truckpusher(m): 10:44am On Nov 16, 2012
if the person that was killed have been subdued and could've been taken hostage/arrested and your friend, still agravated went ahead to give the final blow then he has committed murder.

Parables are earthly words with heavenly meaning and only the ILLUMINATED ones can decipher it.

Your friend might actually be guilty of murder since his conscience is still pricking, or rather he has a very soft heart to absorb the fact that a life was snuffed out by him.

Were u there when it happened?
No?

Its not a sin killing in defense. ''you are fool to have died like that, can't you even try. Thats akin to suicide.'' God will say when u meet Him!

Moses was still an unbeliever then.
Besides, he didnt mean to kill the Egyptian. He had to run away. He was remorseful about what happened.
In a way ''Im sorry God'', and sin forgiven!
