waldigit:



I can see double standard here each time you people see something to support your view in the bible you suddenly become bible believer, but if what is being referred from the same bible do not favour you, you immediately turn around to say the account is falsified.
The logic is this if you believe what you have quoted is true, then you must adopt every other part of the bible including the ones that says Jesus is the son of God hence also God. You must accept Him as your Lord and personal saviour to be saved. Anything short of this is double standard insincerity. Shalom.
i love this reply

SHALOM!

ShobayoEmma:
Dear Nls, pls i will like to know if killing in self denfence and other related killings like in the line of duties as regards to war amount to sin before God. waiting for your valuable views.

. EXODUS 20:13.

13. "Thou shalt not kill."

SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.

If you Transgress The Law, say, by KILLING, you have SINNED.

WHY you Sinned is IRRELEVANT.

. DEUTERONOMY 25:13-16.

13. Thou shalt not
have in thy bag divers weights,
a great and a small.
14. Thou shalt not have
in thine house divers measures,
a great and a small.
15. But thou shalt have
a perfect and just weight,
a perfect and just measure
shalt thou have:
that thy days may be
lengthened in the land
which the LORD thy God
giveth thee.
16. For all that do such things,
and all that do unrighteously,
are an Abomination
unto The LORD thy God.


MOSES HATED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, therefore he WAITED FORTY YEARS to tell them, that all the Capital Punishment Judgments HE TRICKED THEM into carrying out on one another, KILLED THEIR PARENTS- then he FLED, before they could realize exactly what he had just told them.

SHALOM!

ShobayoEmma:
but the bible says thou shall not kill without stipulating exceptional circumstances.

There are no "exceptional circumstances."

Taking for example when one is been faced with bokoharam and one has the d opportunity of saving oneself, should one not?

Who gave you PERMISSION to be vulnerable to Terrorists and Assassins?

The Sin starts from there.

. MATTHEW 22:2-14.

2. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain king,
which made a marriage for his son,
3. "And sent forth his servants to call them
that were bidden to the wedding:
and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying,


'TELL THEM WHICH ARE BIDDEN,

"BEHOLD, I HAVE PREPARED MY DINNER:
MY OXEN AND MY FATLINGS ARE KILLED,
AND ALL THINGS ARE READY:
COME UNTO THE MARRIAGE." '


5. "But they made light of it, and went their ways,
one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6. "And the remnant took his servants,
and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7. "But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth:
and he sent forth his armies,
and destroyed those murderers,
and burned up their city.
8. "Then saith he to his servants,


'THE WEDDING IS READY,
BUT THEY WHICH WERE BIDDEN
WERE NOT WORTHY.
9. 'GO YE THEREFORE
INTO THE HIGHWAYS,
AND AS MANY AS YE SHALL FIND,
BID TO THE MARRIAGE.'


10. "So those servants went out into the highways,
and gathered together all as many as they found,
both Bad and Good:
and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11. "And when the king came in to see the guests,
he saw there a man
which had not on a wedding garment:
12. "And he saith unto him,
'Friend, how camest thou in hither
not having a wedding garment?'
And he was speechless.
13. "Then said the king to the servants,
'Bind him hand and foot, and take him away,
and cast him into Outer Darkness,
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


14. 'FOR MANY ARE CALLED,
BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN.' "


THE WORD OF GOD IS FOOD.

. DEUTERONOMY 8:1-6.

ALL The Commandments
which I Command thee this Day
shall ye observe to do,
that ye may live,
and multiply,
and go in and possess the Land
which The LORD
sware unto your fathers.
2. And thou shalt remember all the Way
which The LORD thy God led thee
these forty years in the wilderness,
to humble thee,
and to prove thee,
to know what was in thine heart,
whether thou wouldest
keep His Commandments,
or no.
3. And He humbled thee,
and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed thee with manna,
which thou knewest not,
neither did thy fathers know;
that He might make thee know


"THAT MAN DOTH NOT
LIVE BY BREAD ONLY,
BUT BY EVERY WORD
THAT PROCEEDETH
OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE LORD
DOTH MAN LIVE."


4. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee,
neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart,


“THAT, AS A MAN
CHASTENETH HIS SON,
SO THE LORD THY GOD
CHASTENETH THEE.”


6. Therefore thou shalt keep
The Commandments of The LORD thy God,
to walk in His Ways, and to fear Him.


God has invited us all to a BANQUET OF POWER.

He sent Messengers such as myself to deliver the Invitation.

You do not get to IGNORE His Invitation, then plead that you had to BREAK HIS LAW to save your worthless lives.
