When A Soldier Kills In A Battle, Should It Be Considered As Murder? by Princecalm(m): 10:54am On Jul 19, 2015
Murder as we all know is deliberate killing of another human and with that it becomes a bit confusing. So what do you really think it should be called when a soldier kills in a battle and how do you think God sees this act?

Nah! It can't be considered as murder. If the soldier doesn't kill, he would be killed.

so what will you make of a case where two people threaten to kill themselves and then smarter one eventually eliminates the other, will it still hold that he killed else he will be killed?

he is fighting his enemies ni.. so killing in a battle field is not bad. Even David in the Bible killed his hated enemy Goliath and God was pleased with him

in the original post, you called it aa battle which I interpreted to mean a war fought for the interest of a party. In that case, its not murder.

In this case, if u have proof that the person was trying to kill u and in defence, you killed the person, in law, I think they call it self defence. But if u don't have proof, its MURDER and you should be killed too.

and this just makes it a lot more confusing, what then did God mean in the Ten Commandment when He said "thou shall not Kill"

you shouldn't kill unjustly...David killed his long age troubler. So a soldier that kills in a battle field, does not kill unjustly but for defence / protection

more and more complicated, God is perfect we know, but let us also bring in the commandment "thou shall not lie" into this, will it be also right to lie justly or lie for protection/defence? If no then I don't see what you posted up there holding.

Get a third party to be aware incase anything happens (not necessarily the police)

logically someone who is serious about taking your life won't make open threats...talk is not just cheap but free

Finally watch your back!

And stay out of trouble

But please don't take any life
Re: When A Soldier Kills In A Battle, Should It Be Considered As Murder? by Nobody: 12:05pm On Jul 19, 2015
I don't think so
