Are Christians Prepared To Kill Someone If God Commanded It. by Swissh: 10:10am On Aug 12, 2019 |
God instructed and condoned murder in the Old Testament via prophets such as Moses. This we know and can easily support with scripture, unless you concede that Moses was a conman, did not speak on behalf of God and that any instructions given by Moses should therefore be disregarded. However, if Moses did in fact convey God's wishes and instructions, it follows logically that God did command murder in the past, and that (according to precedent) he could potentially give similar instructions in the future. There is nothing prohibiting him from doing so. Therefore, my question to Christians: If God instructed you personally to murder the child or wife of an enemy, would you do it? If your answer is "no", do you concede that you are prepared to disobey God in certain circumstances? If the answer is "yes", do you concede that you are happy to apply the same rationale and justification for your actions than a member of ISIS applies when they murder someone believing God approves? If your answer is "God would never command or condone murder of innocent people", how do you explain scriptures such as Deuronomy 2:34 where Moses and the Israelites, according to God's instructions, murdered innocent babies and wives of their political and military enemies? Looking forward to any responses. 1 Like |

Swissh: How about are Christains prepared to kill someone if the Law commands it? GOD is the ultimate universal Law. HE is righteous, perfect and just 1 Like |

tl Dr. there's a clear difference between killing and murder. aside that, whatever God instructs should not be critiqued by logic. Go find something else to do. Your human mind and so called sixth sense will fail you woefully |

OpenYourEyes1:You have not said anything meaningful. If God instructed you to kill babies and wife's of your enemies like he did in the Bible would you obey? |

Swissh: If GOD or the law orders me to destroy a community of real murderous zombies ofcourse I will |
Re: Are Christians Prepared To Kill Someone If God Commanded It. by Swissh: 10:37am On Aug 12, 2019 |
As a Christian, why would you question the will of your God? Even if he was asking you to kill just because he felt like it, would you not be obligated to do it anyway? |

Swissh:Have you read the story of soddom and Gomorrah? If Lot had not begged GOD to spare a city he fled to before the destruction of soddom and gomorrah the city would have been destroyed too because it appears that GOD had made up his mind to destroy everything in that area. Lot had to flee the city later as it was as violent and evil as soddom and gomorrah. It's either the city ended up growing and spreading evil around the world or it was eventually destroyed by GOD. |

OpenYourEyes1:Was God Asking lot to kill someone like Abraham? the answer is no so it's not the related. Why will you question your God when he gives you a direct order to kill someone? |
Re: Are Christians Prepared To Kill Someone If God Commanded It. by OpenYourEyes1: 11:10am On Aug 12, 2019 |
Swissh: GOD is our GOD not just my GOD. I will not question him at all because HE is our CREATOR and knows everything about us. Remember that when HE destroys humans HE is revoking our right to exist on earth. We are not really dead. We continue to exist but not here on earth. HE alone can stop us from existing on earth. And he alone knows everything about us |

OpenYourEyes1:So you basically saying you will kill a baby and not question God if he commands you to then why are christians complaining about Muslims doing exactly the same thing? |

OpenYourEyes1:In other words you will breaking God's commandments that though shall not kill.. God commands that you not kill. God commands you to kill. Which command do you follow? You either follow his command to kill, or assume that you know better than God. What is the difference between you following God's command to kill and an ISIS member following God's command to kill? |
Re: Are Christians Prepared To Kill Someone If God Commanded It. by OpenYourEyes1: 11:37am On Aug 12, 2019 |
Swissh: That commandment is beautiful and simple: Do Not Kill. What is the penalty for Murder? Death! You will be destroyed for breaking the law |

OpenYourEyes1:Who where you referring to as destructive community of vampires? And if your God commands you to kill them why can't their own God command them to kill you? |
Re: Are Christians Prepared To Kill Someone If God Commanded It. by OpenYourEyes1: 12:15pm On Aug 12, 2019 |
Swissh: Read why GOD destroyed earth and soddom and Gomorrah with flood and sulphur respectively. Did they deserve destruction? Ofcourse they did. Any society that worships satan and perform child sacrifice deserves GOD's destruction. If you live in such society and you are comfortable with its evil, then you too deserve death. |
Re: Are Christians Prepared To Kill Someone If God Commanded It. by Swissh: 12:31pm On Aug 12, 2019 |
OpenYourEyes1:You are deviating from the initial post. You are comfortable killing people at the behest of your God but when other religion kill you at the behest their God you have a problem with it and call them Satan's . If Muslims decides that those who eat pigs are evil and decides to kill all of them because their God commanded them to do it will you have a problem with that? |
