I am bringing to your notice the wrongful reasoning of biblical Lamech with regards to killing people.

This is essential because some people also practise wrong reasoning due to their religion.

Some religion also encourage killing.

This wrongful reasoning began with Lamech as you will see below.

Now read below,

Gen4:23b-24:
I (Lamech) have slain a man for wounding me AND a young man for hurting me.
If cain shall be avenged sevenfold,truly Lamech seventy sevenfold.

Please note that if i say that God will avenge me,

i mean that God will take vengeance against my enemies/them that do me harm.

Also remember that when cain slew Abel,

God declared that anyone who killed cain would be dealt with 7 times.

After some years,Lamech(who was cain's descendant) killed 2 people namely: a man and a young man, according to the above bible passage.


Lamech then reasoned that:
if cain killed one person and the consequence of trying to kill cain is sevenfold punishment to whoever killed cain.

It means that he(Lamech) that killed 2 people,

the consequence of killing him(Lamech) would be seventy sevenfold punishment against anyone that killed him(Lamech)

That means, according to Lamech,the more people you kill,the more God will protect you.

If you kill one person,God will protect you 7 times as HE protected cain.

If you kill 2 people,you will be protected 77 times.

If you kill 3 people,you will be protected 777 times.

This reasoning worked because no one was willing to kill Lamech,so as not to be punished 77 times.

CONCLUSION:YOU DO NOT NEED TO KILL SOMEBODY TO BE PROTECTED AS LAMECH DID.

SOMEBODY WAS ALREADY KILLED FOR YOUR PROTECTION BOTH IN THIS LIFE AND THE LIFE TO COME.

THE PERSON WHO WAS KILLED WAS JESUS CHRIST.

HE WAS MADE A SACRIFICE TO GOD FOR US.
