Why is Murder Wrong?

Biblically speaking murder is sneaking up on your fellow human and taking their life. Self defense is legal in God's eyes. Blood guilt...look it up OP.

If it was not For "Killing" every last one of you fools would be slaves

Murder vs Killing

Big difference

Technically the crusades were in defense from being attacked by Muslims. So the Christians have every right to kill Muslims because their cult calls for the death of any non-muslim.

It's wrong to murder animals and plants too.

21 Now when the people saw that they were coming against them they went out to meet them, and prostrated themselves before them to the earth, and began to call on the name of the Lord; and thus they were in this attitude when the Lamanites began to fall upon them, and began to slay them with the sword.

22 And thus without meeting any resistance, they did slay a thousand and five of them; and we know that they are blessed, for they have gone to dwell with their God.

23 Now when the Lamanites saw that their brethren would not flee from the sword, neither would they turn aside to the right hand or to the left, but that they would lie down and perish, and praised God even in the very act of perishing under the sword—

24 Now when the Lamanites saw this they did forbear from slaying them; and there were many whose hearts had swollen in them for those of their brethren who had fallen under the sword, for they repented of the things which they had done.

25 And it came to pass that they threw down their weapons of war, and they would not take them again, for they were stung for the murders which they had committed; and they came down even as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them.

Now on this planet is Humans Can Honor Life and G-d Rules Which The Rule Says Don't Murder ok ? .

But you see Sometimes Humans do Break these laws .. Should the Breaker not be punished ?

Tell me Should we allow a serial killer to murder at his whim or should that serial killer be killed by us as a group to protect from the greater evil ?

Use wise judgement

...who in their right mind doesn't understand self defense?

When does the cycle of murder stop? It takes someone unwilling to compromise their commitment to non-violence.


I grew up Mormon and there is a lesson in the Book of Mormon about a commitment to Non-violence in the book of Alma, chapter 24.

How great is your commitment to God? Are you willing to die for a covenant of non-violence with God?

You did not give that life, you cannot take it.

You did not give that life, you cannot take it.

Because when it's not wrong it isn't called murder, it's called justice.

I understand that we're all going to die someday.

Anyone that murders and cuts another's life short ought to receive the equal and opposite reaction for their decision. If it is proven that they have murdered, shouldn't it be up to those affected by the murder to mete out punishment? Then it would be on the heads of those affected to either propagate murder by taking the life of the assailant or not.

It is still wrong to kill, even in the case of the serial killing murderer. Don't Christians belive that God sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die so that every person will ALWAYS have the opportunity to have a change of heart?

Do those affected by murder and killing have a right to exact revenge or mete out punishment? Would this same logic justify the actions of Muslims in the Middle East?

It doesn't matter what they think. It's what they do that matters, and they follow their book to the letter. Therefore, because they follow their book, and their book says to kill everyone unlike them, they themselves should be eliminated.

Excellent, when can the Purge begin....

The Quran says that infidels shall be killed in Jihad. Look it up for yourself.

Muslims also think any Muslim that leaves Islam should be killed. A survey found that 84 % of Egyptian Muslims held that view, just to make a random example.

Educate yourself.

190. Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.

191. And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there), then slay them. such is the reward for disbelievers.

192. But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

193. And right them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers.
