I agree, all murder is wrong, but not all killing. God provided commandments and laws that mete this punishment out. Murder, by definition, is wrong. Killing a convicted person is not. Killing in wartime is not murder, as long it conforms to the law, and there are many other instances where killing is permissible.
As a cop, I was shot at several times. Had I had a clear shot back, or had they remained where I could have returned fire without possibly hitting others, I could have killed several people. If I had, it would not have been murder. There is a time for every season.... John <John, to illustrate my point, see this quote from Wikipedia: "Murder <is both a legal and a moral term, that are not always coincident. It <may be legal to kill, but still murder in the moral sense. Opponents <of the death penalty argue that it is simply murder by the state." In <the moral sense, murder is murder to me, and the state shouldn't be <doing it. <I think all murder is wrong, but in this crazy mixed up world, I don't <feel like its my duty to go around enforcing my religious views on <other. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
