Except the whole Old Testament and many parts of the New Testament is full of stories about everyone killing each other and going to war.

Thou shalt not kill only applies as social constraint to maintain order and keep down the murder rate in a time before actual law enforcement.

It's actually thou shalt not murder, there isn't always that distinction in old languages, their words had broader meanings

f a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him, 3 but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft

Manslayer - Manslaughter
“This is the provision for the manslayer, who by fleeing there may save his life. If anyone kills his neighbor unintentionally without having hated him in the past...he may flee to one of these cities and live, 6 lest the avenger of blood in hot anger pursue the manslayer and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him fatally, though the man did not deserve to die, since he had not hated his neighbor in the past. 7 Therefore I command you, You shall set apart three cities.
But if anyone hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and attacks him and strikes him fatally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities, 12 then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and hand him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die. 13 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that it may be well with you.

Dose that come from them tablets madman Moses brought down from the mountain and then proceeded to to murder 2000 of his own people ? men, women, and children for worshiping a false god ?

because i dont know what book your reading but in the original translation he kills a bunch of people just after being told not to kill . lol

that group of people in case you were wondering where called israelites a semitic middle eastern tribe, allegedly god's chosen people and all that jazz.

Now around that time 10's of thousands of miles away in another part of the world in the ass crack of europe lay a completely separate group too lose to even be call a tribe, a people called Khazars they worshiped snakes and big stone phallic dicks, sacrificed children in pits with dogs while howling at the moon. This tribe of savages would continue to live like this for 100's and 100's of years and wouldn't know what a israelite was let alone the 10 commandments.

This degenerate "True" goyim converted to judaism 1000's of years after the times of the bible for economic reasons with zero semitic middle eastern dna they sometimes like to pretend they are something got to do with the real israelites, sometimes they lie to their children about telling them they had something got to do with the israelites in anyway.

(Revelation 2:9) I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9)


i'm not even that religious, but if a group of usurper scumbags are going around thinking they are israelites only practising babylonian mystery school rites and calling it judaism
maybe i should get religious lol
lucky for me i don't have to rely on blind faith i know more about your religions then you do :)
i'm exempt, on extenuating circumstances.

isnt jesus ment to come back to do a hole bunch of killing ?
>>
>>127214908

You need to read the original interpretation. It should read "Thou shalt not Murder" as it does in old Hebrew. Do not muder the innocent but Jesus in all 4 major books of the original church said that Christiandom should not compromise what it knows to be natural law, fundamental truth or the protection of the needy/oppressed.

So long as the first stone was not cast by a Christian, the Christian is weapons free to defend the meme with extreme prejudice.

It makes me cringe to hear all of these proclaimed Christians calling for the murder and destruction (genocide) of people who have done absolutely nothing to us. Especially on behalf of Israel and the resources these "evil" countries possess (and we/ Israel want).

I'm not a peacenik. If someone attacks you, put them down so that the threat is eliminated FOR GOOD.

Someone is breaking into your house and threatening your family? You're at war against an invading horde hellbent on slaughtering your nation's people?

You do NOT commit murder when you take someones life with justification

In Aramaic (language of Old Testament) there is a distinction between killing and murder,

Killing - To take someones life
Murder - To kill with malice aforethought

Therefore, we see that all murders are killing but not vive-versa

"Thou shalt not kill" was never actually uttered by God, the original scripture mentions "Thou shalt not murder", *murder* is the key word here.

Acts of killing that don't count as murder-
Killing someone accidentally
Killing to prevent your own murder ("murder" is the key word, because if you are being *killed*, it is justified and therefore an act of god)
Killing to prevent an act of violence commited against you
Killing to save the life of an innocent

>Anyone who strikes a man and kills him shall surely be put to death. However, if he does not do it intentionally, but God lets it happen, he is to flee to a place I will designate.
- Exodus 21:12-13

>If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed
- Exodus 22:2

>One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
- Exodus 2:11-12
(God did not judge Moses as a murderer because he was protecting the life of the slave)

Hope this clears everything up.

Jesus will not cast you out. This does not mean that we can't cut ourselves off from the tree of life by our sins. This is cherry-picked, and ignores the overall theme or message of the gospel. We accept Christ as our savior, and must endeavor earnestly to cease sinning. He who commits grave sin, cut's himself off from the Son and the Father, for evil cannot dwell in God.

John 15:2 "He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,"

John 15:4 "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."

Ask yourself: Why command to remain in him, if it is impossible for the believer not to do so. If it is impossible to lose the true faith, why is this commandment necessary?

John 15:6 "If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned."

John 15:10 "If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love."

This is clearly saying that if you do not keep his commandment, then you will not remain in him.

John 15:14 "You are my friends if you do what I command."

An ultimatum. It implies if you do not do as he commands, you are not his friend.

Matthew 24:13 "He who endures to the end will be saved"

Why say this if he who does not endure to the end will also be saved?

Rom. 11:22

"See then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off"

To a Christian it doesn't matter in a Neighbor is an Indian Hindu, Buddhist or whatever.

Romans 12:18-If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

>"I came not to bring peace, but a sword."

post the rest of the verse dude

its not talking about fighting people with a sword

its talking about being at variance with the members of your household because they dont believe in christ

Matthew 10:34-37
34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

I think it's more like, "Don't piss off God or mock his favorite humans"

>Matthew 26:53
"Don't you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly?"

see my post on >>127230678, about when killing is OK, pagans who don't find the path of salvation CAN be killed, but it is not necessary.

So, a mild insult justifies murdering 42 CHILDREN via bears? 10/10, most wise and just god.

>>127235938
That's about as pro-murder as it gets. Thanks for being open about wanting to slaughter everyone who doesn't share your worldview.

God's will overrides yours because He's smarter than you, retard.

Khadaffie was a murderer and a child rapist.

He bombed a civilian plane in Lockerbie, Scotland, and loved fucking prepubescent teenagers.

He earned that ass whooping.

Wrong.
Thou shall not murder.
Huge difference.

i see lots of questions and wishful thinking dont you know the bible is just an amalgamation of books, roman emperor constantine who liked to murdered people in
his dungeons, stuck a bunch of books together taking out what he didnt like and called it the holy bible. Gay king james did the same thing 100's of years later with is 14 scribes of pure cunts. the old testament and torah is practically babylonian and sumerian word for word and the kabbalah is straight up luciferian.

i remember a passage in some old text one of jesus's apostols asked him what happends when you die ? im paraphrasing, and he basically says we all go to hell you run a gauntlet to hell :) you're in the control of who runs the earth (the prince of light of the morning star) he has dominion on earth and hell , also your soul can be captured or destroyed even jesus himself had to spend alittle time in hell after he died on the cross.
the trick is What can (you) do about it ?
probably nothing i'd say .kek
go to hell

sweet dreams

This this this you need to understand this. Another man is just that: a man. Avoid ending another's life at all costs, and only do so when completely necessary. If you want to see pure evil, imagine the human wave charges of last wars; men lining up to get mowed down on Normandy beach, Russian soldiers without rifles who just charged in packs, bonsai and kamikaze bombers, etc. Etc. Etc. People only kill reach other like this when a leader coerces them to do so. Please for the love of everything, swallow the libertarian red pill. Stop dying for idols.

>>127215282
So... how would you stop people who don't agree from killing you if there was no military protecting you? You moralistic cuck, safe in the protection provided to you, you use your safety to condemn the ones providing it.
>>
>>127243684
So when is it completely necessary? Who makes that determination? You? The person in each situation? A judge?
>>
>>127214908
Actually reads Thou shall not murder

>>127244402
It is up to you ultimately, yes. You get the point though, and that's the problem. Not everything can be broken down into exact words and exact laws
>>
exactly angry jesus, but what if in the potential case that enemies are trying to kill you ? One them must be a fighter for Christ
