Guest Reltih Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Is it wrong to kill if you are in a war? Is it wrong to kill if your life is in danger? -BnG- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word in the Hebrew original favors a translation of "murder." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But killing with no remorse or for pleasure, then that to me is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To "kill" someone in self-defense is not the same as murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fluffy the Cactus Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I think that God is very practical, and I think that He doesn't judge things in a cookie-cutter manner. I truly believe that God does not hold someone accountable if they kill while protecting themselves, and as far as war goes, a soldier just does his/her job. He/She isn't responsible for the war or the killings. Whoever initiated the war, I believe, the Lord holds responsible for that. (Wow, my first serious post in a LONG time) ???

In fact I asked about it here last quite some time ago. I was in the Marines and fought in Desert Storm. I was a machine-gunner, so you can figure out what I did. It is something that is hard to deal with, and you never quit thinking about it. But I do believe that fighting in a war, or self-defense, is quite different in God's eyes than simply murdering someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
