To The Christians, Muslims and all Religion Believers, this Question is for all of You!!

According to a Christian Brother I ask this same question, this was is Reply;

He said and I quote; Yes I would do it because if the creator tells me to do something no matter how bad it sounds, it must be right. Because the person who made all laws can choose who and what law to break. Plus I would feel better knowing that a God does exist and I could devote my life to him!!

That was a Christian to the Core Reply to my Question!!

But this same God tempted Abraham and hardened the Pharaoh's mind. He committed both of them to the path of murder. Why are some Christians selectively blind?!

I will wake up from that dream knowing there is no God.

Besides killing someone is never an act of love. No matter the circumstance,killing someone shouldn't be an option. A good God should know better than that,even if some humans are gullible

You asked an hypothetical question, unfortunately an "IF" that will never happen. One major thing about the Christian walk/life/pilgrimage is the knowledge of God. Not everybody dies immediately like the thief on the cross, after becoming a believer. You are to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God. Anyone that knows God knows Him as a God of covenant. We're in the new covenant and we can conveniently say that would not tell any Christian to kill anybody. Not in a dream, vision, through angels or any means.

kill in the bible is often misconstrued as KILL. to kill someone as used in the bible is a spiritual kill. in biblical days, if the disciples went into a town and every member of the town were heathens, then i might say I WANT YOU TO KILL EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN. what that means is to kill them spiritually. killing you spiritually is killing you to what you are. if you are a heathen then i will intend to kill your pagan ways and convert you over to the LORDS ways. the bible is a book that uses old english and old ways of speaking.

having said all that, the LORD does use people to murder people physically, however for you to be used in that respect means that was what you were created for. you are an evil angel. there are many evil angels walking around us who work for the LORD. the LORD will not ask just anybody to go and kill. there are evil angels who do that task


psalms 78 vs 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. <<< KEEP IN MIND AN ANGEL IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS LIKE SOME INVISIBLE PERSON YOU CANT SEE. ANGEL IS A WORD THAT MEANS MESSENGER OF GOD. SO THERE ARE MANY HUMAN ANGELS.

PROVERBS 16 VS 4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Do you remember when Yahweh commanded his followers to massacre those heathens spiritually?
Zoharariel:

1 Samuel 15:2-3; Your god commanded Saul to kill the Amalekites: Men, Women, Infant, Sucklings, Ox, Sheep, Camels & Asses.

That is just 1 of many Genocides ordered by Yahweh.

The Jericho Massacre - Joshua 6:21

The Massacre of the Aradies - Numbers 21:1-2

The Midianite Massacre - Numbers 31:1-35

The Ai Massacre - Joshua 8:1-25

The Ammonite Massacre - Judges 11:32-33

The end of judges: 2 Genocides & 200 stolen virgins - Judges 21:10-14.

The Lord said to David; go and smite the Philistines - 1 Samuel 23:2-5

I could go on & on.

Its a spiritual book not a physical book. The lord does not deal with your flesh. he deals with the spirit. now let me give you an obvious example of what kill means


revelation 6 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

NOW FROM THE ABOVE 3 VERSES YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE WORD KILL AND SLAIN ENTAILS IN SCRIPTURES. STUDY VERSE 11 ABOVE, IS THE LORD HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED PHYSICALLY AND ARE DEAD ? IS HE GIVING WHITE ROBES TO DEAD PEOPLE ? ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED PHYSICALLY CRYING UNTO GOD ? ARE DEAD PEOPLE CRYING UNTO GOD ? NOTICE IT ALSO SAYS THE SOULS OF THOSE SLAIN FOR THE WORD OF GOD. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO KILL A SOUL IF IT IS NOT PHYSICAL ? IS IT ONLY PHYSICAL THINGS THAT CAN BE KILLED ? YOU EVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION AMONGST DOG TRAINERS ' HOW TO BREAK THE SPIRIT OF A DOG ' OR EVEN HOW TO BREAK THE SPIRIT OF A MAN. IS THE SPIRIT OR SOUL PHYSICAL THAT IT CAN BE BROKEN ? YOU STARTING TO SEE HOW WORDS ARE USED WITH REGARDS TO ENTITIES THAT ARE NOT PHYSICAL ? YES YOU CAN KILL A MANS SPIRIT. IF YOU ARE A HEAVY SINNER AND I CONVERTED YOU TO CHRIST, I KILLED YOUR FORMER SPIRIT AND CREATED A NEW ONE. AND FINALLY NOTICE HOW THE VERSE SAYS ' WAIT UNTIL THE NUMBER OF YOU THAT WILL BE KILLED SHOULD BE ACHIEVED BEFORE I REDEEM YOU ' <<< YOU THINK THE LORD IS TELLING HIS DISCIPLES TO WAIT UNTIL ENOUGH OF THEM ARE MURDERED BEFORE HE REDEEMS THEM ? OR ARE YOU JUST CAUGHT UP WITH THE MODERN WAY THE WORD ' KILL ' IS USED ? SEE, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO JUST READ THESE SCRIPTURES. YOU HAVE TO MEDITATE ON THEM. WITHOUT MEDITATING ON SCRIPTURES YOU ARE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS NOT A LITERAL TEXT. IT IS ALLEGORIES AND PARABLES AND OLD SAYINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO MEDITATE ON TO DECODE

another example. it says ' dead bodies ' but is it talking about a physically dead person or a spiritually dead person ? you decide. so after 3 days or so, the spirit of life came upon all these dead bodies lying on the street and they all stood on their feet. is that what you think they are really talking about ?

revelation 11 verse 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

The bible is not a carnal terrestrial book. it is a celestial book. it does not speak of violence. another example. the bible says you have to stone your child to death if they are stubborn. do you think the bible is advocating literally stoning your child to death ? no. stoning is an old word for scolding and punishing. so you scold and punish your child till he dies to his wickedness. stone him to death. the book was written when people spoke differently.

when bible says ' kill your old self ' . is it telling you to go commit suicide ?

Sir sukkot, your write up has been reviewed and rated A for dishonest and ridiculous. Maybe if you keep reciting "spiritual killing" you might end up believing it yourself.

now let me give you an obvious example of what kill means
Why not use one of the verses I quoted?

revelation 6 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

IS THE LORD HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED PHYSICALLY AND ARE DEAD ?
It appears so.

IS HE GIVING WHITE ROBES TO DEAD PEOPLE ?
Apparently

ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED PHYSICALLY CRYING UNTO GOD ?
Tell me otherwise

ARE DEAD PEOPLE CRYING UNTO GOD ?
No sh#t

NOTICE IT ALSO SAYS THE SOULS OF THOSE SLAIN FOR THE WORD OF GOD. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO KILL A SOUL IF IT IS NOT PHYSICAL ?
Where did it say the 'soul' was killed?

YOU EVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION AMONGST DOG TRAINERS ' HOW TO BREAK THE SPIRIT OF A DOG ' OR EVEN HOW TO BREAK THE SPIRIT OF A MAN. IS THE SPIRIT OR SOUL PHYSICAL THAT IT CAN BE BROKEN ?
You obviously do not know the meaning of the expression.

YOU STARTING TO SEE HOW WORDS ARE USED WITH REGARDS TO ENTITIES THAT ARE NOT PHYSICAL ?
Not in this case, nope.

SEE, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO JUST READ THESE SCRIPTURES. YOU HAVE TO MEDITATE ON THEM. WITHOUT MEDITATING ON SCRIPTURES YOU ARE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS NOT A LITERAL TEXT. IT IS ALLEGORIES AND PARABLES AND OLD SAYINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO MEDITATE ON TO DECODE
If by meditate you mean make up outrageous things to excuse Yahweh's blood-lust in the Old Testament, I feel you bro.

The only reason to misinterpret your own holy book is if you are embarrassed about it.

[size=5pt]The bible is not a carnal terrestrial book. it is a celestial book. it does not speak of violence. another example. the bible says you have to stone your child to death if they are stubborn. do you think the bible is advocating literally stoning your child to death ?[/size] no. stoning is an old word for scolding and punishing. so you scold and punish your child till he dies to his wickedness. stone him to death. [size=5pt]the book was written when people spoke differently. when bible says ' kill your old self ' . is it telling you to go commit suicide ?[/size]
It's good you acknowledge the flaws in you bible, now, I'll like to see the translation for 'stoning' and 'scolding' in Hebrew and compare them to the original text.

Sir sukkot, your write up has been reviewed and rated A for dishonest and ridiculous. Maybe if you keep reciting "spiritual killing" you might end up believing it yourself.


Why not use one of the verses I quoted?


It appears so.


Apparently


Tell me otherwise


No sh#t


Where did it say the 'soul' was killed?


You obviously do not know the meaning of the expression.


Not in this case, nope.

I'm not interested in any specific verse and less interested in your outrageous misinterpretation. However, you're free to pick ANY at random.


1 Samuel 15:2-3; Your god commanded Saul to kill the Amalekites: Men, Women, Infant, Sucklings, Ox, Sheep, Camels & Asses.

That is just 1 of many Genocides ordered by Yahweh.

The Jericho Massacre - Joshua 6:21

The Massacre of the Aradies - Numbers 21:1-2

The Midianite Massacre - Numbers 31:1-35

The Ai Massacre - Joshua 8:1-25

The Ammonite Massacre - Judges 11:32-33

The end of judges: 2 Genocides & 200 stolen virgins - Judges 21:10-14.

The Lord said to David; go and smite the Philistines - 1 Samuel 23:2-5

I could go on & on.

However, what I'll rather see is how stoning in the modern bible translates to scolding in Hebrew. smiley

As I said before, I'm not interested. However you may as well knock yourself out with 2 Samuel 8.

[size=14pt]What I want to know is how you figured out stoning translates to scolding.[/size]

2 samuel 8 2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. <<< AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS VERSE, HE SMOTE THEM. MEANING HE KILLED THEM ALL. YET IT GOES ON TO SAY THEY BROUGHT HIM GIFTS. LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HERE. ISRAEL WENT IN AND USURPED THEIR WAY OF LIVING AND IMPOSED THEIR OWN WAY WHICH IS THE WAYS OF GOD AND HENCE THEY BECAME SUBJECT TO ISRAEL AND BROUGHT TRIBUTARIES AND GIFTS AS IS COMMON TRADITION TO PAY TRIBUTARIES TO THOSE RULING YOU.
