So here is my question;

Would it be RIGHT TO KILL innocents in today society, If God of Genesis said "KILLING IS RIGHT"

Answer 1

No. the bible is the worst place for anyone to get morals from.

Answer 2

All right, I'll bite.
In answer to your first question: Children of non-Christian
are not going to Heaven when they die?
Those who do not believe in the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost don't believe in Heaven or Hell, either. (That
doesn't necessarily mean they don't believe in anything
they might read in the Bible, because even atheists are
able to find logic in the Scriptures. And, in point of fact,
"it is written" that Satan, himself knows the Scriptures--
because Satan is, supposedly, the angel who fell from
Heaven, whose name was Lucifer.)
But, those who don't believe in God have no reason to
fear Hell.

Second question: Is God justified in what He does?
Again, you must realize that, because not everyone
believes in God, there will always be the debate of
whether or not God actually exists. (And, of course,
although, hypothetically, you could ask that exact
same question about Satan, atheists don't believe
in that character, either. So, they define "evil" as
being "corruption"--and that is something that is
created by mankind. Not by any sort of deity whose
existence has been challenged since before the
fall of the Roman Empire--which is one of the few
things the Bible makes the slightest reference to,
that can be proven.
If you cannot prove the existence of God or Satan,
then your second question is nothing but a moot
point.

So, regarding your question about whether or not
it would be right to kill innocents in today's society:
the only people who do that are rapists, and/or
street gangs. If an innocent person is killed for a
crime they did not commit, then the person's family
is both legally and morally entitled to a very large
settlement by the government. (They cannot be
brought back to life, of course; and that is very
unfortunate--but as it is written in a prayer: "God,
grant the ability to accept the things I cannot
change, the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.")

No: it would not be right to kill innocent people.
And nowhere in the Bible does God say it would
be right. But, it's because of the other sort -- the
guilty ones, and those who do dare to commit
murder in the first degree -- that we have what's
known as "the death penalty."

Answer 3

God did not kill any innocents in the flood. This an assumption which is not true. So were there innocents living before the flood who were not on the ark. Of course. So what happened to them?

For example, what happened to Noah's innocent and righteous great grandfather, Enoch?
Hebrews 11
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

God is just and would have taken those that followed him before bringing the flood.

Answer 4

That is why there there are two books to the Bible called the Old Testament and the New Testament with the division at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament shows how the chain of events bring us to present day CIVILIZATION. The laws of today are based on many of the laws that Jesus put down for us to follow. The Lord God Almighty gave his only son for us to live through him. My lord said not to commit murder [in so many words] so enough said - it's wrong.

Answer 5

I don't agree with many of the answers you received.

My answer to your question, "right to kill", is no.

We need to remember that the old testament was history and prophecy. The New Testament is the New covenant. We are to live according to Jesus's teachings. He does not teach hate or killing for the sake of killing. We can protect ourselves and others; and if necessary, kill as a last resort and only when it is the only way. Yet we are taught not to hate. Not even those who are a danger to the point of needing to kill them. (Something we cannot do without the help of the Holy Sprit)
Those who tend to point to God as a murderer are referring to such things as the flood. I must believe that the very young who did not have a choice to believe or trust in Him did, indeed, die the flood, but the soul must have been taken into heaven. I believe this because God is love and is just.
We must remember that the people of earth at that time were given a very very long time to accept Him, but chose not to. The only one who did believe was Noah, and he and his family were spared and left to replenish mankind.

Answer 6

This is a matter of "kill" vs. "murder". He asked us not to murder.

Then, you have to identify "innocent". Some peoples who were killed were far from innocent. They were often murderous, violent people who were bent on that life. So, they had to be removed - all of them, in order to not have later vengeance.

It is not right to kill innocent life, nor is it right to kill someone for selfish reasons or for random slaying. These are murder. But, capital punishment is acceptable, self defense is acceptable and taking out someone who will kill you, your comrades, your family, your friends - also acceptable.

When it comes to God killing someone, He knows the heart of a person. He knows their future and if they would change. Thus, He knows if it is necessary to remove them, or not.

Answer 7

Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. God's final call isn't rattling(Condemn: regulation). God did no longer deliver his Son to sentence(regulation) the worldwide, yet that the worldwide by using him (via J-->C) may be stored(graced & truthed): John 3:17. by using J-->C is as by using regulation-->Grace; For Christ is the tip of the regulation, as though the tip of condemnation. there is hence now(of then/now) no condemnation(regulation). The God u . s . a . trusts in is regulation, which flat out states: - i'm going to ignore & forsake you: Jer 23:39; playstation 22:a million; Mt 27:40 six the only actual God, the God of all grace, that God, says: - i'm going to in no way pass away nor forsake: Dt 31:6; Jos a million:5; Heb 13:5. element: merciful God could in no way rattling(condemn) every person. G.W. Bush's 'rule of regulation' will forsake & condemn u . s . a .. So u . s . a . could flush regulation God for "Grace is sufficient". regulation: against us (all) ... God our Destroyer: unfavourable Grace: with you all ... God our Saviour: effective The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 8

When God brought or permitted the killing of people in Genesis and other Hebrew Scripture bible books, it was never unfair. Always those in danger of destruction were warned, and asked to change their ways. They refused. Generally God dealt with them for a great length of time before actually bringing the destruction. 2 Peter 3 shown God never wants to destroy anyone, but to provide for his chosen people, sometimes he had to do that, after many warnings to folks.

Answer 9

I do not question God. He has given me enough to do in my life. My youngest daughter almost died from a "terminal" brain tumor, I do not blame him. I pray and thank Him for sparing her. Many things in the bible are open to interpretation and I do not profess to being a biblical scholar. Let's try not to kill anybody and get through the life that God gave us.

Answer 10

No, because the laws of the early earth were fulfilled at the death of Jesus.

We are bound by the New Testament, today. The Old Testament is there for reference purposes. We can use it to gain perspective on things, but that is all.

Answer 11

No. The government has declared that only it has the right to imprison or kill innocent people with impunity. Killing someone is trespassing on that claim...
