Why do the 10 commmandments say do not kill but other bible verses encourage and promote killing?

Answer 1

chrisitians will say "it actually says you shall not murder"

*shrug*

killing is ok. as long as its justified.

after all god gave david the strength to kill goliath
god gave sampson the strength to kill the philistines
god gave us rules on how to kill people for their sins/crimes.
god himself killed the world in the flood.
god killed lots wife when she turned back to look at the burning city.

so much killing.

Answer 2

this is somewhat disingenuous. So what if it promotes killing human beings. have you ever never heard of the thought of capital crime? If I rape and homicide the finished relatives after torturing them, i assume you does not want me to get the loss of life penalty. rather, like lots of of the nonsensical liberals obtainable, you will need that I spend my existence in penitentiary with cable t.v., 3 nutrients and a mattress, workout, and video games. What justice. needless to say, we at the instant are not conversing approximately homicide and torture, we are conversing approximately homosexuals being performed. it may be extreme-high quality in case you may save the priority matter clean and to the element rather of smearing the Bible alongside with your "It promotes killing..." rubbish. It does not try this variety of element. You communicate as though it written with the aid of a few thug gangsters. it is an rather complicated e book and the regulations have which ability and objective. do no longer attempt to portray it as though it does not. that could paintings on the ignorant, unintelligent a lot, even though it does not paintings on anybody. i've got been writing on those blogs for particularly some time discussing those very matters, and it is between the few matters that persons do no longer desire to think of heavily on. i will placed it very merely: adult adult males have a penis. women folk have a vagina. The intercourse organs have been for sure designed (or, in case you like, developed) for use for copulation and procreation. there is not any denying it or getting around this actuality. this is obvious. The anus, on the different hand, additionally has an obvious use, and this is no longer copulation or procreation. this is for sure for the removing of waste (feces). in case you won't be able to confess to that, then there is not any reason at the back of extra advantageous communicate (for reason i will bypass away unsaid). The regulations in the previous testomony have their place in coaching purity of existence and righteousness, between different issues. Homosexuality is a degenerative act it is impure and unclean. It has religious, social and well-being implications that are dealt with merely, with the aid of taking away people who carry out the act. The regulation became into enacted to deter human beings from getting in touch in the act. And, definite, i'm one that believes that a harsh regulation will discourage maximum persons from appearing them.

Answer 3

That's easy the accurate translation is "THOU SHALT NOT MURDER" A more important question would be why kill somebody for working on the wrong day of the week?
Exodus 31:12-15
12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

MUHAMMAD, Julia Encarnacion> You have any idea what you're talking about? Did you ever read the bible? The God of the old testament is the biggest mass murderer of all time! Besides Sabbath breakers there's
The Flood (ALL LIFE ON EARTH!)
The first born of Egypt
The children of Israel who worshiped the golden calf
The Canaanites (Men, Women, Children, Livestock and plant life!)
Etc
Etc
Etc

Answer 4

Because true meanings are sometimes lost in translations over the years. When studying the bible in its written form and language you can see that there are many different forms of killing. Some justifiable and some not. The best way I can explain it to you is that the commandment "thou shalt not kill" when read in its original form would really mean "thou shalt not murder" Not all killing is murder.

Answer 5

Translated from the ancient languages, the commandment actually reads, "Thou shall not commit murder."

But there are times when killing does not equate with murder. Some examples would be self-defense and war involving combatants.

The Bible nowhere encourages or promotes murder.

.

Answer 6

I love how so many have said that it is a commandment against murdering innocents.

But of course God himself kills babies in the Bible. Not to mention Moses doing the same.

Answer 7

The 10 commandments say not to murder. Murder is killing the innocent. Killing is justified in many cases, but in all cases of justified killing the killed deserved to die, i.e. judgement was carried out. There are many times in the Bible that God himself killed, and many more times that he told His Israelite leaders to go to war.

Jack: God never judged His creation for doing what He created it to do (why would He destroy something that is bringing Him Glory, which is what obedience to what God has created you to do does, it gives Him glory), everytime something or someone has been judged, it was because they were going against what God created them for.

Answer 8

Correction.
The Ten Commandments say: Do not Murder.
The Ten Commandments does not bar killing.
There is a time to kill. There is a time for peace.

Answer 9

The bible does not promote killing the innocent or unjustly you have to look at the great picture and interpret the meaning correctly

Answer 10

The moral law prohibits MURDER, which is the killing of an innocent person. God never endorses murder, but has directed His people to kill others as judgements against them. There's a difference.

Answer 11

Study the original Hebrew, Chaldean, and Greek languages of the Bible, and the answer will become clear.
