God instructed people to kill,why is that okay especially when he specifically said in the 10-C not to murder?

Answer 1

Thats a question I keep asking - We must be interpreting it wrong - God is love, compassion etc

Answer 2

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

Answer 3

You have to be more specific in who God instructed to kill whom.
I don't know that this is anywhere in the Word. He knows we have enemies in this life and some will die at the hands of others or even their own actions. With an action is a counter reaction to just about anything in life.
God allowed for us to get divorces but this was not His original ordinance or will for man. He allowed it for the hardness of mans heart. He knew man was insistent. God allows for things to occur even though this is not the best plan He have in mind for us. We have free will (but at what cost?)Consequences/repercussions...... benefits/blessings are set in order, just as judgment and redemption has it's place.

Answer 4

A rhema word from God overrides a written law. Eating unclean animals was forbidden but if you were dying of starvation and all you had to eat was a pig you would defile yourself but you would still be alive. Jesus said if you are even angry with someone for no good reason you have committed murder in your spirit. When God ordered people to be killed it was an act of judgement. Our constituition guarantees us freedom but if you commit a crime the law is overridden and you are locked up.

Answer 5

We are forbidden to murder in the 10-c's. Killing is ok if it is in self-defense obviously.
It was a special case for Moses. God directly instructed him to destory the Israelites enemies to make it to the promised land.

Answer 6

You really need to do some history on the people that was surrounding them. They sacrificed their children to this false god. They have temple prostitutes of males and females.
A small indication of how they were was when an angel came into Sodom and Gamorrah and all the men of that city surrounded the house asking for the men to come out so they could have intercourse with them. So all the men in the city were homosexuals. Children were used as temple prostitutes. They played ball with the heads of their captives from their multiple wars. Torture was done to please the rich and powerful as theartre. None of those people deserved to live as was shown when God destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah. Several other cities were spared because Lot and his daughters ran there instead of to the mountains.
Not because they deserved to live.
God does not view monsters and child molesters as deserving of life.

Answer 7

A nations armed forces killing for defense of their country is a lot different then 100's being murdered by gang members everyday!!! GOD BLESS!!

Answer 8

Using common sense, one must remember it was not God that wrote scripture, humans did that, which explains the duplicity rampant in scripture.

Obviously, had God written the scriptures, questions like this would never come up.

Answer 9

Killing does not necessarily mean murder. God instructed the Hebrews to annihilate their neighbors because if they didn't, their neighbors would surely annihilate them. It's for the preservation of their tribe or race.

Answer 10

God wanted to make sure that the other peoples the Jews were INDEED His chosen people. He needed to make an example of those who chose to go against his will.

Answer 11

Because god himself is a murderer. It comes from god being an outright scam artist. he even murdered his own creation with the flood. How can you create something so "perfect" then wipe the planet clean to "start again"? Do I believe in god? Yes. Do I follow god? Hell no!!! Explain if he is such a loving god why did he create the one whom I serve. At least the things the devil says make sense. god's word contradicts itself time and time again. screw god and michael is a b-tch for standing up for him when Lord Satan was thrown into Satan's Lair. I wish I could have taken a pair of hedge trimmers and snip that mother f--ker's wings off and watch him fall to the Earth and die. I don't know if angels can die or not but I wish I could erase them from existance. god even allowed people to murder his own son. If he was that dear to him you'd think he'd protect his son. instead he let him be killed. god might as well of killed his own son with his own hands the filthy lying b--tard. perhaps he's the one that should go to hell.
