Deuteronomy 17, Thou shalt not kill.



Do you ever wonder if killing is an option, when is Killing 
OK and when is Killing is not OK.
Does God approve of Killing depending on different circumstances and situations...
Please read with me...

Deuteronomy 17, Thou shalt not kill...
Well then that answers the question about killing, Right?
How about these verses?..Bible Verses about Killing


Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Deuteronomy 5:17 Thou shalt not kill.

Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood

be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
     (I think this says it is OK to Kill a Killer, Right?)
1 Timothy 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous

man,...
     (This is interesting...Right?) Just wondering,)...Read along with me: 
Romans 3:23  
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;


1 Timothy 1:9 but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly
and for sinners,..
     .(that would be everyone, Right?) for unholy and
profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for 
manslayers,
     ( This means Killers, Right?)

Numbers 35:20-21 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by

laying of wait, that he die; Or in enmity smite him with his hand, 
that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he
is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he 
meeteth him.
     ( So it is OK for the REVENGER of blood to Kill the murderer,Right?)
 

Numbers 35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, 
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: 
the murderer shall surely be put to death. 
      ( This OK then? Just wondering...Read this...
1 Samuel 17:49,
 49And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and 
slang it,and smote the Philistine in hisforehead, that the stone sunk
into his foreheadand he fell upon his face to the earth.
     (Interesting,Rigth?Read, 
Acts 13:22
 22And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to
be their king;to whom also he gavetheir testimony, and said, I have
found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which 
shall fulfil all my will.
     (Why do you think God loved King David so much?)

Numbers 35:18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood,
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: 
the murderer shall surely be put to death.  
     (This is OK then, Right? How about a Jawbone...
Read this...Judges 15:15...
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, 
and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.


Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it 
came to pass,when they were in the field, that Cain rose up
against Abel his brother,and slew him.
     (Cain Killed Abel his brother!)
 

Deuteronomy 19:11-12 But if any man hate his neighbour, 
and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him 
mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities: Then the elders
of his city shall send and fetch him thence,  and deliver him into the hand
of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
     (The AVENGER of blood may Kill, Right!)

Genesis 9:5-6 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the

hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand
of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed
for in the image of God made he man. 
     (So it is OK to Kill a Killer, Right?)

1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:

and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
     (So HATE is the same as murdering another?, Interesting...)
 
Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,

and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told
you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the 
kingdom of God. 
     (What do you make of that?)
 
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your 

father ye will do. He was amurderer from the beginning, and abode 
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
    (Are all murderers children of the Devil?, just wondering for now...)

Numbers 35:30 Whoso killeth any person, 

the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of 
witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against 
any person to cause him to die. (For a Killer to be put to death
there has to be more than one witness? 
Then it is OK to put to death the Killer, Right?)

Numbers 35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the 

life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely 
put to death.
      (So if we take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer it is
OK to put the murderer to death, Right?)


In conclusion...Exodus 20 - 
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible...


The sixth commandment requires that we regard the life
and the safety of others as we do our own. Magistrates and
their officers, and witnesses testifying the truth, do not break
this command.Self-defence is lawful; but much which is not
deemed murder by the laws of man,issuch before God. 
Furious passions, stirred up by anger or by drunkenness,
are no excuse: more guilty ismurder in duels, which is a 
horrible effect of a haughty, revengeful spirit. All fighting,
whether forwages, for renown, or out of anger and malice, 
breaks this command, and the bloodshed therein is murder. 
To tempt men to vice andcrimes which shorten life, may
be included. Misconduct, such as maybreak the heart,
or shorten the lives of parents,wives, or other relatives,
is a breach of thiscommand. This command forbids 
all envy, malice, hatred, or anger, all provoking or insulting
language. The destruction of our own livesis here forbidden.
This commandment requires a spiritof kindness,longsuffering,
and forgiveness.


Grace to you all...
