An atheist can't find God for the same reason a criminal can't find a police officer.
You need to start asking out girls so that you can get used to the rejections.

There is a difference, and what God says not to do is MURDER-killing is condoned in the Bible.newmoon2112 wrote:MURDER,MURDER,MURDER,kill,same word?Same meaning?
The commandment doesn't say any detail,just DO NOT KILL.Kill,murder,take a life,end a life,all the same.

Re: Death Penalty
Funny how after Exodus 20 wherein the commandment is given not to kill, in the very next chapter killing is endorsed as a consequence for someone killing another.newmoon2112 wrote:The Bible also says,Thou Shall Not Kill.Period.It doesn't say,thou shall not kill,unless...

According to the Bible,it says,"Thou shall not KILL,not thou shall not MURDER.My brother once said that maybe "kill" means to "kill someone emotionally",not murder.To my knowledge the word in the 10 commandments is "kill",not "murder".But,if you believe that the two words are different,okay,but to kill is to murder,and thou shall not!

Maybe what God is saying is that killing with envy,greed,lust,and other deadly sins is not good reason.People hitting the switch,or injecting the needle are not doing it because they have envy,greed,hatred,or anything for the murderer,they just feel that it is right to keep this person from continuing their own deadly,sinful emotion that keeps them murdering.

Agreed. Capital punishment (killing) seems like a fair form of justice in many cases. The issue is however whether it be meted out justly, and I'm inclined to think it can't.newmoon2112 wrote:Maybe what God is saying is that killing with envy,greed,lust,and other deadly sins is not good reason.People hitting the switch,or injecting the needle are not doing it because they have envy,greed,hatred,or anything for the murderer,they just feel that it is right to keep this person from continuing their own deadly,sinful emotion that keeps them murdering.
Israel on the other hand were set aside as God's holy people from whom Christ would come through, so despite their flaws, capital punishment would have helped them treat sin with a seriousness other nations around them wouldn't have. Today, I believe a lot more grace and forgiveness can and should be shown, but not at the risk of having more people hurt by the same perpetrator.

The bible also says that if you hate your brother then you are guilty of murder. Our instructions are to love not hate!
Church tradition tells us that when John, son of Zebadee and brother of James was an old man, his disciples would carry him to church in their arms.
He would simply say, “Little children, love one another”
After a time his disciples wearied at always hearing these same words and asked “Master why do you always say this?
He replied, “it is the Lords command, and if done, it is enough”
