Under that belief,



Did Jesus give the command to kill in the old Testament or God?



Example:





Kill women ,men and children.



"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all Ãll old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)







This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.' (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB)







Which God is responible for Giving the command for killing, Jesus or God,or both because they are the same?





peace

That is mans doing. Why would God give the command "Thou shalt not kill" and then go back on His word? Seems kinda stupid to make a law and then tell everyone to kill.

God did not once give the command to kill. 08-11-2009, 04:34 AM alanMolstad 3,067 posts, read 3,689,375 times Reputation: 242 Some people cant understand the fact that Jesus is God....

The very same God of the OT is the very same God of the NT



God owns this earth and all the people on it.

As such, God has the right to run this earth any way he wants....human values and human thinking do not apply to God in even the slightest manner. 08-11-2009, 05:49 AM Soljia 148 posts, read 217,302 times Reputation: 20 If people don't believe Jesus is God you are not a Christian. 1 John.

I guess when people say "what would Jesus do?" they are not supposed to think "what would God in Ezekial chapter 9 do?" But since the OT God is supposed to be Jesus as well, how do we pick which one to act like? Well if Jesus is God, and God supports killiing young, old, women, children, and infants when someone ticks him off, and we are supposed to spend our lives trying to become as much like Christ as we can, wouldn't that create a problem?I guess when people say "what would Jesus do?" they are not supposed to think "what would God in Ezekial chapter 9 do?"

Our thoughts and our values mean a lot to God. He gave us the gift of free will. he allowed us to come here to experience life for Him since He cannot leave His place in Heaven. We run the earth, not God. He has laws and when we break them, we certainly reap what we sow but God does not run the world.

God is so holy He gave us the world to enjoy. We aren't puppets on a string and God would never do that to His beloved creatures. I am a christian because I follow the teachings of Jesus. You cannot tell someone that they are or are not christian.God is so holy He gave us the world to enjoy.

I believe both. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh and He is the exact image of God. God bless. 08-11-2009, 09:41 AM Soljia 148 posts, read 217,302 times Reputation: 20 Quote: Reverend1111 Originally Posted by I am a christian because I follow the teachings of Jesus.
