LifeHiscost Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 The person largely responsible for the stay of even further carnage near Killeen, TX. The full story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/08599193644400 This is an event that can cause very divided opinions among the children of God. Was she sent by God to protect the innocent, or if the bullet that brought the instigator of the incident down had killed him, would she be considered in concert with the netherworld? "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil." Romans 13:1-4 NKJV Blessings! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Moderators Gerr Posted November 9, 2009 Moderators Posted November 9, 2009 So there IS a time to kill, even for an SDA Christian? Quote
SivartM Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Somehow it seems that NOT shooting him would have been a far greater sin than killing him. Unless you somehow want to argue that all the people he shot didn't deserve to live anyway. Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." - Jesus

In spite of the wise man's words (For everything there is a season.....a time to kill and a time to heal), our church has taken a non-combatant stand, or some take the stand that it is wrong to kill under any circumstance.

GreatLakesGramma Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 ...some take the stand that it is wrong to kill under any circumstance. That is not a Biblical position. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S. Lewis
