| Lesson 15: The Law Of The Old That Is Covered In the New Testament: Thou Shalt Not Kill 2/6/2014 by turtle Exodus 20:13 KJV (13) Thou shalt not kill. The third sin committed that is mentioned in the Bible is thou shalt not kill. Cain in chapter 4 of Genesis, premeditated about killing his brother and God warned him not to sin. Yet Cain killed Abel anyway out of jealousy. The first sin Cain committed had to do with the wrong type of sacrifice. His jealousy over his brother who pleased God caused his anger to be so great that he desire Abel gone from Him and he killed him. And God curse Cain to a life without God. Yet Moses killed Egyptian and became a leader to the Hebrews after being away from them for some time. Why did God not give Moses the same punishment as He did Cain. I think it has to do with Cain first sin of the wrong type of sacrifice to God and Cain jealousy. Moses killed because the Egyptian was beating a Hebrew slave. Soldiers in battle fighting to protect is different then out right murder for other crimes. Yet government still judges killing as a crime punishable by law no matter the reason. God took two reason has being different and thus point Moses in charge of protecting His sheep. Then God gave the law of thou shalt not kill and then Moses order the killing of those that wanted to continue to worship the golden calf. God allowed the murder of these people, because of the worship of idol. To some it might not seem fair. But God will not play second fiddle to the devil. The reason why because He made the universe, devil did not but like to claim he did. The choice is clear God said not to kill and that what we should not do. There is no reason to murder, yet some crime of murder is allowed in special cases, after all it is God places to decide who lives and who dies. God knows the eternity of every man’s soul. God does understand the desire in our hearts to defend our love ones as well as our people. Yet murder is breaking the law of God. Dear Heavenly Father may you mercy be on our soldiers that defend our country as well as those that desire to protect their families and friends. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
