Can someone rationally and logically explain why this is...well...ok, and righteous? Especially when it came from a God who issued the commandment "thou shall not kill?"
I mean, fuck, I thought that the worst thing that happened regarding a census involved fava beans and a nice chianti.
It's thou shall not murder. Killing is justified quite often in the Bible, but murder was considered less than acceptable.
By the time Jesus came around, there was much less desire for killing than in previous times.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
