Christians, would you kill for God?
#3
RE: Christians, would you kill for God?
Tough question. The quick answer: No.

Christians do believe murder is wrong. Capitol punishment is not.

While Christians do believe that all people (ourselves included) believe that "the wages of sin is death," deserving the wrath of God is different than murdering someone. You are correct, there are times that God sends Isreal into war, even at times to slaughter whole peoples.

Would you be a "hero of faith," like Jephthah who murdered his own daughter out of commitment to the Lord? Or would you, as I have to believe I would, face God's wrath and stand up for the principle that human life is valuable and to be appreciated, and disobey God?

If I "thought" God was instructing me to murder I wouldn't believe it was God's instructions. "In these last days God has spoken to us through His son..." I'm not aware of any scripture in the new testament where Jesus tells his followers to kill in his name.

To be fair God didn't ask Jephthah to murder his daughter. Jephthah made a vow that he would sacrifice the first person he saw when returning from battle.

Think about what it must be like for God having sacrificed His own son on our behalf. A son who went willingly to his death. Who suffered and died for our transgressions.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
