- Does God tell us not to kill? No. He tells us not to murder. Kill : lawful taking of life. Murder : unlawful taking of life
- Does God kill? Yes
- Why doesn't he have to follow the no-killing rule? Because there isn't one
What makes the killing lawful or unlawful? Who decides that?
If God is the sole deciding factor of when one can or cannot kill, then how do we know he can't decide when it's appropriate to lie or not lie?
