Shawn Fainn:
Anyone have any links to where Ray possibly expounded on the difference between killing and murder? The link below was the only one I could find.

--- Quote ---Dear Ray,
 
Why did God command Israel to murder in the OT despite the commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill"? Didnt Jesus say, "love your enemies"?
 
Thanks for everything, God has truly blessed me through your site. Hope to hear from you soon God bless.

Dear Joed:
You have it completely backwards:  God commanded Israel to "kill" their enemies, however, the seventh commandment is "thou shalt not MURDER." The same holds for the New Tesament commandment (Matt. 5:21). The translators didn't quite get that one right.  God used his physical nation of Israel to Judge the heathens in the land of Canaan, where as in the future God will use his Spiritual Nation of Israel to Judge the whole world system of Babylon the Great.
God be with you,
Ray

Thanks!

That's clear enough for me.  I love it.

Hi,

I'm not sure if I "love this". I just can't see why I would have any reason to KILL (not murder) people. I don't feel the urge to fight in a war for example. I don't think we should do that.

God bless you,
Eirik

Dave in Tenn:
Eggi, the New Covenant is not in accord with the Old.

Still, everyone does what is right in their own eyes and the Lord judges the heart.

Give it time. :)  We're talking about it in the spiritual sense, not the literal sense.
