God is a Judge. You are not a Judge. Who are you to say what is a sin or not? You, by how you are presenting yourself, are trying to be your own god, standing in judgement, rather than, being meek and humble, seeking understanding.
Thou Shall Not Kill.
Thou Shall Not Kill is interpersonal. The New Testament is very interpersonal, that is, how should men get along in civil society.
King David was a Warrior King. He killed many men. David was blessed by God. God Almighty, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he instructed Israel in war. God did not change.
The Lord is a Man of War. (Exodus 15:3)(Isaiah 42:13)(Matthew 10:34-37)
You are projecting a false perspective, a post Modern kind of Utilitarian Secular Humanism onto God. God didn’t change.
God judges Kings and Presidents and Governments different than he judges individuals in Civil Society. There is a difference between “Foreign Policy” and “Things Interpersonal” within a Civil Society.
God’s Judgement as Interpersonal (Within Civil Society) vs Foreign Policy (Kings and Governments)
Views on Society -
Atomism - Society is made out of atoms working independently.
Organicism - Society is a living organism.
If someone was thinking in Atomism, they may be equal to a King. Men are all equal citizens or human being rights? Also, thinking in Atomism, someone like Puff Daddy or Leonardo DiCaprio can sow of the flesh, and they don’t see that their sins can effect others. They want to be “Self-Centered.”
The Bible views society as Organic. Society is The Body of Christ. It is two very different ways of thinking, and someone cannot understand God and the Bible thinking in Atomism. Organicism happens naturally, and all traditional cultures think more in Organicism. Hunters bring home the meat. The gathers bring home some fruits and vegetables. Everyone has their place in society. Given a Hunter Gather Society thinking in Atomism…the Gathers start complaining that they work more. They are not satisfied with their place. They protest. Society breaks down, and the men end up dead, and the women and children end up slaves of some other society that wasn’t so foolish.
I was not the one who proclaimed killing to be a sin
Thou shall not kill
And i remind you: The commandment is thou shall not kill.
There is no fine print after it saying “lest it suits mine taste and/or is funny”.
And i will humble myself before god himself. Not before his self proclaimed representatives which use god’s law to their own benefit and pleasure, conveniently making it a sin one time and a duty at another.
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them.”
And their fruit is deceit, death, and self enrichment.
If we want to play theism, then there is a special place in hell for those who humble themselves to the words of all kinds of play pretend prophets with their golden thrones and god’s laws twisted around their finger.
Jesus hast preached and taught a law and rule of extreme pacifism.
That if cornered, you should rather die than to lose your chance at your life in the next world, cause unlike this one, that will be permanent.
And you mean to tell me that then God turns around and writes commandments with the greatest of all sins in one’s existence, and its an “well it depends on how i interpret it” playbook where you cant sin unless his so called representatives demand it of you, and then its your duty?
What are the chances that just like with the garden of eden, god was never playing word games with you?
What are the chances that the rules are plain and simple to follow with no buts, ifs or relativism to them?
What are the chances that rather than god playing mind games with you, you are rather being lied to by your rulers, the same way they have always lied?
If god exists, i shall humble myself before him. And i do not insult him with mentally impaired assumptions like how he requires representatives and interpreters in his own kingdom.
If there is an evil and it uses deception, then just about all of modern theism would be it’s work.
IF satan ever decided to corrupt humanity, it would do it exactly the way the world and god’s teachings are right now.
Given someone didn’t like Jesus as a man for some reason…they didn’t like him as a man. Given someone claimed that the miracles Jesus was performing, or works he did, given they claimed it came from the devil, that would be the Unforgivable sin.
Men should have a Fear of God. Not many should be teachers because God judges the teachers more harshly. (James 3:1)
A man’s body is a temple. Jesus dwells in a man through his Holy Spirit. In working to assert authority and be a teacher, you have committed the unforgivable sin. There is nothing to say about it.
Let the filthy be filthy.
Let the righteous be righteous.
Let the holy be holy.
