Do not kill, says the bible. But, then, Moses killed an Egyptian and buried him in sand. And Moses was God's man. Will the guy get justice in heaven? David, Saul and Samson killed. They are war heroes. They did it in honor of their people. Will those killed get justice in heaven? Killing, it seems, is a good thing as long it's killing the bad guys. Anyone to break it down for me? Live Full Die Empty - Les Brown.

While on one hand, God abhors sin, we also see some elements that go unpunished. Instead, they receive praises. These issues confuse my mind. Live Full Die Empty - Les Brown.

It depends. If the victim of murder acted without decorum, it's ok to kill them.-wazua consensus

Anyone to break it down for me? #stolen form a biblical scholar "Just because something is reported in the Bible doesn't mean it OK, you need to consider the context of the story. Great men in the Bible may have sinned at one time or the other in their lives, but they mended their relationship with God. Hence does not justify that the sin they may have commited is OK"

Deut 13If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own life entices you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods—gods you have not known, you nor your fathers,
7 Of the gods of the peoples who are round about you, near you or far away from you, from one end of the earth to the other—
8 You shall not give consent to him or listen to him; nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him.
9 But you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.
10 And you shall stone him to death with stones, because he has tried to draw you away from the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
11 And all Israel shall hear and [reverently] fear, and shall never again do any such wickedness as this among you.
12 If you hear it said in one of your cities which the Lord your God has given you in which to dwell
13 That certain base fellows have gone out from your midst and have enticed away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods—gods you have not known—
14 Then you shall inquire and make search and ask diligently. And behold, if it is true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done among you,
15 You shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly and all who are in it and its beasts with the edge of the sword.
16 And you shall collect all its spoil into the midst of its open square and shall burn the city with fire with every bit of its spoil [as a whole burnt offering] to the Lord your God. It shall be a heap [of ruins] forever; it shall not be built again.

The 'God' in the OT was a vengeful, racist, tribalist,xenophobic,jealous and many other vile words you can think of. However, he turned out all right in the New Testament It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...
