Re: OT: Shades of gray?

Just FYI - I'm out of this one - not even reading this morning. I simply find this "anything goes" Christianity too troubling to deal with. Seems people want best of both worlds - one foot in the wordly world and all it offers - and one foot on the other side hoping to gain the next world as well.

Guess you're too lazy to look. I don't know if I said that, but as I don't know for sure myself if that is right, I can't imagine I did. I'm sure SOMEONE will be willing to hunt it down if I did. I know there are some here (or who have been here) who would not feel it was right to lift a hand of violence in defense of their own or another's life IN THAT EXACT moment. That I certainly have no problem with. Myself I don't know if I could even shoot a dog if it were not endangering me or another at that given moment.

I hope if you're going to make those remarks you'd have the time to back them up

I may well be wrong, but haven't you said you felt killing another
human would be justified if it was for retribution, like someone
killed or raped your daughter? I think I remember reading you say
something along those lines over the years but I'm too lazy to look.

If you do feel that it is justified, then do you consider that as part
of self defense? If not, how would you categorize it?

If I'm wrong, please accept my apologies for being too lazy to check.
(It's the weekend, I'm not working, and therefore, not doing ANY
research, lol.)

Well, some things I think are always black and white. Murder, for example. Not killing in self defense, but cold-blooded, premeditated murder. In fact, far as I can see I don't see how anyone who claim to believe the Bible can say that breaking any commandment is a shade of gray - they were written in stone. Perhaps with only caveat being that breaking one, like lying, to save a life would be different for me - for some maybe not. However, to break them simply because it's convenient, you don't like that one, or, maybe worst of all, for financial gain can never be right. How can it?
