Are soldiers murderers?

One person's myth is another persons's absolute truth. Christians, I
would argue, would need to treat the ten commandments as God's laws.
Ergo, laws which supercede federal and state laws. God is great, no?

Unless the victim has been murdered, then they might not have been
killed.

[boggle] Is this the same logic that reckoned cruise-controls aren't
cruise-controls?

 

To make this line of logical reasoning even more interesting you need
to look up murder statistics in Oz. When a person is charged with
murder and found guilty then the victim is counted in our statistics
as having been murdered. Despite the minor fact that some of those
murdered people survived and are living amongst us today.

Is that true?!!? Are there actual instances of people being convicted of
murder where the "victim" is known to be still alive?
The only one I can think of is that Rockhampton girl who hid in the wardrobe
but that trial was stopped before a verdict.

 

Yep. That's why the commandment is "thou shalt not kill" instead of
"murder"; they don't want you doing it even IF you can get away with it!!

 

Don't need to wait on Geoff, it does seem like the ten commandments can
be interpreted in various ways at various times. :-|

You can... *after they've been convicted*.

Before that the person is an alleged murderer.

You can say it... but nobody knows if they have or they haven't, so if
you say it then you are guessing (and possibly committing slander),
which is why news organizations are careful to add the word alleged.


G-S

 

You've been killed.

Differnt words, different usage.

Right ;-P

Remains to be seen, they are still trying to agree on the correct
translations.


G-S

 

Yup.

 

Killing isn't always unlawful, it depends upon what it is done for (even
back in ancient times).

Nah, I'm not quite that religious


G-S

 

And the flip side of this I assume is that if they are found innocent
then they are not counted in the murder statistics?

">>> How do you define murder?

I'm still not sure how you define murder but if you define it as unlawful
killing we'll have to wait for a court to determine if it was unlawful or
justifiable
Which is where this all started
In your original response to me pasted below you don't provide any
definition of murder.

"If someone murders another, that person is a murderer. Why would they

For your argument to have any credibility you must provide a rational
definition of murder that does not require a court decision. Murder defined
as unlawful killing requires a court to determine that it was indeed
unlawful.

I don't know. I did some research on the subject about five or more
years ago and was surprised at the number of murders in Oz. digging
down into the stats it turned out that a significant number, I think
some 10%, had never died. Makes it difficult to compare murder stats
in different countries.

As in, you follow these commandments voluntarily or you go to hell?

An interesting nuance of voluntary, if you believe that stuff.

Most things in life are voluntary. The concequences are there to help you

Which of the 10 commandments, if followed would cause a Federal or State law
to be broken?

Didn't Jesus supercede the 10 commandments with just 2?
