If you happened upon the rape/murder of a child in progress and your only means of stopping it were through violent action, what would you do?
Thank you.. :e4e:

Shift the goal posts much?
According to the Law Jesus couldn't condemn her.
Also, I see no indication she was forgiven. All I see is no condemnation, because the law would not allow it, and a rebuke to go and sin no more.

Do you ever answer a simple question? Since you are too big a coward to answer, I will. Yes, I would certainly use lethal force to prevent a crime from happening or continuing.
Here in Missouri the law allows a person to use lethal force to prevent a car jacking, a sexual assault, an arson, a home invasion, and an attack by multiple assailants.

I would do whatever I could to prevent said event from continuing short of deadly force. Simply by intervening I'm quite sure the assault would not continue . . . don't you?
No, I don't think so.
How about you?
If you happened upon the rape/murder of a child in progress and your only means of stopping it were through violent action, what would you do?
So if your only way of stopping the rape/murder of a child was by the use of deadly force, you would allow the child to be raped/murdered?

I'm all set thanks.
Well...Yeah, the guy might have to stop to stick a knife in your liver or something. :think:
How rude.
lain:Let's see - a 250 pound attacker on crack determined to assault an innocent vs some gadfly crying out "stop that this instant" and stamping her foot at him. :think:
No, probably not.
You'd just get yourself killed along with the child.
But you would have shown mercy to the rapist/murderer so it's all good, right?

I'm waiting for PureX to answer this as well. But he won't. He'll just change the subject...
I ask PureX too many uncomfortable questions, so he's put me on ignore

No. "You shall not murder" which means kill maliciously and unlawfully. God's command does not encompass accidental killing, justifiable homicide, capital punishment or war.
Seriously ... after claiming *I* am overly emotional, your response is this?
The only thing that *sucks* about this whole discussion is when individuals care more about protecting violent criminals rather than their victims and making excuses for them.
It's bad enough that THE victim loses their life. What even makes matters worse is that the victim's family (who are secondary victims via the tremendous grief they have to live with) are spit on by a justice system that values the criminals life more than their family member.
A side has to be chosen ... either that of the victim and victim's loved ones OR that of the criminal. I will always be on the side of the victims.

God mentions accidental killing in Deuteronomy 19:4-6, where He says that the person that accidentally killed another is not worthy of death.
