Zone1 Is There A Difference Between Morally Wrong and Legally Wrong According to The Bible?

[ChristisKing]

Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about. God's law as well as the law of the land says do not murder. However, what is murder? For instance, you see a dog getting beat, would it be considered murder according to God's law if you killed the person who was beating the dog although it's illegal? Or say if your daughter got raped, would it be considered wrong to kill her murder according to God's law although that's illegal as well?

I don't know, but killing someone for beating a dog seems pretty extreme. A better alternative would be to report them to the police. As for a raped daughter, the first instinct would be to kill the sonofabitch who did it. But according to God's law, we're suppose to forgive the rapist.

There's a different and one tough question that has troubled my mind over these past years is the conflict between the moral and legal aspects of our border situation. The one thing I have absolutely no trouble being disgusted about is the hate talk inserted into the situation.

Yeah, but forgiveness doesn't mean that they aren't held accountable for their actions either though.

Also the dog thing really happened to a friend of the family so that's why I used it as an example.

Yes both of your examples would be wrong and against Gods law.

I wasn't aware that the Bible was a legal document. Silly premise.

 

[gold something]

Much of contemporary "law" is not really law at all. Sure, we conveniently use the term "law," but it's actually statutes, ordinances, and other code.

There is no new law. We have known these things for Millenia. Any new statute, ordinance, etc. purporting law is self-righteous. It is actually "order." Law and order are two different things.

For example,

"This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people."
Hebrews 8-10

My understanding of this is its the introduction of a new covenant. This is distinct from the old Mosaic. This is the foundation of the bible. It's a solemn agreement between God and man. It's a shift from the external (or legal) and embracing personal transformation.

I believe this transformation is prophesized in Jeremiah, but I'm rusty and would have to look.

 

[ChristisKing]

Yes both of your examples would be wrong and against Gods law.

How do you know?

 

[Hellokitty]

How do you know?

Neither example is killing someone in self defense.

God's law and man's law are not always the same. When they collide, we should always follow God's law. We see many instances in which the left attempts to force Christians to violate God's law.

No, but it's killing in the defense of others.

God's LAW demands death for capitol crimes -- murder, rape, kidnapping. While you can forgive the offender, society has an obligation to administer justice regardless of "feelings"

Once the government approves, it is no longer a sin.

Then why did God not condemn Cain to death after Cain slew Abel?

Ah, so you don't eat bacon.

Ya know I really hate admitting this, but Moonie has a point. That's rarely been known to happen though.

Not a law
