    Fred,

    I must say you are wrong to justify these murders because they had God's favor. David was the bigger criminal for premeditating a murder so he could have the dead mans wife for himself. Making excuses for these criminals is a crime in itself; it's is the epitome of Biblical hypocrisy. Whenever I think of Moses and David, I think of two murders that circumvented the law. Their barbaric and shameful actions spoil my perception of them profoundly.

    Hi chip.

    the lord want be singling out just murderers.

    james 2:6-13. but ye have despised the poor. do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

    do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

    if ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

    but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

    for whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

    ( for he that said, do not commit adultery, said also, do not kill. now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. )

    so speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

    for he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

    1 corinthians 6:9-11. know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of god? be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

    nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of god.

    and such were some of you: ( but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the lord jesus, and by the spirit of our god.

    galatians 5:19-21. now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

    idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

    envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, ( and such like: ) of the which i tell you before, as i have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of god.

    im sure we're all guilty of one of these.

    question is

    how are judged? do you feel confident enough to stand alone without the sacrificial lamb?

    im not.

    thank you lord for forgiving and strengthening me.

    god bless

    Brother Chip, MAY CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Have you ever stopped to think that YOU murdered CHRIST; not only you, but everyone born in a body of flesh.

    If God does not save MURDERERS then we are all LOST.

    1 John 3:15 Whosoever hates his brother is a MURDERER: and you know that no murderer has eternal life (Christ) abiding in him.

    Revelation 21:8 But the FEARFUL, and UNBELIEVING,.... MURDERERS...ALL LIARS... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone....

    Amen Brother Earl.

    It was our sins that nailed Christ on the cross.

    God bless.

    Brother Fred, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Not ALL that respond to your comments understand;YET, that ALL is OF GOD.

    GOD always uses man to bring about HIS JUDGEMENTS. History making; of trivial, ALL IS OF GOD.

    Pharoah, The king of Assyria, Hitler and ALL others through history.

    Paul said he KILLED CHRIST CHURCH through ignorance. All of us begin in ignorance not knowing the works of God.

    Praise God for the works of Christ; who knows what's necessary to conform us into him.
