The act of killing is addressed in various contexts throughout Scripture, reflecting the complexity of human nature and divine law.<br><br><b>Divine Judgment and Sovereignty</b><br><br>The Bible frequently depicts God as having the ultimate authority over life and death. In <a href="/deuteronomy/32-39.htm">Deuteronomy 32:39</a>, God declares, "See now that I am He; there is no god besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand." This verse underscores the belief that God alone has the sovereign right to give and take life, emphasizing His control over all creation.<br><br><b>Warfare and National Defense</b><br><br>The Old Testament contains numerous accounts of warfare, where killing is often portrayed as a necessary part of defending the nation of Israel or executing divine judgment against sinful nations. In <a href="/1_samuel/17-50.htm">1 Samuel 17:50</a>, David kills Goliath, a Philistine giant, in a battle that symbolizes God's deliverance of Israel: "Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; he struck the Philistine and killed him, though there was no sword in David’s hand."<br><br><b>Personal Conflict and Murder</b><br><br>The Bible distinguishes between killing in warfare or as part of divine judgment and murder, which is the unlawful taking of life. The sixth commandment, "You shall not murder" (<a href="/exodus/20-13.htm">Exodus 20:13</a>), establishes the sanctity of human life and prohibits murder. The account of Cain and Abel in <a href="/genesis/4-8.htm">Genesis 4:8</a> illustrates the first murder, where Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy, leading to divine punishment and a curse upon Cain.<br><br><b>Legal Justice and Capital Punishment</b><br><br>In the Mosaic Law, certain offenses warranted capital punishment, reflecting the seriousness of sin and the need for justice. For example, in <a href="/exodus/21-12.htm">Exodus 21:12</a>, it is stated, "Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death." This legal framework was intended to maintain order and justice within the community of Israel.<br><br><b>Jesus' Teachings on Killing</b><br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus expands on the commandment against murder, addressing the heart's intentions. In <a href="/matthew/5-21.htm">Matthew 5:21-22</a>, Jesus teaches, "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder,’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment." Here, Jesus emphasizes the importance of inner righteousness and the dangers of harboring anger and hatred.<br><br><b>Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God</b><br><br>While physical killing is addressed in various contexts, the New Testament also speaks of spiritual warfare, where believers are called to stand against spiritual forces of evil. <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12-13</a> states, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground."<br><br>In summary, the Bible addresses the act of killing in diverse contexts, from divine judgment and warfare to personal conflict and legal justice, while also emphasizing the importance of inner righteousness and spiritual vigilance.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3970a.htm"><span class="l">3970a. patroloas -- one who <b>kills</b> one's father</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 3970, 3970a. patroloas. 3970b . one who <b>kills</b> one's father.
