I take it then you don't propose the theory of abiogenesis to explain the origin of life?
I have made no claim to know how life itself began. In short 'I don't know, but don't like your explanation either.' (I don't know how the tv works, but that doesn't mean i would accept your explanation that it works on fairy dust).
Originally posted by avalanchethecatYour understanding is incorrect. Just goes to show what you understand.
I fail to see the relevance of this line of enquiry. What has that to do with the death penalty? Or using a nuclear weapon on a city?
But since you ask... in my understanding, it would be acceptable for a christian to take the lives of enemy combatants during the prosecution of a just war. I do not think it would be acceptable for a christian to, ...[text shortened]... a city. You're talking about killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of innocent people.
Originally posted by EladarWell in fact we weren't talking about war, we were talking about the death penalty and using a nuclear weapon on a civilian centre. Don't feel bad for losing the thread though, it's always interesting to see people revealing their inner crazy.
When dealing with people individually, be loving and forgiving.
What I am describing is war, which does not fall under how we deal with people within our society.

Deuteronomy 20:16-18
However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.

Just goes to show once again the limited knowledge you have when it comes to the Bible.
