Killing

[Montie_Claunch]

I am talking with a person who says that there is diveres dogmas (there is the real precence and there is no real precence) saying that Jesus says not to kill but in another place to a soldier that it was all right for him to kill making Jesus say that diffrent dogmas where all right. How do I refute this? Thanks and God bless.

…not sure I understand the first example and where either of them come from but as for Jesus contradicting himself about “killing”, my guess is that the questioner is confusing “all killing” (even the State’s Authority to 'bear the sword" - see Romans 13:4 - to punish evil doers) with “murder” (the unjust killing of an innocent human being). Jesus absolutely prohibits “murder” but God upholds the authority of the State to “bear the sword” (ie., to met out ‘capital punishment’ and to wage “a just war”).

Hope this helps
