There is always another side. None of is so wise as to be able to insist that our own beliefs are ultimately correct. For that reason we ought to not be too insistent. That was Hamilton's point in the Federalist.

As far as man goes:

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. - Proverbs 14:12

As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one: - Romans 3:10

That is why He gave us His word and a conscience with His law written in it (Romans 2:14-15). As far as God goes:

Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

Exodus 12:13 Thou shalt not kill.

Proverbs 6:16-17 These ... things doth the Lord hate: ...A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood ...

Revelation 21:8 Murderers ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Some OT, some NT. He came to fulfil the Law. Now we have a New Covenant. Whether it supersedes or perfects the old seems to be still under debate, but the fact is we have a lot of trouble knowing what to do in many circumstances. The Hippocratic Oath is ancient, but still a guideline. What is the harm feeding a helpless person?
