There is a difference between justice and vengeance, wouldn’t you agree? Or do you define EVERY “killing” as “murder?”

I was addressing your assertion that it was particularly heinous for the killer to shoot Tiller in (or near) church. Why is that “worse” than anywhere else?

Do you think mankind has any responsibility to execute capital punishment in accordance with God’s word, taken in its complete context? How do you interpret Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:3-4?

BTW. God was not talking to a specific group of people about a specific instance. He was talking to His people about how to administer justice, and differentiating between an accidentally caused death and a deliberate murder.

As I told another person, it would have been helpful if you read my original post. There is a difference between justice and vengeance, wouldn’t you agree? Yes. Or do you define EVERY “killing” as “murder?” No It is my belief that acts of violence in a church are wrong. Please refer to the earlier post. With regard to capital punishment. I believe in capital punishment. But not vigilantism. What do you think should happen to Tiller's murderer?
