If people were walking in the Spirit, they would not be sanctioning murder in the name of religion and posting Scripture to support it.

Indeed, murder is a sin. It seems to me you must be referring elsewhere, since all my points concerned scriptural cases in a point that was blown out of proportion due to some previous posts I had not even read. Killing is not murder when God does it, and it seems to me, unless one cedes the scriptures, one has to concur that Elijah, Elisha, Peter, and Paul did not commit murder when God used their words to kill people. My point, as far as I'm concerned, gives no sanction in the almost two millennia of Gentile wars, with people killing people because of their religious persuasions.

Hi. After his conversion to Christ, who was it that Paul had killed? (Since Paul was not a civil servant in obedience to Roman or other rulers' instructions, that would indeed be murder.)

Elijah, Elisha, Peter and Paul were Prophets and Apostles. They prophesied what God wanted them to prophesies.
