>Killing others is also a sin,

I missed that. Not if they were trying to kill you first. No foul, no sin...just common sense.

This is a common belief in modern Christendom. When asked for a biblical basis most point to where Jesus said take a sword. However many miss what happened when Peter, Mr. Macho, went to use it — object lesson.

Actually, you are correct.

It's MURDER that is the sin. There are situations, as in war or capital punishment, or self-defense when a life is taken but it is not classified as murder and hence not a sin.

Yup. The Commandment is against MURDER.
