Reply #59: Criminals - not Christian!

[19jet54]

.. I was defining what a criminal is by American law - I guess the issue is "does biblical law or Koran law supersede the law of the land?" Freedom of religion does not condone breaking the law in America. Under the law, it is not justifiable homicide or self defense to kill a person teaching anything - your or someone else must be in physical & mortal danger to pull the trigger. It is also illegal to threaten someone's life.

But I still stand by my comment; Jesus never taught killing anyone; thus "to follow the teachings of Christ" does not include "Christian Killers" as a valid definition; but I do agree history paints a very different picture. Kill or be killed is a survival instinct? With Jesus teachings, there is no such thing as death, only life?
