Silly human laws I had intended to answer this one, but you've beaten me to the intended meaning. New York state, by my understanding, actually makes a formal distinction between administrative laws (associated with fines) and penal laws (associated with prison) which matches your definitions fairly well. |

If the Ten Commandments say “thou shalt not kill” how can a Christian fight in a war? @GregMcNulty Notice how God commanded war in the OT? But here is a question: if we are to be as surrendering as you say, why can't I simply demand that you send me your computer? What about all of the money you store in your bank account? If not, why not? Do I need to threaten violence? If so, how much violence do I need to threaten with? |

If the Ten Commandments say “thou shalt not kill” how can a Christian fight in a war? @GregMcNulty Anyone who says that killing someone else in self-defense is acceptable (as in Exodus 22) must also say that war is acceptable given the proper circumstances. |

If the Ten Commandments say “thou shalt not kill” how can a Christian fight in a war? @GregMcNulty Either every strike we do against another, even in self-defense, is wrong, or there is some framework which allows some violent acts and excludes others. In the case of Christianity, there is abundant evidence that the framework included the allowance for self-defense. Now, that being said, imagine a scenario where 50 people are defending themselves against another 50. What about 500 against 500? What about 5000 against another 5000? At what point is a line drawn? |

If the Ten Commandments say “thou shalt not kill” how can a Christian fight in a war? If you are allowed to leave the room, then the requirement to "give them your coat" cannot be considered an absolute. The argument then is over whether or not it is OK to push them. If it is OK to push, it is OK to injure. If it is OK to injure, then it is OK to severely injure. If it is OK to severely injure then, given the right circumstances, it is acceptable to end the person's life. Period. |

If the Ten Commandments say “thou shalt not kill” how can a Christian fight in a war? And if someone wants to defile your body? If someone insists on cutting you apart piece-by-piece, are you suggesting that it would be inappropriate to try to leave the room? |

If the Ten Commandments say “thou shalt not kill” how can a Christian fight in a war? @GregMcNulty I think war is exactly the same. |
