El Guapo: Good point. Who is or isn’t a murderer depends on whom we want murdered at any given time. I suspect George W. Bush is a murderer in the eyes of many as was Sadam H. Think of Stalan and Moa.

Glen (I just discovered the blog and know this is a late response),

Under Biblical law, Moses was a murderer. David was a murderer. He had a man killed to take his wife. The Apostle Paul was a religious terrorist and murderer. Yet these men wrote the most influential books in the Bible. The message here for modern times is that God chose to redeem and send his message through very human agents. The message is that even “men after God’s own heart” as David was are capable of murder are also capable of redemption.

A long time ago, I read one of your books that talked about being religiously irreligious. The idea wasn’t anything new for me, but putting a phrase to it showed me a way to grasp my own thinking.

Great post, I have always appreciated your writing.

Glen R. Graham:

Glen, your question has to be answered under Biblical law. In that I am gratefully not an expert.

When Moses in the Bible killed the slave-master who was beating the slave and then fled the country did he commit premeditated “murder” or was it a justifiable killing in defense of another?
