Tribute to the armed forces

Romans Chapter 13

1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Those governments which rebel against the Word of God (e.g. North Korea) are perfectly legitimate targets according to the Bible and God. Thank God we have the armed services to go after the likes of Kim Jong-un with the sword to execute the wrath of God.

Kim's days are numbered.

“THOU SHALT NOT KILL!”

Exodus 20, verse 13.

[matte]

Which really means "thy shalt not murder".

Killing and murder are two different things.

The State has the right to enact laws which could result in the killing of a person, which isn't considered murder.

Killing civilians is murder.

I've got an exact facsimile copy of the 1611 King James Bible (the ORIGINAL english translation of the bullshit book), published by Oxford University Press in 2011 to mark the 400th anniversary of the first King James and it says “Thou shalt not KILL” in Exodus 20, verse 13.

In fact, it is even printed in the funny english text they used back then during the early 17th century.

So you if that is what the ORIGINAL english translation of the blah-bull says, then that confirms it as far as I am concerned.

You stupid religious fundies always change the ten commandments to suit your stupid bullshit views. Altair used to do it too!
