The Book of Matthew 5:1-48

[Enlightenedtruth]

Our Lord affirmed law enforcement officials to protect innocent life including deadly physical force.

I am again curious as to where Christ gave anyone the authority to kill in the Scriptures? Did God make a mistake when He gave the 10 Commandments to Moses? Because what I recall is thou shalt not kill; I don't recall any foot notes from God saying "with these exceptions" when the "Law was given".

I have been. I'm thankful it turned out well for the criminal. I had mercy on criminals because I was one

I'm glad that instance worked out for the best for you and your family. But what's come is very different; when the "law and order" of these various earthly governments break down, chaos will be extreme. A lot of people will believe they have nothing left to loose; and they will covet any supplies, as well as any women or children they might catch out in the open.

I already did that and showed the difference between murder and death by law.

Thankfully my family was never involved in a situation like that but I have been.
You're right about governments breaking down. The real gospel is being distorted by mankind. Has been for a long time now.
