by definition, heaven, means eternal life. hell, means eternal death.

You are correct, one can be religious, or one can walk in the spirit.  Religion is carnal indulgence.

I need a hint for: "TgooLJCwya"\n\nLaw is good; it keep order is society. Without law, you'd have anarchy & chaos - those are descriptors of Satan.\n\nThose who don't know the Truth will be condemned by the Law because sin is a transgression of God's Law.\n\nFaithful believers are saved by the Grace of God; the Law may be embraced in order to seek to do God's will - that is the key to Justification B4 the Judgment Throne.\n\nBless you!

there is a passage in the bible of the ten commandments that says that you cannot kill anyone, but there is also something in christianity and other religions that are trying to classify this sorta thing as a "Just War", which means that it's acceptable based upon justifiable cause. it's like in Islam they have what is known as Jihad (which has a few different meanings) but is commonly known as a "holy war" and is allowed because it's a 'just war'. they feel that it is the right thing to do because of the severity.

The difference is summed up in a single word: INTENT... if you intend on causing the death of someone (outside the Laws of Armed Conflict such as in a war) that is murder.  If a hammer slipped out of your hand while working on a roof and hit someone in the head and they died (assuming this was not your intention) that is not murder.

Holy is an adjective meaning sacred or associated with divine power. God is holy.\n\nSaint is a noun meaning one who leads a life in union with God through the grace of Christ and receives the reward of eternal life. Believers are called saints in the New Testament. Saints are holy.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I'd choose communism between the two.  Pure communism is NOT a bad thing.  It's the social system set up by the early Christian church as described in Acts 2.\n\nIt is the ABUSE of communism by the people in power that has given it a bad name.

are you talking about the difference between\n\nmalum in se:  a crime that is inherently immoral (murder, arson, rape)\n\nmalum prohibitum: an act that is a crime merely because it is prohibited by statute, although the act itself is not necessarily immoral (speeding).

doing violence in the name of God  outside the will of God probably qualified as a type of Idoloty... something many need to repent of .. but htis question is not specific enough\n\ndepends...  did they repent... do they have saving faith or a cold religiousity withough love for thier neighbor  Killed is not the same as murder...  self defence would not be.. killing someone just  to make a statement  would be murder\n\nIf I give my body to be burned and have not love it profits me NOTHING 1 Corinthians 13  so I would say if the motive is a bitterness below the surface toward non muslims... definately outside the will of God and probably idoloty\n\n.. on the other hand there can forgivness from even murder through Jesus...."the blood of Jesus (the redeemer from the cross) speaks better than the blood of Abel (a murdered person)  Hebrews\n\nI guess they would have to turn to the Messiah Jesus, glorifying God by leaning on his work on the cross  believing for eternal life

Laws set by government must be followed in order to stay out of jail and so forth.  God's LAWS must be followed in order to stay out of hell.  \nJust because a group of politicians and/or voters decided that something is okay does not mean that God thinks it is okay. As far as abortion goes, the commandment says THOU SHALL NOT KILL. How more specific can that be? The government says- oh it has a heart that is beating, but it is not alive so therefore it is okay to kill it.  \nFunny, how can you kill something that is not alive????\n\n\nRemember, too, that God did not elect the political officials that are deciding that these things are okay. Sinners voted sinners in to make laws.

Yes. Holy means set apart for God's purposes.

Basic Humanist principles, which pre-date religion. Half the Ten Commandments are basic common sense - not killing each other, not stealing - they are the rules that a society will self-determine.\nPersonally I believe that there is just *morality* and that pre-fix is redundant. For the most part, people are moral, with or without God.

The commandment is correctly translated as 'thou shall not murder'.  Killing, in self-defense or in a time of war is permitted, even obligatory.

Legalism loses sight of the main purpose, and gets wrapped up in peripheral or side issues, traditions, and minor points of compliance or (usually) good deeds or other behavior.  In religious legalism, one forgets that God looks on the heart, and begins to concentrate instead on people's exact words and actions.  The usual focus of legalism is on condemnation, rather than on loving and helping other people.
