Under what circumstances does the bible or Jesus condon killing another person?

Not killing but justice. (punishment) Not just for any one but the lawful government can put someone to death who deserves it for crimes committed like murder.

It's right, I'm a christian and I know Allah (Islam God) says kill non-follower of islam and not to befriend people of other religion. That's a bad thing.

Murder.  The crusades, the inquisitions, the witch burnings, the holocaust, all in the name of Jesus.  Jesus was supposed to be peaceful, so murder in his name (or anyone else's) is not only wrong, it makes no sense.

Murder-you have no right to inflict harm unto another living soul. But sin and suicide are almost equally as bad. There is always an alternative.

It's interesting that you bring that up at a time Islam is attacked by Christians to be a violent religion, where as the verses they cite were revealed at a time of war. Unlike Christianity though the Quran NEVER condones the killing of women and children in any time or circumstance. As a Muslim and a believer of the gospel I don't believe that part was by God and was possibly put forth by the scribes.

If someone kills in the name of God, they have been duped.  They fell victim to irrational thinking.  The god they serve is not God the creator (the giver of LIFE), but rather the god of death (Satin).  God promotes life. "Be fruitful and multiply."  God promises everlasting life, sent Jesus to overcome death.  Why would God go through all the trouble of creating life only to have others destroy it?  Makes no sense.

The bible states that he uses others in his work so maybe the way it should be read is that he is using one to punish the other.

Idolatry in Bible times usually meant Human Sacrifice. Often they worshipped Gods such as Moloch by roasting a human baby to death. Believe me, it's in the Bible.\n\nIdolatry in Bible times also tended to mean HUGE amounts of sexual promiscuity in the worship of the gods, which spread terrible diseases.\n\nIf a persons worships a different God where human sacrifices or sex orgies are not involved, then murder is definitely the worse sin.

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 Bible does NOT tell us, in the Ten Commandments, "Thou Shalt Not Kill." What it actually says is, "Lo Teer-Tzach," which means, "Thou Shalt Not Murder." There is a difference between Murder (RaTZaCH) and Kill (HaRaG). \n\nIf the Ten Commandments read Thou Shalt Not Kill, then you could not defend yourself in war, or, for that matter, against someone who was trying to murder you. You could not eat meat of any kind, or anything for which an animal had to die to obtain it. But, since it says Thou Shalt Not Murder, meaning to take another's life when it is immoral to do so, then we can claim our dominion over the earth and over all the animals, as we are given in the Biblical Book of Genesis, and take the life of a fly, cockroach, or mosquito. Sometimes we do indeed have to kill an animal, even a mosquito, cockroach, or even a fly. They all spread deadly  diseases and can cause severe allergic reactions, and must be eliminated from our home and other environments in which we live. The problem is knowing when it is right, and moral, to do so, (killing) and when it is wrong, and immoral, to do so (Murdering). Outside the house i do not kill cockroaches, but in my own house, i certainly do. Outside my house, and off of my own property, i do not kill ant-hills, but in my house or on my property, i certainly do.

You've got it mixed up. This is the actual scripture:\n\nFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\n\nNowhere does it say God killed Jesus.\n\nGod gave his Son to the people to show His eternal Love for us. \n\nThe misguided people killed Jesus.

""Does the New Testament condone stoning to death of non-believers? Does it promote violence in any form?""\n\nYes. See the following::\n\n         Matthew 10:34-37 34 Think not that I am come to \n         send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but \n         a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at \n         variance against his father, and the daughter \n         against her mother, and the daughter in law\n         against her mother in law. 36  And a man's foes \n         shall be they of his own household. 37  He that \n         loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy \n         of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more \n         than me is not worthy of me. \n\n         Luke 22:36  Then said he unto them, But now, he \n         that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise \n         his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell \n         his garment, and buy one.\n\n         Luke 19:27  But those mine enemies, which would \n         not that I should reign over them, bring hither, \n         and slay them before me.\n\n         John 2:15  And when he had made a scourge of small \n         cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and \n         the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the \n         changers' money, and overthrew the tables; \n\nJesus, not a man of peace, made whips and whipped people, he said slay those who dont want him to reign over them, he said his purpose in coming was to bring a sword.

No the bible says thou shalt not kill..who cares about the verse that says to stone them to death. Seams to me even God dosnet know what he wants\n\nLeviticus\n20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.\n\nlike i said even he can't make up his mind on what he wants us to do.

3)You wrote, "Our difference is in the interpretation of the data." If the 'data' states specifically, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sin,' how do you interpret that statement to allow for Jesus dying for our sins? It seems to me that your interpretation of Isaiah must be incorrect, or that 'every man shall be put to death for his own sin,' does not mean what it says, or Gd changed His mind somewhere between Deut.24:16 and Isaiah 53.....???\n\n1)You say 'no mortal man can atone,' so who actually did the dying on the cross? Gd cant die, so it was Jesus-the-mortal-man, and so all you have is a human sacrifice, which Gd calls an abomination and something He hates, in Deut 12:30-31!\n\nFOR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT ISAIAH 53, see the BEST ANSWER AT:::\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AqACR_rSjfAqZek.PZv_OM0jzKIX?qid=1005123006794\n\nFOR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT LEV. 17:11, see the web sites i refer you to below.\n\n2)And Jesus being your prophet priest and king, i refer you to what i wrote below, all the theology of Christianity still flies in the face of what Gd already revealed to us through his Bible. Even a Jesus/prophet/priest/king still has not brought about those things the real messiah will do!\n----\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\n             Ezekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \n             souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \n             also the soul of the son is mine: the soul \n             that sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \n             that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \n             bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \n             the father bear the iniquity of the son: the \n             righteousness of the righteous shall be upon \n             him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \n             upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \n             his sins that he hath committed, and keep all \n             my statutes, and do that which is lawful and \n             right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \n             All his transgressions that he hath committed, \n             the

Great question.  We know that the Old Testament preaches "An eye for an eye" but apparantly Jesus made that rule no longer applicable saying to "love thy neighbor as you love yourself" and to "turn the other cheek".  So I find it very contradictory that Christians support the death penalty (among other things but don't get me started).  This is yet another example of Christians who pick and choose which part(s) of the Bible to follow and which part(s) to ignore.  It just depends on what benefits the individual and supports his or her personal opinions.  Not to mention that Christians are supposed to encourage others to get "Saved" before death, so would they not want to reform a person rather than giving them the death penalty?  Would they not want that person to 'let Jesus into their hearts'?  What a tangled web we weave...

I would say no.. and I've heard an argument (zealots don't attack me, I've not looked it up, only heard it) that in the bible a man kills a pregnant woman and his sin is killing the woman.. that is his only sin.. not for the death of the child inside her.. which would suggest that in the eyes of God a pregnant woman is one person.

You are probably basing this question on the notion that Christians should not kill because of the Ten Commandments. This is a leftist notion and interpretation of the Bible and Christianity that supports pacifism, as well as the political systems that support pacifist ideology in society. \n\nThe original Hebrew text for the Ten Commandments states that thou shalt not murder, not thou shalt not kill - BIG difference in both motive and reasoning! \n\nSelf-defense in society, and serving in the military obeying orders, removes one's responsibility from the question you pose. In the military situation, the responsibility falls on those in leadership. Those soldiers in theater are not held responsible for their actions - on either side of the conflict. \n\nMotive matters: regardless of the physical action that is perceived. Most modern Christians would say no to your question, but the book they read (The Bible) says and proves otherwise, so stick with the original text for the obvious answer to this question.
