>>Matthew Bell
>>According to my dictionary, murder is, 'the UNLAWFUL
>>premeditated killing of one human being by another'?
>>For the sake of showing the falsity of your position then
>>let's hypothesis that your statement is correct about God.
>>Now how about showing that God's killing of his son was
>>unlawful (I won't bother too much about the 'one HUMAN
>>BEING by ANOTHER).

>Dave G.
>Genesis 7 sounds like premeditated "killing" to me. Does
>that qualify as murder to you Matt?
Matthew Bell According to the dictionary definition I cited there are three aspects which comprise murder: 1. Unlawful. 2. Premeditated. 3. Done by one human being by another. I already stated I am not too concerned about 3, so that leaves 1 and 2. You have established 2 in Genesis 7, not how about establishing 1 with the same passage or any other passage you care to use? =======
>>Matthew Bell
>>Further, how many victims of murder embrace their
>>death and go determinedly to that death as it is
>>alleged in the Bible Jesus did? (waits on the old
>>garden of Gethsamane scenario!).

>I believe Dr. Kevorkian (sp?) was convicted of "murder"
>and all of his "victims" went very willingly.
Matthew Bell I haven't the slightest clue what the above refers to, please elaborate. Thanks M.Bell
