Is it wrong to kill in self-defence?

Frederick42 @Frederick42 (2024) • Canada 30 Apr 13

The fifth commandment says ‘Thou shall not kill’. So what if someone attacks us? Is the commandment against self-defence? What should a woman do, if she is about to being raped? Does this commandment consider it wrong for a...

What Kind of Thrill Do Christian-Ministers Get from 'the End-Times Are Upon Us'?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 17 Jan 13

TheMetallion The electoral college is a relic of the back-and-forth of the 1700s whose time passed in the 1800s. It's well past time to elect the President by popular vote.
