A Time to Kill

Sermon Notes by Pastor Mark Downey

One of the 10 Commandments is 'thou shalt not kill', and yet Ecclesiastes 3:3 says there is 'a time to kill.' Is the Bible contradicting itself? Well, politically correct left wing liberals like to foam at the mouth about the Christian hypocrisy of our stand on abortion and capital punishment. The real contradiction, however, is with those who don't read, believe and understand the Word of God.

What time is it? I'd like to emphasize the time, or when, to kill is right in the eyes of God. When God told Moses to tell the people 'thou shalt not kill', He meant thou shalt not murder innocent people, because we certainly read about God's ordering the execution of guilty people in His Law. Maybe that's why the judaized churches want to nail all of the Laws of God to the Cross and promote separation of church and state. Just let Christians play church and stay out of politics.

But throughout history, elimination of criminal behavior or sins unto death have been a survival mechanism sanctioned by God for our society to live in peace. The law is written in our hearts. We know what is right or wrong, and it's written in our minds to understand when the law is in effect, or when it's time to execute the law.

The conflict arises between two standards of law: man's and God's. When we don't live under and obey God's law, we are under punishment for not doing so. We pay the price, as a society, being subject to the authority of man playing god.

As Christians, we know that we can only be servants to one form of government; i.e. the Kingdom of Heaven. Thy will be done - thy rule exists. The question I've asked, which few can give a straight answer to, is: can we, or should we, take the law (God's) into our own hands? Can we say that we have jurisdiction to kill, when it's a matter of self-defense? Some idiots actually say no, we don't have that right. That's the corner we're being pushed into today. "When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace" (Luke 11:21). In other words, if you have a weapon, you can use it to protect your home or property against a criminal/sinner. The context here in Luke is interesting because Christ is purging devils and demons and being accused of doing it in the power of the demonic, in the same way we are demonized regarding guns. And if we shoot to kill an evil invader, there's no doubt about our God given right preserving our life.

Behold the Kingdom! The government of God in operation: "He that is not with me is against me" (Luke 11:23). This is a matter of family, national and racial unity, being in one accord, that this blessing of standing together firmly on God's standards, are our security. As we read the context and continuity of Luke 11:14-23, the principle is that Christ and us can and should purge the harm and danger that attempts to destroy our physical and spiritual health.

Every day there are examples of people defending their very lives because of unrighteous actions. One news story related a black teenage boy shooting and killing a White homosexual trying to molest him. Should the black boy be charged when sodomy is against God's law? Then, there's the case of Ellie Nesler, a California mother who shot and killed the pedophile that raped her son. Did Ellie take the law into her own hands, or was she a murderer? Many Californians thought she was a heroine. Can the judeo Christians biblically argue against such actions? Of course, the liberal minded bleeding heart can make all kinds of technical arguments, but the principle of taking righteous action is found in Deut. 19:1-13, especially verse 13 which states, "Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel that it may go well with thee".

Things are not going well with America because the antichrist jews have wormed themselves into our system of justice and reversed our standards, calling good evil and evil good. They take pity upon the thieves, murderers and queers. The putrid pacifist pulpit pimps seem to think that 'vengeance is mine, thus saith the Lord' is the only time when a justified execution is allowed. Just let God do it all and ignore all the scriptures like Numbers 35:19, "the revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him", which supports Deut. 19. Read also Numbers 35:33-34: "So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel".

No wonder the stranger (ethic minorities), with their strange gods see ethnic cleansing as something bad, or what race traitors would call unchristian. When God calls His own people (Israelites, the White race) in Jeremiah 51:20 "my battle ax and weapons of war, for with thee will I break in pieces the nations and with thee will I destroy kingdoms". God executes His word/law through His chosen executioners, whether it's an avenger of blood, a soldier-warrior, a Phinehas priest, a Romans 13 political administrator instituting capital punishment as the law of the land, or a person acting in self-defense.

Yes, the Bible says thou shalt not kill ... meaning murder. But it also says with divine justice and wisdom there is a time to kill ... meaning removal and permanent separation, so that the wickedness which the Lord rejects cannot touch His Kingdom. Because of the fact that we live in a corrupt captivity, jewish-catholic communism, New World Order, Mystery Babylon, or whatever you want to call the present ungodliness, it is because of our disobedience.

Yet, we are given the gift of repentance and grace whereby we once again can be the children of light, instruments of righteousness and vessels of honor, having a perfect and complete understanding of this subject ... to kill or not to kill. Someday our lives may depend on what, when, where and why we must do what God tells us in His Word. Hopefully this message has helped us to get closer to answering that question with the truth.
