#514 | Nazi-style gas chambers would have clearly been appropriate in the killing of the Amalekite infants based on the divine command in the Old Testament. Are there any Nazi measures/methods that would have been wrong for the Israelites to have used in this case? Under what criteria?
#482 | What can “Thou shalt not kill” mean if killing actually means murder, murder means inappropriate killing, and inappropriate killing simply means killing without God’s approval? Is this not simply God oddly saying “Do only what I say”? Why then not just this one commandment since we cannot judge whether a killing is just as seen in the killing of the Amalekite infants?
#481 | Greg calls preemptive killing common sense. Was this the common sense in the minds of Israelite soldiers as they hacked Amalekite infants into pieces, suspecting that those crying, innocent-looking infants would someday grow up to kill them? Which infants today would likewise qualify for this self-defense killing?
