Murder can be justified in cases such as the preservation of human life or in the case of self defence. This is very controversial as many people believe that how can some one judge what is justified to what is not.

What biblical references on justified murder override modern law?

There are no bible references that override modern law, just as there are no modern laws that override the bible. While this may sound like double talk, think about it for a moment .... The bible does not provide the laws for a society. While it is true that the laws of many, if not all, societies can be traced back to some religious canon, the development of the legal system of most societies is anchored by the enabeling acts within the government of that society. At the same time, the laws of a society do not provide the spiritual bread necessary to sustain a society that hungers for spirituality. In other words, man does not live on bread alone. Stated differently, most societies have a certain internal duality; most of the time, people go about their regular lives dealing with such necessities such as school or work. However, occasionally, whether it be a holiday (derived from Holy Day) or simply that odds are that the sabbath recognized by your religion falls squarely during the weekend, a time during which most people are not working, provides an opportunity for people to behave less materialistically and more maternally. During this down time, people are free to do whatever they need to unwind, to recharge, or to refocus. By the way, from a semantic standpoint, there is no such thing as justified or justifiable murder. When one person kills another person, whether it is justified, such as in self-defense, or whether it is wholly unjustified cold blooded murder with malice aforethought, they may both be called homicide. To use a more specific word requires that we distinguish between whether the killing was legally justified. If the killing is not legally justified, then the proper term to use is either murder or manslaughter, depending upon the intention of the actor. In contrast, if the killing is one which modern law deems wholly justified, the correct term is justifiable homicide.


What biblical references on justified murder to override modern law?

In the Old Testament there are a few examples of laws that are contradictory to modern day laws. However, when Christianity came into being the Old Testament was no longer to be used as a model for life. All Scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16-17) But those are not the same laws by which we govern Jer 31:31-34; Heb 8:6-13There are none. The only justified murder is on capital punishment.Paul in his hearing for Festus states: "For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying." Paul confirms that the civil authority may justly execute wrong doers for certain crimesChrist himself regarded capital punishment as a just penalty for murder when He said to one of his disciples after he tried to kill a soldier who had come to arrest Jesus" "...all who take the sword will perish by the sword."When Jesus faces Pilate, Pilate says to Him: "Do you not know that I have power to crucify you..?" Jesus replies: "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above." (John 19:10 -11) Jesus reminds Pilate that the use of the death penalty is a divinely entrusted responsibility that is to be justly implemented.In the parable of the wicked vinedressers Luke 20:9-16, Jesus states that the proper punishment for murder is death. Christ also pronounced this judgment on those who rebelled against their king.In Luke 19:27, Jesus pronounced judgment on those who rebelled against their king. Jesus is the King. So it is clear that neither Christ nor His apostles intended to abrogate the God-given responsibility of the state to protect its citizens and enforce justice by capital punishment.============================================================The above statement, "[t]he only justified murder is on capital punishment", is simply incorrect. Since modern law deems capital punishment wholly justified, it is not murder. Regardless of what others may think, the word murder does not simply mean the purposeful or intentional killing of another human being. Instead, murder means the unlawful purposeful or intentional killing of another human being. In other words, capital punishment is correctly deemed homicide and not murder.

Do you think that the Holocaust can be justified?

Everything can be justified in someone's mind, no matter how barbaric. Those guilty of murder often think that they were justified in what they did. So the question is not does any one person think that the Holocaust can be justified, it is does society think it can be justified... the mass of people thinking as a unit. And the answer to that is always a resounding No.
