I'm not sure.

I don't believe self-defense is wrong, if that's what your asking.

But I am 100% against abortion - and the death penalty.

I am 100% for protecting innocent life. sometimes that means executing someone who is both guilty of murder, and a danger to repeat the offense.

babies however are innocent beings.

So many times we convict and execute wrongfully.

In that case, we become murderers ourselves.

I am for laws that limit the ability to inact the death penalty to cases where solid and obvious evidence exists.

that does not mean I am for allowing a killer to continue to have oppurtunity to kill again.

I guess my next question is who is we, and how do you define murder?

Killing the innocent.

Didn't God command the killing of innocent people at times? I think to be murder it has to be more than just the killing of the innocent.

No, he didn't.

Entire nations were judged, and executed accordingly.

However, that in no wise fits in with New Testament Christianity.
