We as humans believe that there HAS
to be justification for the taking of human life. Some people have told me that the police
officer that shot the shooter at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin was justified for
killing the shooter. How can I condemn
that officer for doing his job? First of
all, I don’t condemn him as I don’t condemn anyone. Murder is giving reason for taking a human
life. Sometimes there IS no reason and
sometimes when there is reason it’s justified.
Would it have been better if the officer had NOT killed the
shooter? I would say that is for God to
judge; not me. Maybe there are
justifiable reasons for the taking of human life, but I would rather err by
saying there is not, than to try to sort out the mind of God and say that God
allows such-and-such and then say that God doesn’t allow for such-and-such.
If I err by
being too consistent about human life, it’s only because I do NOT believe God
makes exceptions and I won’t either. I
know for a fact that God does not allow for murder. But how then do I define murder if I say that
the law is inadequate for defining murder?
Many would say the officer was right in the eyes of the law to kill the
shooter. What I can’t say is what would
have happened had he had not killed the shooter; for that is something I do not
know. I say that murder is the
purposeful taking of human life regardless of law. Maybe God will make exceptions and this is
one of them. I don’t know. It’s just that for this reason, I could have
never been a police officer. In fact, I
could not have done anything in life whereby the life of another would be in my
hands. I COULD be a medical ethicist,
but the fact is that I cannot pull the plug.
But at the same time, I wouldn’t be able to declare a person dead, when
in fact; he or she might not have been dead.
Police officers take an oath that I could NOT take.
Now, even
my children have asked me as to what I would do if someone came into my house
to do harm to my family. I don’t
know. It’s not something I have ever had
to face. Could I save my family without
doing harm to another if necessary? I
don’t know. I often thought about it,
but then my thinking is and has been that if my Angels gave me this Message
that I believe is for the world, it’s not something I am going to have to worry
about based on other things I claim my Angels told me. I knew at the time, it’s not something I
would have to worry about, but just because I don’t worry about it doesn’t mean
that others don’t worry about it, because it seems most everyone does at one
point in time or another. I would say
God has ways for us to live so that we don’t do harm to those who hate and
those who fear. I have said for this
reason, I am NOT quite human. People
have worries that I don’t have and there isn’t much I can do about it. Peace.
