Murder

Is murder a crime in God’s sight?
“Yes, a great crime because those who take the life of another fellow being thereby cut short a life of expiation or mission – hence the evil.”
Is there always the same degree of culpability in murder?
“We have already said: God is just; God judges the intent rather than the deed.”
Does God excuse murder in cases of legitimate defense?
“Only necessity can excuse it; but if we can save our life without having to take the life of the aggressor, we must do so.”
Are persons culpable for the murders they commit in war?
“Not if they are coerced through force; nonetheless, they are responsible for the cruelties they commit. Likewise, their display of humaneness will also be taken into account.”
Which is more culpable in God’s sight: parricide or infanticide?
“They are both equally culpable, for all crime is crime.”
Why is infanticide a custom condoned by legislation among certain cultures that are already evolved from an intellectual perspective?
“Intellectual development does not necessarily imply moral development. Spirits of superior intelligence may be evil. They are the ones who have lived many lives without improving themselves.”
