To answer this question biblically, we must first define murder as illustrated in God’s Word. Looking at God’s command to the children of Israel and laws and ordinances given to Moses, we see that murder is the intentional and purposeful action to harm and take a human life.

What is interesting to discover is that the law concerning murder predates the Law. But the question still remains: Is it ever right or just to end a human life?

Is it right and just for law enforcement to end human life?

Is it right and just to end human life in war?

Does the Bible directly address abortion?
