The Bible states that their is "a time to kill"

I will in compliance with his implied wish (to make this one of the fastest debates ever attempted on debate. org), post a speedy resolution. I would like to thank him for being one of the most skilled debaters on this site. [Definitions] Free will - the power of making free choices unconstrained by external agencies wordnet. princeton. edu/perl/webwn Appointed - chosen by one person or a small group of people. www. historycentral. com/Civics/a. html Now I will get to the rebuttal. My opponent has posted a resolution however I don't see a clear line of the resolution he is attempting to prove. I'd like to offer my apologies to my opponent as well as to the voters of this debate if I mistake his resolution. I am unsure of whether my opponent is attempting to resolve that: 1. There is indeed a time for everything 2. The printed Bible states that: "there is a time to kill" 3. The Bible advocates the killing of other human beings or things. Since my opponent indeed has the burden of proof for all three of his implied resolutions, I will attempt to refute all the supporting arguments my opponent has made regarding the topic. 1. My opponent has stated that there is an appointed time for everything. I'd like to start off by noting that my opponent has provided no proof that there is an appointed time for everything. Furthermore the Bible contradicts this claim when it states: "Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. " (Proverbs 3:31) The word "choose" gives man the choice of what to do. Therefore it implies that man has free will. Since the bible denotes that man has free will, since man has free will it is impossible that he can be "appointed' (see definition above) to do anything. Therefore this disproves my opponent's resolution that there is an appointed time for everything. 2. My opponent states that the printed Bible states that "there is a time to kill" however However these two printed bibles state: Young's Literal Translation A time to slay, And a time to heal, A time to break down, And a time to build up. Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex . http://wlc.hebrewtanakh.com... . http://scripturetext.com... It's quite obvious that these two bibles do not exactly state that there is a time to kill. Since my opponent has stated that "the Bible states" and not "such and such a version of the bible states there is a time to kill" Therefore this resolution is disproved. 3. The sixth commandment is Thou shalt not kill. " ~Exodus 20:13 Authorized version of King James The exact Hebrew wording of this biblical phrase is lo tirtzack which accurately translates as "any kind of killing whatsoever. " Therefore God is not advocating that humans kill each other, but that He is responsible for vengeance. This is implicit when He states in Romans 12:19-21 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. " 20 To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. " 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Therefore I have accurately and to the best of my ability refuted all my opponent's resolutions. I would like to thank my opponent for this enthralling debate and would wish that voters post reasons for their votes. I will only count votes that have reasons posted next to them. The rest is meaningless to me.
