167. Does God want believers today to kill others of a different faith even if it goes against their own conscience?
the Bible No
Yes the Quran
the Bible's Perspective
Acts 24:16In this I also practise always having a conscience void of offence towards God and men.
1 Timothy 1:5But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
1 Timothy 1:19holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
1 Peter 3:16having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
the Quran's Perspective
Al-Baqara (The Cow) 2:216Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.
Al-Anfal (Spoils of War) 8:17Ye (Muslims) slew them not, but Allah slew them. And thou (Muhammad) threwest not when thou didst throw, but Allah threw, that He might test the believers by a fair test from Him. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.
