If you kill someone while protecting another, do you go to hell?

Question for all the religion experts.

Killing someone is a sin obviously, and you go to hell, correct?

What if you're defending someone else and kill the person trying to kill another..do you still go to hell?

Killing someone is wrong.. very wrong.

You don't go to hell for it though.

It'd all depend on the circumstances, I suppose. But if it were purely in the act of defending someone, there was no personal wish of yours to do harm to the attacker, then no, I don't think you would go to Hell. But I don't want to pretend to know what God would decide in that situation.

Depends on your particular sort of fanatism. Many believe that even killing with malicious intent doesn't matter as long as you accept Jesus as your Homeboy.

No, killing is not a absolute sin.

I don't think there is just a heaven and a hell. I think there are degrees of glory between them. Think of the injustice of having just a heaven and a hell. Then, if you barely made it to heaven, you would have SO much more of a reward then a man that barely missed heaven...that sounds like injustice if I ever heard of it.

So I think it would be very likely for a protective killer to end up somewhere in between if he didn't repent properly.

Murder is a sin, killing isn't, according to the Bible.

Heaven/Hell theatrics aside, something along the of "is it ok to kill for the perceived 'greater good'?" would probably be a more universal question, not just pointed at Western religions.

My inner jury's honestly still out on that question...having recently been thrown into question by my continuing moral re-education. Not that it'll likely ever become an issue in my life, but it's good to know these things.

Now just replace "Christian" with "Muslim" and you would be correct.

(according to the Koran)

According to JIA, you will go to Hell regardless unless you Repent.

According to common sense, Hell doesn't exist.

Do you know what they say about common sense? That it is almost never common. wink
