Do you believe self-defense against someone trying to kill someone, is not murder?

If say for instance, husband and wife are married, the man beats up on his wife and follows her everywhere waiting for the right moment to get her alone because she left him, and she uses self-defense i.e. karate to kill him in self-defense, can she be prosecuted?

no its not murder..

Killing Someone In Self Defense

Killing Someone In Self Defense

Is it a sin to kill someone in self defense or for patriotic reasons ?

Like in a war, I killed someone because he was going to kill me or I was fighting for my country.

Sin and morality are separate issues. Sin is separation from God not necessarily immorality. To understand sins, we must first understand God's Laws, because breaking God's commandments is the one leading to sins.

God is Spirit and when we want to be under His commandments, we should interpret from a Divine perspective. God wants us to understand the reason for His laws (i.e. the spirit behind the words) and not to apply on face value only. Laws are made for lawless and disobedient people, righteous people are already guided by their good intentions. Any intentions motivated by selfishness (i.e. spirit of treachery) is a form of unfaithfulness - i.e. dishonoring one's promises to each other. A good test is: "would we accept it if we are the one being treated this way?"

Rahab the prostitute chose to tell a lie, so that “Jews” hiding on her roof would not be killed by the enemies. When the midwives were called into Pharaoh and questioned why they had not killed the Hebrew male children, they lied ….. but God blessed them. The governing principle, that surpasses all others is, “You shall love others as yourself. Love works no ill to another”. It settles any apparent conflict of principles. Therefore where there's love, there is fulfilment of law.

God wants a faithful spirit, motivated by love for Him to love others as we love ourselves. Because when we love God, we will naturally want to be faithful in all things. In all conflicting situations we face, we ask ourselves if we are still bound by our promises, or if we are doing it out of an evil reason. The result of our decisions should be to "save" and our decision should not leave us feeling guilty.

In situations as such, I would pray for help from the Holy Spirit in Jesus name, for the ability to discern my situations and wait for advice from God which will prompt me inside my heart what to do. When I work with the Holy Spirit, He is so gentle and will not rush me into making any decision. And any decisions prompt by God will always leave a sense of fulfilment and peacefulness in me.
