Assassinations

16 Quizzes

The meaning of the term assassination:
1. murder of a public figure by a sudden violent attack;

2. The destruction of somebody's reputation by malicious or treacherous means.
eg. character assassination by - attack, backbiting, backstabbing, belittlement, blackening, calumny, defamation, defamation of character, defilement, denigration, depreciation, dirt, dirty politics, disparagement, gossip column, juicy morsel, last-minute lie, malicious defamation, malicious gossip, muckraking, mudslinging, mudslinging campaign, name-calling, political canard, revilement, roorback, scandal, scandalmongering, slander, smear, smear campaign, smear word, tidbit, vilification, whispering campaign.

3. murder = execution, slaying - unlawful premeditated killing of a human being by a human being; is a kind of homicide; the crime of killing another person deliberately and not in self-defense or with any other extenuating circumstance recognized by law.

The language of Scripture distinguishes less clearly than the modern law between assassination and murder.

The prohibition against killing is all-inclusive, even to suicide, placing the ban not only on deliberate, purposeful slaying (Ex 21:12,14,18), but on all endangering of life through negligence (Dt 22:8) or recklessness (Lev 19:14) or hatred, anger and revengefulness (Lev 19:17).

Punishment of the Act: The Mosaic law presupposes the punishment of all killing of human beings on the ground of Gen 9:6, and repeatedly reiterates it (Ex 21:12,14; Lev 24:17,21; Nu 35:33; Dt 19:11).

The reason assigned being that man is made in the image of God. Hence to slay a man is paramount to lifting the hand against the Creator. And while the degrees of guilt are not indicated by the language, they are closely distinguished by the punishments prescribed. Not only notorious enmity against the slain and deliberate lying-in-wait on the part of the murderer (Ex 21:13; Nu 35:20; Dt 19:4,11), but also the nature of the instrument was taken into account to determine the nature of the crime(Nu 35:16).

Laws prohibiting killing (Deut. 27:24).
"Cursed is the man who kills his neighbor secretly."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"

1. Why did Cain, the farmer son of the first couple, killed his brother Abel?
Answer:
He was jealous when God chose Abel's sacrifice over his.

The Bible does not explain why Cain's offering was rejected. But God urged Cain to do what is right.
Gen 4:7, "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

Genesis 17:10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: "Every male among you shall be circumcised".

3. God destroyed Sodom because of its fierce:
a)homosexuality, b)greed, c)contempt(=a powerful feeling of dislike),
d)inhospitality(=lack of hospitality)

Answer: d.
In a nomadic society, where settlements were often few and far between, the obligations of hospitality were strict. It was a solemn duty to feed, clothe, and house strangers. Lot felt so bound by this rule that he was willing to sacrifice his two daughters to the mob in order to protect the strangers. But the custom of Sodom seemed acceptable to assault and rob strangers. For this crime Sodom and its sister city were destroyed.

4. The Angel who was about to destroy Sodom kept hurrying Lot to flee, even taking him by the arm when he hesitated. Why did the angel do that?

Answer:
The angel couldn't destroy the town until Lot was safe. By some judicious bargaining Abraham extracted from God the agreement that he would not destroy the city. Thereby angels were clearly under instructions not to destroy Sodom as long as Lot- the only righteous man in the place- remained.

Gen 19:16-24 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!"

18 But Lot said to them, "No, my lords, please! 19 Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can't flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I'll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn't it? Then my life will be spared."

21 He said to him, "Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it." (That is why the town was called Zoar.)

23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

5. Why there are two sets of Ten Commandments between Catholics and Protestants?

Answer:
In the Bible, the Commandments are not numbered. In the Orthodox and Protestant Churches, the prohibition against false worship is given as the first and the second Commandments, but in the Catholic and Lutheran Churches it is contained in the first. The subsequent Commandments are therefore numbered differently, with the prohibition against coveting split into two separate Commandments by Catholics and Lutherans to reach the number ten.

The first version follows Origen from the 2nd century, the 2nd version follows Augustine from the 4th century.

6. What were the first angels mentioned in the Bible doing?
