Islam wasn't before Christianity
The reason we have a new testament is to stop people from killing for Christianity. As most of us don't feel it's right to kill.
Islam began the seventh century, don't lie.

Well it is important to make the distinction between killing and murder.
Thou shalt not kill.
nvm dates wrong
For any reason outside wartime.
(And self defense, of course)
Murder means that there is evil intent behind the act. What if you kill in self defence, or to protect the life of another?
The hebrew text translates it to 'murder'
i know paganism is what a lot of christianity is based on
as far as holiays go
See ya later. I have class
i played overwatch for 14 hours this weekend
Well then, if we look at it that way, killing someone in defense of your family would be irrefutable.
see you cyld
Wrongdoings, correct.
As I believe in the Bible it states you may kill only when necessary to protect you or your family.
From what I understand, the bible states three justified killings:
1 - due consequence for crime
2- in warfare
3 - intruder in the home
that's what i remember from my readings
There we go. Couldn't remember what it was exactly, but that's what my mother and I discussed.
boosem mentioned paganism
the idea of Christmas itself is not pagan
the idea of a tree is, from what i understand
I could be wrong, i haven't looked into this
Christmas tradition is basically all pagan
The story is not
in today's modern world, yes
No, it's pretty much been all pagan since Rome
I'm trying to remember... My mother and I talked about this as well. She stated Easter, Christmas, and a few others were in fact originally Pagan holidays, not Christian ones.
My mother has been doing Bible study for pretty much her entire life, so I tend to go by what she tells me.
Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ, and Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. I don't see how that is pagan in concept.
Yeah, the story isn't pagan
But basically all of the traditions are
