How did it become irrelevant? I try to live my life by the words and actions of Jesus. He is, in my opinion, the best example I have. I do not believe him to be a liar or lunatic, and don't understand how you derived that.
Webster defines murder as the unlawful killing of another person, do you agree with this?
Yes. Do you?
I did not degrade the results of their actions. I said that, after the war is over, negotiators and diplomats come in to build peace. I said that war creates calmness, and I find that calmness is often equated with peace. They are not the same thing. I do not actually think that you mean that the headlines and the news media care anything at all about the truth of a matter. Their purpose is to sell subscriptions, and that headline is catchy.
I've never heard the word "calmness" used in any sense before. I think you may have created it to try to prove your degrading point.
Our men fought and died to bring the world peace. God bless them all.

If Jesus isn't who He Himself says He is, then there are only two options: He's a fraud, or he's a nutcase. Tertium non datur.

I don't think Jesus thought himself to be God. He refers to God as his father and people as his brethren.
LionofJudahDK said:He said that he and the Father is "one", clearly playing at the "YHWH Echad"-statement from Deut 6,4-5. Not counting the countless times where Jesus uses the "??? ????."-formula which in the LXX is what YHWH uses when speaking about Himself.
There is no getting around it: Jesus laid claim to being God. That is why so many Jews rejected Him (but a great number did NOT, which is worth noticing): They just couldn't accept the fact of the Incarnation.
Under the law, yes, but different countries have different laws. Some have had no laws against it. Do you think any killing is/was legal there (in places with no laws against it)?
What verses in the gospels are you referring to? I am interested to study this further.
I've been a Christian since 1978. Murder is unjustified killing that is premeditated. Spraying a mob with a Mini-14 when the same is attempting to burn down a human-occupied building is not murder. Hiring a hit man to kill your ex-husband is murder.
Nor 'are stand your ground' laws murder enablers. God did not mean for you victimize, nor did God mean for you to be victimized either. Jesus Christ was the last ordained sacrifice.
Mt. 10:21 withstanding.
