I also know that only God knows which is which. I don't think it's up to us to decide what is murder and what is killing. Is so called 'collateral damage' murder or killing? God knows, not us. If you shoot a prowler in your home, murder or killing? God's call and you can hope he sides with you, but you don't know. The death penalty? God knows. What if a policeman shoots someone he THOUGHT was armed but wasn't? God knows, not us.

Concidering this, it would be wise to err on the side of caution when taking lives.
