You have got to be kidding, right? As I explained already, the injunction against murder was given to Noah and his family and all that were to proceed from them, aka: all mankind. Thus within the family of Noah there were elect and non-elect. Secondly, the reason that murder was forbidden was because ALL men were created and are created in the image of God. If this were not so and IF as you are claiming that those created in the image of God only refers to the elect, it must be that murdering a reprobate individual is sanctioned by God. Thirdly, again IF the text says what you are wanting it to say, then how could anyone be charged with murder, especially after the Christ had come (or are you going to assert that this injunction ended with the coming of Christ?), without being able to discern that the victim was one of the elect? It's all nonsense... utter silliness, illogical, and contrary to the Scripture's teaching concerning murder elsewhere.

In His grace,
