Does it come down to defining "murder?" (which for me,
includes stepping on ants) or am I misunderstanding
something else?

As I remem the conversation, T was, wadr,
attempting to discredit "All things are lawful for me."

That has been resolved to my satisfaction. I've moved on.

However, I see upon rereading some posts that I completely misread what you said! I can only guess that your answer was so contrary to what I expected that I read it the way I was expecting you to answer.

Pleeeeease, answer with a yes or a no.

Actually, I misremembered what my question was. I asked you if it was lawful for you to murder someone, and you answered "yes". I took is a the opposite; that it was unlawful for you to commit murder.

So, with this new light shed on the issue, I am ironically more confused about you than ever. But I must apologize for accusing you of contradicting yourself: you said all things are lawful for you (as the literal reading of Paul's epistle would indicate) and that it is lawful for you to commit murder. No contradiction there.

So it is merely an untruth. You say it is lawful, but it is in fact not lawful. It's illegal, immoral, against the law (both man's law and what a lot of people would think is God's law).

Anyway. Live and learn.
