Self Righteous Murderers
Ironically, even the self-righteous legalists like the late Jack Hyles would justify committing heinous acts of murder and rape in the name of righteousness. One example of committing murder against another person is through assassinating their character. We know that regardless of motive, any fury directed at others amounts to committing actual homicide according to The Sermon on The Mount in Matthew 05, particularly Matthew 05:21-26. One such demonstration of such fury directed at others comes in the form of slander, which is what we technically refer to as character assassinations. We must resist the temptation to become self-righteous and legalistic, lest we murder others with slander, including murderous slander which manifests itself as passive aggressive behaviour.
