That Which Is Wrong Under One Circumstance, May Be, And Often Is, Right Under Another. God Said, 'thou Shalt Not Kill'; At Another Time He Said, 'thou Shalt Utterly Destroy.'

Whatever God Requires Is Right, No Matter What It Is, Although We May Not See The Reason Thereof Till Long After The Events Transpire.
