I agree with you as far as our own civil law is concerned. I was just putting the Mosaic Law in prospective with our own civil law in regards to using deadly force during the night as far as property was concerned. I was also giving my honest opinion as to "What would Jesus do?" if He caught someone stealing His car during the night. I am certainly not Jesus and I'm pretty sure (maybe I'm not so sure now that I think about it more) I'd use deadly force if someone were stealing my car during the night. If the Lord thought I'd done wrong, I'd face the consequences with Him later but I'm pretty sure state law would be on my side. I hope the Lord would keep me from such circumstances. (I do beleive, by the way, His forgiveness is unlimited. But I wouldn't argue the point with you)

Well, according to the law of Moses, if an intruder is struck and killed while invading ones home, the home owner is considered innocent of the criminal's blood. If it happens in the daylight, the home owner is guilty of manslaughter. I believe the vehicle and home would be considered the same by God. But I also agree with the statement, "What's more valuable, a car or a human life." I believe the statutes about this happening during the night is greatly influenced by the Mosaic Law. That being said, I believe Jesus would have let the perps go without firing a shot.
