« PLAN INTRODUCTION I- Definition II- A murder in Judaism III- A murder in Christianity IV- The causes of murder V- The consequences of murder CONCLUSION 0 INTRODUCTION In the earliest societies the criminal's act is considered to be infringement of a religious rule, a moral precept or the transgression of a social group ban.

The penal law is not dissociated with religion as it directs it today, in most democratic states; the collective reprobation surrounding crime is only stronger. I- Definition Murder: it is the fact of deliberately killing someone, ending a person's life by deliberately deciding it, spontaneously or by foreseeing it.Example: Cain was accused of the murder of his brother that he killed after being jealous of him.Synonym: homicide, murder, crimeEnglish translation: murderA homicide is the action of killing another human being, whether he is willful or not.

When the act is intended to kill or intending to cause bodily harm that results in death, it is usually referred to as murder, and assassination (or first degree murder) if it is more premeditated.

When the defendant has criminal intent other than that of killing and the victim nevertheless dies, or that he shows criminal negligence, the perpetrator of the offence will be rather accused of manslaughter.In the majority of societies, regardless of the reason, homicide is considered one of the most serious crimes that can be committed.

According to countries, laws distinguish homicides in categories of different gravités, often according to the presence of intention and premeditation. II- In Judaism Judaism, murder is a serious sin that does not quite cover homicide.

It is stated in the Ten Commandments (‫)הדיברות תער‬: 20.13 You will not commit assassination point.

The original language translation of this command is "Thou shalt not kill.

" It is not written "Lo taharog", a verb used especially when Cain kills Abel, in Ge.

4.8 but "Lo tirtza'h" - ‫לוברוה‬.This is a more complex legal notion, which does not cover homicide in the event of war, self-defense, or issued by a regular court (death penalty). III- In Christianity Christianity "God holds in his power the soul of all living and the breath of all flesh of man.

(Job 12.10)"; "Happy are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

(Matthew 5.9)". 1 According to one of the Ten Commandments, "You must not murder.

" He who kills will be liable to judgment.

", all human life, from the moment of conception to death, is sacred because the human person was wanted for himself in the image and likeness of the living and holy God. The murder of a human being is severely contrary to the dignity of the person and the holiness of the Creator.

However the bans of the murder did not abridge the right to put out of ř a murderer. Self-defense is an important duty for anyone responsible and participates in the common good. Are considered homicide: death penalty, Violence resulting in death, willful abortion, euthanasia, war, suicide, as well as any act that led to suicide. IV- The causes of murder The causes of murder are multiple and present multiform. From the book of Genesis, violence is relied through the conflict between Cain and Abel, which leads to the first murder of history.

This homicide is a fragaticide, suggesting that this is the case of any murder.

The remarkable recurrence of the term "brother" in the story also marks the close link, blood link, between the two characters.

However, this murder is emerging from jealousy and a deficit. Matthew 5: 21.22 "You heard that he was told to the old: You will not kill; The one who will kill me to be punished by the judges.

But I tell you that anyone who goes against his brother deserves to be punished by the judges; that who will say to his brother: Racca! deserves to be punished by the Sanhedrin; And that one who will tell him: Sandy! Deserves to be Punished by the fire of Gehenne ».

Jesus therefore associates murder, anger and insult him as different forms of the same violence. Anger, jealousy, desire envy, the hatred,.... »
