| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Taylor Marshall Show episode 106 answering the question, |
| 0:04.6 | can Christians kill other humans? We're going to look at the book of Genesis, but also |
| 0:10.4 | St Thomas Aquinas in the Sumetail O. |
| 0:13.0 | Secundi, question 64, in particular, Article 2 and Article 7 on self-defense. It's about to get real. |
