Can a Christian commit murder?

Question

I'm stuck financially living with a toxic narcissist and am also a Christian. However, I also extremely dislike the person I'm living with and have fantasies about commiting murder. If I had a hypothetical free kill without any legal consequences I would probably kill said person because of all the suffering they cause me. It's not something I'm proud of but I'm being completely honest. I'm in a conundrum, I know that I'm saved yet I also know that I'm capable of taking a life of I'm pushed far enough. Any help please. I've been fasting and praying for any breakthrough on this issue and I always get nothing. I'm at my wits end and need any helpful advice I can get. Thanks.

Knowing that murder is a crime, as well as a deadly sin, you should be making plans to exit that toxic relationship ASAP, regardless of the cost. You should also seek professional counseling. You're welcome.

Is it possible a Christian can commit murder?  Yes, if they are led by the devil.  There are surely some Christians in prison for having done so.   But it is not a Christian thing to do.

In the defense of life or property only. My advice is to dump this guy, get a job and an apartment. If college kids can do it, you can. THEN return to school, graduate and get a better job. I recommend banking or health care.

You're stuck living with a toxic narcissist for financial reasons? OMG, you're Melania Trump! Hi Melania! I've always felt sorry for you, and I know you'd leave in a heartbeat if you could afford to. You have my sympathies, hon.

But seriously, if you're feeling murderous and financially trapped, speak with a counselor or therapist and a divorce attorney. In that order.
