Question
".... whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; the for God made man in his own image .... " The above passage explains
Options

The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
The passage given in the question states that whoever kills a human being shall have their own blood shed by another human being because God made humans in His own image. This means that the passage is discussing the punishment for taking another person's life. The correct option is option D which states that the passage disapproves of violence. The passage is not discussing the origin of blood revenge or the importance of blood, nor is it prohibiting suicide.
In Christianity, the belief that humans are made in the image of God is an important one as it implies that all humans have inherent value and dignity. Taking another person's life is seen as a grave violation of this belief, and the passage in question is emphasizing the seriousness of such an act by stating that the perpetrator should face punishment in kind. This passage is found in Genesis 9:6 in the Bible and is often cited in discussions about the morality of the death penalty.
It is important to note that while the passage does not condone violence or taking another person's life, it does acknowledge the reality of violence in the world and provides a framework for dealing with it through punishment. Ultimately, the passage emphasizes the value of human life and the responsibility we have to protect it.
