One would think not. And yet, see how many places the Scripture details circumstances when it is not only acceptable but even moral to kill another. The Bible has an incredibly high body count. Thousands fell to David's sword or by his word, and yet he was still considered among the Chosen of the Almighty. The archangels themselves often wield swords and spears. And of course, the were the Crusades and Inquisition, where thousands more died in the name of holy righteousness.
If he without sin is to cast the first stone, then, I can assure you, by all rights, the Church deserves to stand emptyhanded.
