So I guess, "Thou shalt not kill", for example, is not a moral absolute. It appears to qualify under some circumstances and not under others. Sounds a lot like "situation ethics" to me.

Again, the original word in the original text was not "kill", it was "murder." There is a difference between killing wrongdoing in a lawful manner sanctioned by the state, and murder. That is the issue here.

It sounds like you are disputing the infallibility of the Bible. Am I correct?
