I have studied the Bible in its original languages, and nuanced the distinctions of translators. In the end, it all boils down to one thing. Do you believe in magic?

Does the Bible say "Do not kill" or "Do not murder"?

Why ask that? It does not further the thread!

If you already know the answer, that implies that you are seeking to lay a trap. Sorry, I don't stick my appendages into them!

Part of your answer lies with the particular translator of the one you are reading. For a good read, that is fairly accurate, I prefer the New International Edition, by Zondervan Press. I have 23 different translations on my shelves, plus Greek, Hebrew, and Latin Vulgate. The Latin is the one I rely on least!

IMO, God has repeatedly directed His followers to slay their enemy, so that keeps it in perspective for me... You may answer that question yourself!
