I didn’t say I was a GOOD Catholic!! :)

Thanks for the correction. REALLY need to hit the good book again. Loved it as a child and as a teen.

Life distracts you sometimes from what’s really important.

Most English language Bible translations do say "You shall not kill". Numerous scholars of Hebrew and Greek assert that these languages have multiple words for "end the life of a living thing", and that the word used in Exodus and Deuteronomy means "unlawfully end the life of a living human being". In English, that would be "murder" not the more generic "kill".

Actually, you quoted the Fifth Commandment correctly. :-)

The Catholic Ten Commandments are:

1. I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
3. Remember thou keep holy the Lord’s Day.
4. Honor thy father and thy mother.
5. Thou shall not kill.
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
7. Thou shalt not steal.
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.
