So, is it, “You shall not murder” or “You shall not kill”? These are two very different things.

I was speaking of the entirety of the Torah, not the tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai.

Why do they always misrepresent Thou Shalt Not MURDER as Thou Shalt Not KILL? There is a difference between the two.

Hebrew word “ratsah” should be rendered “murder.” This root refers only to criminal acts of killing.

How is that a commandment? It’s a declaration.

Thank you for verifying what I always thought to be correct. I always understood it to mean murder, even though many say it means kill.

Did you notice after completing the second part when the images were flashing the demonic images? It was very creepy.

"Ten commandments" is an English idea. The Torah says, "Atzeret debrot" which is probably the genesis of the phrase, but these words are usually translated as "ten words." The Torah actually contains 613 commandments.

The commandments all go all the way into the heart and mind. Jesus said if you looked with lust at a woman, you have committed adultery. If you have thought murderous thoughts, you have committed murder and so forth.

Passing or fleeting on these thoughts are not sinful; dwelling on them is.

Why do you say that? I take the statement at face value and it is correct. There is a clear difference between kill and murder.

Killing was necessary to put meat on the table. Sometimes in law enforcement and in self-defense killing is necessary. Just warfare involves killing. These killings are not sin - not against the sixth commandment.

The test said “killing” was never allowed.

I agree that murder is never allowed, but there IS a time for killing, just as you stated. Obviously I failed that question on their test. But certainly I did not fail in understanding of God’s word.

Oh, I understand now. And I failed that question for the same reason.

Question #6 YOU SHALL NOT KILL

1 - I’d never kill another person (this was the “correct” answer according to the testers)

2 There are circumstances when killing is okay (this is actually the correct answer - the way I answered the question)

3. Killing is just another part of living (fail)

Yes, but IMO, even though killing is not the sin of murder, there is a loss of holiness that accompanies killing.

King David told his son Solomon:
