> You seem to be using a mis-translation from the Vulgate or the KJV

I use the KJV, which translates the Word of God with sufficient accuracy for any Christian to adequately understand God’s Will and Christ’s Commandments.

One advantage to Christianity is that we need not debate the subtleties of linguistics in order to understand God’s intention. This is because Jesus Christ Himself provided further revelation, which removes all doubt.

In this case, the difference between “murder” and “kill” in the Ten Commandments is made moot by Christ’s words in the Sermon on the Mount. Not only is the Christian expected not to (murder/kill) his fellow man, but Christ holds us to an even higher standard of behavior, as we read in Matt 5 21:22. Irrespective of whether we believe God meant “Thou Shalt Not Murder” (as you believe) or “Thou Shalt Not Kill” (as I believe), that baseline is lifted to Christ’s higher expectation for His followers.

Likewise, FRiend.

The Torah was written in Hebrew by YHvH.

Anyone who claims to believe in Yah'shua
would look to the Hebrew understanding
of "You shall not Murder".

Yah'shua states in Mark

NAsbU Mark 12:29 Jesus answered, "The foremost is,
'HEAR, O ISRAEL! YHvH OUR Elohim IS ONE YHvH;
Yah'shua also said:
NAsbU John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."
The understanding that Yah'shua has made a new revelation
other than the prophesy in the Book of Revelation is indulging in blasphemy.

It states that YHvH has lied.

All followers of the Christ believe that YHvH is the same yesterday, today and forever.

YHvH commands that animals be killed and offered.

YHvH condemns murder, be it be Cain and Abel or any other
human Being created in the image of YHvH.
See Genesis 9:6

Most followers of the Christ believe the Sermon on the Mount
refers to the justice which will occur during the Millennium Reign of Yah'shua.
