It’s actually more accurate to say “thou shall not murder”.
Killing in self defense, war or punishment by law is certainly permitted throughout Scripture.

I agree. I remember questioning “thou shall not...” back in Sunday School. I tried the “turn the other cheek” and was okay with it except in the cases of the bully hitting harder the second time. I learned to block, learned to cock and learned to knock.
That’s where we are now.
