Ratzah can be used in context of a non-murder killing. See numbers 35 in the Hebrew for examples. The KJV translation is plausible.

But you are missing the point. I accept that in context of the law as a whole, the subject of the 6th commandment is unjustified, unexcused intentional killing of a human being. We went over all that in crim law. But If you are going to stake your claim on carrying forward the entire Old Covenant legal structure, why not start with something we can agree on? Like murder. Trump is for it, if the dad is a rapist. Do you agree with Trump? Or with the law of God?

Peace,

Here is the constitutional truth, the federal government has not been given any authority over this matter, no matter how many SCOTUS rulings there are. I am a constitutionalist and thus this issue is a local one and more important, it is a family issue at heart & that is what Elohim judges, the heart. So what Donald personally thinks, I have no idea because I have never heard him say what you say he believes. Now I have heard him say that as long as planned parenthood performs abortion, they get no federal funding under his administration. And yes, I know he was for abortion in the past, however, who are you to judge ones past. Are we not to look to their fruit today as a sign of their repentance? Repentance is not a person shouting in public, it is taking our wrong doings before Elohim, in the privacy of our homes and saying we have learned the error of our way and we no longer choose to walk in the errors, but go forward, learning as we grow in the knowledge of Elohim's Word & applying His Word to our lives.

I have to say, I am so sick of Christian hypocrisy, where there is no evidence of the example of forgiveness that Messiah set before us. To not dwell on the past, but to look to the present and judge the fruits of the present as Elohim took the bad fruits of our pasts and placed them on His Son, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, who died to take the upon Himself, the sins of the ENTIRE world.

We do not know what tomorrow brings, we only have today and today, the only one truly standing up for the Word of Elohim is Donald Trump. He may not be doing so perfectly, but his heart is in the right place. He is not thinking of himself as all the others are, Trump is putting our country first, you & me!

And FYI, Paul says that what you call the “old” covenant is the new covenant. It is the same substance, it is just that it is no longer written in stone, but upon our hearts, so to do it, to obey the Father and Messiah obeyed the Father. As the Father and the Son are one, so are His commands. We have a Constitution and from it hangs all the statutes passed by Congress. Mt 22 tells us the same is for Elohim, from the 10 Commandments (Elohim's Constitution) hangs all the Torah and the Prophets. He gave all to Moses on the mountain at the same time. They are inseparable, just as the Father and the Son are inseparable.

Exo 24:12 And YHWH said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be there, while I give you tablets of stone, and the Torah and the command which I have written, to teach them.” ... see Mt 22:34-23:3

Shalom
