Question about the commandment, "Thou shall not kill"?

Hi, Computer Nerd:

The word for kill in hebrew is actually murder.

Thus, when someone deserves execution, or you defend yourself, or your country from agressors in combat, those who have broken the law have, you might say, Killed Themselves.

But where laws that were instituted by God are twisted and protocol not followed to insure the innocent are not condemned, then the Government becomes guilty of murder.

Thus it was in Jesus´assasination. The King of Kings was murdered where there was no lies on His lips. Thus, God´s judgments are against Israel, and they, like the mighty Samson, will perish with their antagonists in the coming conflagration.

See the links posted in my profile to see where we are going.

Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

That is a question that has been studied for more than 2, 000 years. So far, the consensus seems to be that if killing is the ONLY alternative to dying or to another being killed then it is permissible, but that the killer should still confess the deed and do penance for it.

An accidental death is just that, an accident. Since causing death was never the intent, that a death did ensue from the accident is no ones fault and no sin has been committed.

Hope this helps.

"Thou shalt not kill" is a mistranslation of "Thou shalt not murder." Murder means to deliberately kill. An accidental killing is nobody's fault and self-defense is a means of survival, which is forgiveable because it's not deliberate.

there is no "thou shalt not kill" commandment. that is a mistranslation.

it is "thou shalt not murder" which coincidentally solves all of these issues.

killing in self defense, or defense of an innocent is not murder.

killing combatants in war, is not murder.

accidents aren't (by definition) even close to intentional so not murder.

If you are in a matter of life or death situation then yes it would be perfectly reasonable if you survive by killing in self defense.

that commandment is meant to say thou shall do no murder

It's fine, because it means "murder".

So it's not permitted to kill humans intentionally.

Unless of course they are gays, women, prostitutes, heathens, witches, canaanites, gays, children, asians, liberals, atheists, mime artists, telemarketers, gay liberal mime artists, sinners, gays, or any of the other 4, 726 accepted biblical exceptions.

The word kill in hebrew is "laharog"(to kill)

the word murder in hebrew is "lirtzoch"(to murder)

the old testement says "lo tirtzoch" do not murder.

For that matter what about killing in the name of your country, if you want to take unexcused exceptions here.

thou shall not be a computer nerd, not even in self defense nor accidental. what thou shall not be, thou shall not be. no excuses.
