I get so confused on that commandment because like all the wars and things... How does that not follow under the commandment, to not murder. ESP the hymn about Christians marching to war with the cross??? Like WTF?

"Thou shall not kill" commandment is hypocritical?
|
I see... so you can put others to death, or god itself can.... but you can't slay them with premeditation.
That means that you can kill others by accident, only. And god is automagically exempt from its own rule by a technicality of language, huh? A technicality, let's not forget, that doesn't carry too well into "future" translations... Sounds dubious for a rule handed out directly from a god that, if we are to believe those "in the know", should know the future. I guess he's the same god that made arabic be the one and only perfect language to convey its message a few centuries later, huh? The right language is always the on in use where it "speaks" to people, it seems... 
Slit a baby lamb's throat! Aaaaahhh, that smell is so pleasing to me.
Oh, wait! I have a better idea. I'll impregnate a young virgin girl, she'll have my child, and my will for him will be to suffer a few hours and be murdered. That's the best idea I've had yet! How else will I be able to forgive these humans? Besides that, my infallible creation is almost entirely predatory based. The only way for my critters to survive is to kill each other, what will I think of next? These humans will sure love my morality.

Does that mean Jaime isn't guilty of murder based on a technicality of language? Or does it mean what it says, that Jaime killed a man and Billy murdered a man because killing and murdering are two different acts?

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists... and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible... would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?  "A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence." — David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X, Part I.
I always thought it was "thou shall not murder." Judging by quite a number of verses in the Bible, killing was quite sanctioned in the Bible.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
