Bible Note: The sixth commandment is better rendered "you shall not commit murder." God in the very next chapter (Exodus 21) gives explicit instructions for the capital punishment for certain offenses. Obviously, if He is consistent, God does not consider murder and capital punishment to be the same. Thanks! --Joe! |
