there is no specificity, he didn't say "don't kill people you don't like" he didn't say "don't kill people" it says "thou shalt not kill"

everything you eat was once alive and is now dead whether by your own hand or the hand of another

if you refuse to eat you would die and in essence have killed yourself

it's always bothered me

Right, but it *means* murder. A religion that doesn’t let you physically defend yourself dies off instantly.

And Jesus Himself told His followers to sell their cloaks and buy swords.

> In biblical contexts, “murder” (Hebrew: רָצַח, ratsach) specifically refers to the intentional and premeditated taking of a human life, often with malice (Numbers 35:22-25). “Kill” (Hebrew: הָרַג, harag) can refer to both intentional and unintentional taking of life.

The English language has changed a lot over the years, without any expertise in the older versions I'd take a wild guess and say the older text refers to what we today call "murder", basically killing with intent, for no valid reason.

Self defense if unprovoked must be allowed. If you kill someone while defending yourself it's usually accidental, if we're looking back to the old days before deadly weapons such as firearms. Hence no intent.

The original Greek is 'Οὐ φονεύσεις' meaning "You shall not murder".

The greek word used there was the one for murder. One of the many accidental and/or purposeful mistranslations

Common sense. You're overthinking it by looking for specification where there is none. When you read "kill", your first thought is homicide.

Nearly all of the Bible texts are open for interpretation. It's intentional, and relies on common sense. A good Christian will do a rightful interpretation while a demonic entity would do a flawed interpretation. Just like the jews when they look for ways to fool God through technicalities.

The Swedes have an expression for it: "som fan läser bibeln" which means "Like the devil reads the bible", they actually use it frequently when some idiot reads a simple instruction and still manages to fail the task due to misinterpreting the instruction.

You're 100% right, also beware of (((subverted translations))) were they intentionally change words to "modernize" the language, while in reality (((they))) hope that more people will misinterpret Gods message.

Which is why the Catholic Church was 100% correct to safeguard the keeping of the bible to the Vulgate and to ensure that every village had a priest to interpret it and a copy chained down to the lectern so that everyone could read it. The Printing Press allowed any old jew and heretic to make their own, completely un-vetted "translation" and shill it to the masses as if it were somehow legitimate, and the worst offenders were those based on the (((Masoretic Text))).

A more accurate rendition would be "Thou Shalt Not Murder", which is how the Ancients and the Church understood it up until modernism and Scolfieldism decided to take it and "turn the other cheek" to an absurdly literal degree (while also allowing abominations such as abortion, which is possibly the most vile form of murder there is).

There are a number of situations where killing is not only permissible, but actually morally good, and these include capital punishment for capital crimes and killing your enemies in a just war. Only Liberal Jewmanism, disguising itself as Christianity, would suggest otherwise.

Thou shalt not kill means not to commit murder. Don't walk up to your neighbor and gut him because you covet his lands or his wife. This is a civilian law. It applies to civil society. It does not mean thou shalt not wage war.
