    The Sixth Commandment “Thou Shalt Not Kill”

    The Sixth Commandment “Thou Shalt Not Kill” (Exodus 20:13 KJV) in the context of Bill C-14 (An Act to amend the Criminal Code of Canada to allow for assisted dying) July 31, 2016 By: Rev. Dr. Eric Bacon It was a few months ago that John mentioned to me that he was planning to present a series of sermons on the Ten Commandments which are now well in progress. At that time he asked whether I would be willing to participate. The assignment was the Sixth Commandment: “You shalt not kill.” (Words from the King James Version). I have to admit that my initial head reaction was “Are you serious?” But being a willing associate and team player my heart said yes knowing that this subject would certainly be a challenge. Following that conversation I began to consider the recurring and necessary question of which we as clergy have to remind ourselves which is: “Given the subject matter, and in this case one of the ten commandments, what message or approach might be of interest or helpful to the congregation, specifically in the here and now of our lives and place in society?” Or preferably, is there a relevant current issue or development within the scope of the selected scripture that deserves our attention and discernment. My answer came on June 16th with the passing of Bill C-14 by the Parliament of Canada, an Act to amend the Criminal Code to allow for assisted dying. Although there is a school of thought that suggests the pulpit is not the place to touch on things political, I believe that the subject matter of Bill C-14 goes far beyond political implications.

Kopel* I. Introduction The first five books of the Bible are sometimes called the Pentateuch. Jews call them the Torah, which means "teaching" or "instruction." 1 The Torah is by far the most important of Jewish scriptures. The Jewish Bible contains the same books as what Christians call the "Old Testament." Accordingly, the Torah is the foundation of Christian scriptures. This article surveys the Torah's teachings on the right and the duty to defend oneself and others. Part II examines the Book of Genesis, in particular, the "Jewish natural law" which was given to Noah, and the story of Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish people. Part III studies Moses and the Exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt. Part IV looks at Torah laws regarding home defense against burglars, and the duty of bystanders to rescue third parties who are being attacked by a "pursuer." The examination of the Torah laws includes analysis of the extensive Jewish scholarly commentary on the Torah.

    “Thou Shalt Not Kill” Pastor Andy Castrolang October 8, 2017

    “Thou Shalt Not Kill” Pastor Andy CastroLang October 8, 2017 Scripture (NRSV): Exodus 20:13 From the New Revised Standard Version: You shall not commit murder. From the King James Bible: Thou shalt not kill. From the Christian Standard Bible: Do not murder. From the Common English Bible: Do not kill. From the Complete Jewish Bible: Do not murder. From the Darby Translation: Thou shalt not kill. From the Easy to Read Bible: You must not murder anyone. From the God’s Word Translation: Never murder. From the International Standard Version: You are not to commit murder. From the Orthodox Jewish Bible: Thou shalt not murder. From the Wycliffe Bible: Thou shalt not slay. And from Young’s Literal Translation: Thou dost not murder. Sermon: I looked at 51 Bible translations of this verse in Exodus. As you have heard, there isn’t a lot of variation. It’s there, blunt and to the point: don’t kill. In case we have forgotten in our massacre prone, blood-soaked culture of senseless violence…this is the sixth commandment of the ten given to Moses on the mountain by God as the Hebrew slaves escaped into the desert, and lived out there in the wilderness. That is how the story goes in the book of Exodus: Through the help of Moses, God’s messenger, they have received their freedom, the food needed to live, the water needed to sustain them, and now they receive rules of life for free people. Not slaves any longer, they have to make decisions, set guidelines, make rules for their life together as a community.
  • You Shall Not Murder

    You Shall Not Murder

    CHAPTER 9 Brad McKinnon YOU SHALL NOT MURDER Matthew 5:21-24 One Main Thing The baseline for how we are to treat each other is found in the ancient admonition, “You Shall Not Murder.” Introduction There are many examples of ancient law codes that prohibited murder. Early Mesopotamian civilizations, such as Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria all had them. For instance, the Sumerian Code of Ur-Nammu (ca. 2100 BC) includes a rather straightforward injunction against murder and the subsequent punishment: “If a man commits a murder, that man must be killed.”1 Developing out 1. Code of Ur-Nammu. http://www.polk.k12.ga.us/userfiles/644/ Classes/177912/Code%20of%20Ur-Nammu.pdf. — 75 — YOU SHALL NOT MURDER of a similar cultural context, it shouldn’t surprise us that ancient Israel emphasized the protection of human life as well. Going Deeper [The Sixth Commandment in Translation] The traditional rendering, “Thou shalt not kill,” has been replaced in most modern translations with something like, “You shall not murder” (Exod 20:13; NRSV). Legally, the term murder has a very specific connotation—the unlawful and usually intentional taking of a human life. There are other terms (i.e. manslaughter) that indicate unlawful killing that is unintentional or without premeditation. So, the initial question for the student of Scripture is whether or not the Hebrew word (ratsah) allows for the narrowing of the prohibition so that it would not include killing that may be intentional, but legal, such as capital punishment, killing in combat, etc. A quick perusal of other passages where the term ratsah appears indicates the term can include a meaning broader than “murder.” While in Exodus, the term occurs only in 20:13, it turns up quite often elsewhere in the Pentateuch, almost exclusively in relation to the establishment of cities of refuge.

    Our time’s ‘Great Moral Calling?’ If you haven’t been exposed to animal activists, you might relegate this speaker to just an isolated incident. Yet it seems those advocating a vegan lifestyle are carrying this theme of “thou shalt not kill” forward with increased frequency. @In 2004, when Mel Gibson released The Passion of the Christ, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) protested outside his cattle ranch in Montana with signs that read, “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and “Honor All of God’s Creations.” The group argued that farm animals were the original innocents, worthy of merciful pardon from our plate. PETA’s vegan campaign director was quoted at the time saying, “Anyone who sends cows to slaughter mocks God.” @The Vegan Wolf, an Internet vegan blogger, writes, “The Bible says, ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill.’ It doesn’t say, ‘It’s OK to kill animals and Iranians.’ It says, ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill.’” @Gene Baur, founder of the no-kill livestock shelter he calls Farm Sanctuary and author of Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food, stresses that animals are “individuals” and that compassion for them is the great moral Thou Shalt Not Kill calling of our time.

  • The Ten Commandments

    The Ten Commandments

    Welcome to OUR 9th VIRTUAL GSP class! the Ten Commandments. O Almighty Lord, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy commandments; that through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. PSALM 19.7-8 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and gives light to the eyes. WHERE DO WE FIND THE TEXT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? The Ten Commandments, a set of Biblical principles relating to ethics and worship fundamental to both Judaism and Christianity, appear twice in the Old Testament at Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6- 21. The text of these two references are virtually identical. The commandments are called “the ten words,” “the ten sayings,” or “the ten matters.” In the Septuagint the “ten words” in Greek became “Decalogue.” Exodus 20: 1-7, King James Version (1611) 20 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

    Joshua Daily Devotionals Week One: Holiness is Loving God and Loving Our Neighbor Monday, 4/13 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:2–3, 7 ESV) In Joshua 1:1–9, we get a summary of the man’s life: he completed the work of Moses. Joshua and Moses are forever linked. He is introduced in Exodus 17 as Moses’ assistant and military commander. When Moses dies, Joshua is installed as Israel’s leader and is told to carry out all the things that Moses did not. When the work is done, Joshua disappears. Joshua is mentioned 168 times in the book bearing his name. He’s mentioned 6 more times in the story of his death in Judges 1–2. After that, he’s only mentioned 4 times in the rest of the Bible. For comparison, Moses is mentioned 852 times. Outside of his role during the conquest, we don’t know much about Joshua. He is forever in the shadow of his mentor. And yet, he remained faithful to God and finished the work Moses was unable to finish.

    Thou Shalt Not Covet (Exodus 20:17)

    (Devotional #32) Christian Liberty and the Law – The Ten Commandments: The 10th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Covet (Exodus 20:17) WHAT SHALL WE THEN SAY? That the Law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the Law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the Law had not said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COVET’ – Romans 7:7 AND HE SAID TO THEM, ‘take care, and be on guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions’ – Luke 12:15 PUT TO DEATH, therefore, what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry – Colossians 3:5 YOU SHALL NOT COVET YOUR NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE; YOU SHALL NOT COVET YOUR NEIGHBOR’S WIFE OR HIS MALE SERVANT OR HIS FEMALE SERVANT OR HIS OX OR HIS DONKEY OR ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO YOUR NEIGHBOR – Exodus 20:17 (“Thou Shalt Not Covet” is the King James translation of the 10th Commandment.) One could say, ‘OUR CULTURE VALUES COVETING.’ MADISON AVENUE INCITES US TO COVET! Think about the Media. The Media has made an industry out of discontent. The never-ending message is: ‘Look at these people! They are living a great life! Look at what they have! Now look in the mirror – at YOU! If you had what they have, you would be happy too!
