Transcript

00:00In this video, we open the scroll on the Sixth Commandment, a commandment that's been misquoted

00:07more times than we can count.

00:09You've heard it said, Thou shalt not kill, but that's not what scripture actually states.

00:16And this mistranslation has actually led to mass confusion and misunderstanding over the

00:23years, whether it be in courts, in battlefields, in sermons, etc.

00:29Some have used it to speak against self-defense.

00:32Some have used it to justify pacifism.

00:36But in this video, we'll see that it's not what Yahweh meant, not even close.

00:41So join us for this teaching on the Sixth Commandment, Thou shalt not kill or Thou shalt not murder.

00:48Stay tuned.

00:59All right, so this teaching or episode is going to be all about the Sixth Commandment

01:11and our continuing series on the Ten Commandments.

01:14This is going to be the commandment of do not kill or Thou shalt not kill, however you want

01:20to put it.

01:21Now, if you'd like more notes about this particular subject than what you're seeing here on your

01:35video.

01:36You'll be able to see the draw slides that you see here on your screen if you're watching

01:40on a video platform.

01:41You'll also be able to see the notes that we took for this particular episode, which

01:45includes a lot more notes than what you're going to get here in this particular teaching.

01:49So go check it out today.

01:51You'll also see the transcript as well if that so happens to be of benefit to you.

01:56But it's all available for you right there on our website at GodHonestTruth.com.

02:00And of course, like always, we provide a convenient link to that article post down below in the

02:06description.

02:07And that should be there whether you're watching on a video platform or an audio podcasting

02:12platform.

02:12That link should be down there in the description all the same.

02:17The sixth commandment is pretty well ingrained in most people's minds.

02:21It's one of the more shorter commandments, as it were.

02:25And it's the pretty much the first of the short commandments.

02:30And here is the King James version, which I grew up with and probably a lot of you grew up

02:36with as well, this is really nostalgic to have those up there in the King James rendering.

02:41But the command itself states from the translation we use nowadays, you do not murder.

02:48And that's the commandment that comes from Exodus chapter 20, verse 13.

02:53Now here, if you're watching on video, you can see all the translations, the English translations

03:00that came before the King James version.

03:03Of course, the Wycliffe being the first or the first complete Bible anyways.

03:08But the Wycliffe says, thou shalt not slay, which is much more different than the kind

03:15of language we use nowadays.

03:16But the rest of them, the Tyndale, which came before the King James and the King James,

03:21well, let's just be blunt.

03:24The King James is pretty much about 75, 80 percent just a copy of the Tyndale anyways.

03:28But Tyndale, like the King James, like the Coverdale, like the Great Bible, like the Geneva Bible,

03:34and like a lot of other translations, it states, thou shalt not kill.

03:40But is that actually what it says?

03:43Just killing in general for any old purpose?

03:46Is that what it's really trying to prohibit here?

03:49Well, the word we got here for either slay or kill or murder is Hebrew word.

03:55And that is Strong's 87523, the Hebrew word, rasach.

04:01And that means, according to a lot of biblical usage from Blue Letter Bible, to murder, slay, or kill,

04:09like we've just saw from those various translations.

04:13But it refers to, and sometimes in Scripture, premeditated, accidental as an avenger, slayer,

04:19to be slain, to murder, assassinate, murder, or assassin.

04:22From Strong's definition, the entry they have here means to dash in pieces, to kill,

04:29especially to murder, to put to death, to kill, et cetera, et cetera.

04:34Here's your Brown Driver Briggs entry for rasach.

04:38Rasach.

04:40Brown Driver Briggs has it, well, pretty much the same way,

04:42meaning murder, slay, murder, slay with premeditation, slay as avenger, slay as a manslayer,

04:47slay, without intent, with intent, assassinate, et cetera, et cetera.

04:51And here's your Justinius' Hebrew lexicon.

04:54And they all pretty much say the same thing, just kind of usually put it in a little bit different

04:59way of phrasing it, I guess you could say, with some different information there.

05:05But like always, if you want the full entry for each of these various lexicons and dictionaries,

05:10go to our website, check on the notes that we have provided for you, and it's all free of charge.

05:16Here's your Jastro's Dictionary of the Targums for rasach, and your Klein Dictionary entry.

05:22And again, I pretty much got the same thing, to slay, murder, slay, murder, commit suicide even.

05:28Of course, usually, the full entry in Jastro's really doesn't mean to commit suicide so much

05:35as it is to cause the death of someone other than yourself, to put it that way.

05:43But it technically can mean commit suicide.

05:47But here's some of the differences and the nuances between these two concepts of kill and murder,

05:53just to try to make it more clear as we go on and discuss whether or not this command means

06:00do not kill in general or do not murder specifically.

06:04Just as a refresher and to bring it to the forefront of your mind, you probably already know this,

06:08but just to say it explicitly, kill is the act of causing death to someone.

06:16Obviously, right?

06:17Or even causing death to something like an animal.

06:20Like you're going to have food for supper or something.

06:25Murder, on the other hand, is the intentional and unjustified act of causing death to someone.

06:32Generally, to someone who is innocent or does not deserve it.

06:38Kill may be legal or illegal, while murder almost always is illegal.

06:44Killing may or may not involve intent to cause death.

06:48It could just be a self-defense thing that just pops up.

06:51It could be accidental.

06:53But murder almost always involves intent to cause death, premeditation, stuff like that.

07:00Kill may be morally justified, such as in the case of self-defense.

07:07It is morally justified to take the life of someone.

07:11When you're hungry and you want to eat, Scripture does not forbid eating meat.

07:15So, of course, then you have to kill an animal.

07:19And it's morally justified to kill an animal for food.

07:22However, murder is generally and just about always unjustified, morally speaking.

07:30So, there's some of the various nuances between kill and murder.

07:35But generally, in a nutshell, murder is taking the life or causing the death of an innocent

07:41or someone who doesn't deserve to die.

07:45Now, to put this in an entire context of the entirety of Scripture,

07:51we just look at that one verse and it says,

07:53Do not kill.

07:54We would come to the conclusion and think that, well, maybe it's saying,

07:57Don't kill anyone or anything for any reason whatsoever.

08:01And this is the kind of thinking that has led to a lot of false doctrines,

08:06especially a lot of these pacifist doctrines.

08:09And it's just not true when it comes to the context of Scripture.

08:13And hopefully, we'll be able to show that to you tonight.

08:17And by the end of this teaching, hopefully, you're going to understand that it's okay

08:20to defend yourself, even in a lethal manner.

08:25If someone is trying to harm you or an innocent, someone you love, family, friend,

08:30or even just an innocent bystander, that you protect them by taking someone else's life,

08:36if it so comes to that, and it's only in extreme circumstances.

08:40But if that should arise, then it is justified according to Scripture.

08:46Because that would not be murder.

08:48Murder, however, is not justified according to Scripture.

08:51But, before we get off on a tangent, let's go back to this whole thing.

08:56When it comes to the entire context of Scripture,

09:00let's look at some of the things that Scripture actually tells us to do,

09:05whereas the Sixth Commandment is something that's telling us not to do.

09:09So, let's see if we can understand this a little bit better.

09:11We look back at Deuteronomy 25, verse 19.

09:16Therefore, it shall be when Yahweh your Elohim has given you rest from your enemies all around

09:21in the land which Yahweh your Elohim has given you to possess as an inheritance,

09:25that you blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.

09:29Do not forget.

09:32Now, this is where Yahweh is telling them that when they come into the Promised Land,

09:35that when they get there, don't forget to blot out Amalek.

09:40Okay, that's an idiom that we don't really use in English nowadays, especially here in America.

09:45We don't say we're going to go blot someone out.

09:49Maybe if you're in a mafia, but not really.

09:53Anyway, so what does this Hebrew idiom actually mean?

09:56Well, from this context, you can kind of start to get it, but to be more specific,

10:01to hit the nail more on the head, as it were,

10:03let's look at 1 Samuel 15, verse 3.

10:061 Samuel 15, verse 3.

10:10Now go, and you shall strike Amalek, and put under the ban all that he has,

10:15and you shall not spare them, and put to death from man to woman,

10:21from infant to nursing child, from ox to sheep, from camel to donkey.

10:26So now they're actually in the land, and they have a king.

10:29This is King Saul.

10:30And Yahweh is telling him to go and strike Amalek.

10:34And what does he mean by strike Amalek, or blot out the remembrance of Amalek?

10:39He's telling them to go and put to death everyone of the Amalekites.

10:45All the men, all the women, all the infants, all the nursing children,

10:52all the livestock from the ox to the sheep and camels and donkeys,

10:56to put them all to death.

10:59So this is a type of death that is ordered by Yahweh himself.

11:06So it's justified for them to go out and take the lives of these people and these animals,

11:13because Yahweh told them to do so.

11:16Now the Amalekites were not innocent.

11:19So this is not the taking of the life of an innocent person or an innocent people.

11:24This is taking of the life of someone who is guilty.

11:28The entire race of people, the Amalekites, were guilty.

11:33And Yahweh says, go kill them.

11:34Wipe them out.

11:36Of course, as we know, Saul didn't do it, and he kind of spared all the good stuff and tried to keep it for himself.

11:41But it didn't turn out well for him.

11:43He had the throne taken from him and given to Dawid.

11:46So we won't get into that, but you probably know the story.

11:50But anyways, the point is, we're told here that Yahweh commanded the killing of the Amalekites.

11:56So it was morally justified for them to go out and kill the Amalekites.

12:02Now this word, Ratzach, in Hebrew, that's used in the Sixth Commandment,

12:07It refers specifically to premeditated or unjust killing of the innocents.

12:13Not just the, I'm sorry, how do I put this?

12:17Not just the general killing.

12:19It's the premeditated death of innocent people.

12:24And it actually doesn't even refer to accidental death.

12:27This is something that is actually specifically spelled out in Scripture.

12:32There's a difference between intending to kill someone and accidentally killing someone.

12:38And there are different ways of handling each of those situations.

12:43For instance, we look at Exodus chapter 21, verses 12 through 14.

12:47He who strikes a man so that he dies shall certainly be put to death.

12:52But if he did not lie in wait, but Elohim delivered him into his hand,

12:56then I shall appoint for you a place where he is to flee.

12:59But when a man acts presumptuously against his neighbor to kill him by treachery,

13:04you are to take him even from my slaughter place to die.

13:08So here we can see a distinction that's being made in Scripture

13:11between someone who kills someone intentionally

13:15and someone who kills someone unintentionally.

13:18Difference between murder and manslaughter, as it were,

13:22kind of distinction we make nowadays.

13:24But we'll go on and we'll look at Numbers chapter 35, verses 16 through 25.

13:31But if he has stricken him with an instrument of iron so that he dies,

13:35he is a murderer.

13:37The murderer shall certainly be put to death.

13:40And if he has stricken him with a stone in the hand by which one could die,

13:44and he does die, he is a murderer.

13:47The murderer shall certainly be put to death.

13:49But if he pushes him suddenly without enmity,

13:53or throws an object at him without lying in wait,

13:56or uses a stone by which a man could die,

13:59throwing it at him without seeing him so that he dies,

14:03while he was not his enemy or seeking his harm,

14:06then the congregation shall judge between him who struck someone

14:09and the revenger of blood according to these right rulings.

14:14So again, they're making a distinction between premeditated and non-premeditated,

14:20accidental killing.

14:22Whereas the premeditated side of things,

14:25that kind of killing is regarded as a murder.

14:30You can see it right here in plain English,

14:33as it were in this translation anyways.

14:35But then they make the distinction between someone who accidentally kills someone,

14:38and they didn't actually mean to.

14:41The murderer, on one hand, is to be put to death,

14:44but the one who accidentally kills is to be brought before the congregation,

14:48and they're to judge accordingly, as it were.

14:52Like we said, we go back and we look at the distinction that the entirety,

14:57the entire context of Scripture makes.

15:00And there's a difference between killing in general,

15:03and murder, the taking of the life of innocent people.

15:07And I'm going to go ahead and say it from my stance,

15:13the way I see things is that all life is precious according to Yahweh,

15:17and that's because we are made in the image of Yahweh himself,

15:22or at least the first man was,

15:24and we're made in the image of those who came before us.

15:26So at least by descent and by linkage that way,

15:30we're made in the image of Yahweh.

15:33We look at Genesis 1, verses 26 through 27,

15:37And Elohim said,

15:39Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness,

15:42and let them rule over the fish of the sea,

15:44and over the birds of the heavens,

15:46and over the livestock, and over all the earth,

15:48and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the ground.

15:51And Elohim created the man in his image.

15:54In the image of Elohim, he created him.

15:58Male and female, he created them.

16:00And then also at Genesis 9, verse 6,

16:03Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood is shed.

16:07For in the image of Elohim, he has made man.

16:10So here we see the preciousness of life,

16:15and why humans are so prized above all else,

16:20all of the other creation,

16:22above animals, above birds, above fish, above everything,

16:26is because we were made,

16:28at least originally, if nothing else,

16:31were made in the image of Yahweh,

16:35or in the likeness,

16:36whatever you want to put it.

16:37But that's why human life is so precious.

16:42Now all life is contained in the blood,

16:45exactly, and we have blood,

16:46it's like animals have blood,

16:47but animals were not made in the image of Yahweh.

16:51We were.

16:53And this is something,

16:54and it extends more than just,

16:57well, how do I put this?

17:00This sixth commandment about do not murder

17:02extends more than just to adults,

17:06and grown people in wars,

17:10and the justice system,

17:11stuff like that.

17:12It also extends on down

17:14to the unborn child, even.

17:19And we'll look at that,

17:21just so you have it in front of you.

17:23This really hits home

17:24when it comes to the issue of abortion.

17:27We look at Exodus chapter 21,

17:29verses 22 through 25.

17:32And when men strive,

17:34and they shall smite a pregnant woman,

17:37and her children come out,

17:39yet there is no injury,

17:40they shall certainly be punished accordingly,

17:42as the woman's husband lays upon him.

17:45And he shall give through the judges.

17:48But if there is injury,

17:49then you shall give life for life,

17:51eye for eye,

17:52tooth for tooth,

17:52hand for hand,

17:53foot for foot,

17:54burn for burn,

17:55wound for wound,

17:56lash for lash.

17:59So here,

18:00if two men are fighting

18:01and struggling with each other,

18:03and there's a pregnant woman there,

18:05and the pregnant woman gets hit,

18:07and there's no damage to her

18:09or the child,

18:10whatnot,

18:11then the woman's husband

18:12will determine the fine,

18:14and they'll pay the fine,

18:16and that'll be it.

18:18But,

18:19if they're striving and fighting

18:20against each other,

18:21her child that she's pregnant with

18:26is miscarried,

18:29and she had,

18:30the child dies,

18:32well,

18:32that is precious life,

18:34and it should be given life for life,

18:36as it says here.

18:37Life for life,

18:37eye for eye,

18:38et cetera,

18:38et cetera.

18:39So,

18:40even the unborn child

18:42is considered

18:43murdered at that point,

18:45because his life

18:47was taken from him.

18:49And we actually have

18:50an entire episode

18:51on the issue of abortion

18:52if you want to go back

18:54in the on-demand archives

18:55and check that out.

18:56But this sixth command

18:58to do not murder

18:59extends all the way

19:00to the unborn,

19:01and it even goes up

19:03into the young child's life,

19:07the,

19:07how do you say,

19:09infant or toddler,

19:11that kind of age

19:12right there, too.

19:13So,

19:14it's not just

19:14the unborn children,

19:15it's not just

19:16grown humans,

19:17but also

19:18the in-between.

19:20We see various things

19:21throughout Scripture

19:22like people

19:22sacrificing their children,

19:24these are young children,

19:25by the way,

19:27sacrificing their children

19:28to these false gods

19:30like Molech.

19:31We look in,

19:32I'm sorry,

19:33Leviticus chapter 18,

19:34verse 21,

19:35and do not give

19:36any of your offspring

19:37to pass through to Molech,

19:40and do not profane

19:40the name of your Elohim.

19:43I am Yahweh.

19:45And then,

19:45Leviticus chapter 20,

19:46verses 2 through 3,

19:47say to the children

19:50of Israel,

19:51any man of the children

19:52of Israel,

19:53or the strangers

19:54who sojourn in Israel,

19:55who gives any of his

19:56offsprings to Molech,

19:58shall certainly be put

19:59to death.

20:00The people of the land

20:01shall stone him

20:02with stones,

20:03and I shall set my face

20:04against that man,

20:06and shall cut him off

20:07from the midst

20:07of his people,

20:08because he has given

20:09of his offspring

20:10to Molech,

20:12so as to defile

20:13my set-apart place,

20:14and to profane

20:15my set-apart name.

20:17And finally tonight,

20:18we're going to look at

20:18Deuteronomy chapter 18,

20:20verse 10.

20:20Let no one be found

20:23among you

20:24who makes his son

20:25or his daughter

20:26pass through the fire

20:27or one who practices

20:28divination

20:29or a user of magic

20:30or one who interprets

20:32omens

20:32or a sorcerer.

20:34So you probably

20:34already know this,

20:35that back in those times

20:37there were people

20:38who would

20:38sacrifice

20:40children.

20:41Horror of horrors.

20:42They would actually

20:43sacrifice

20:43their children

20:44to this false

20:45god,

20:46Molech.

20:48Unfortunately,

20:49people are sacrificing

20:50children even today.

20:52They're sacrificed

20:52to the god

20:54of themselves

20:54when they go

20:55and have an abortion.

20:57But here,

20:57these young children

20:58that these people

20:59are sacrificing

20:59to Molech

21:00is considered

21:02murder

21:02because people

21:04who do this,

21:04it says they shall

21:05be stoned

21:06with stones.

21:07They shall be killed

21:08for making their children

21:10or sacrificing

21:11their children

21:12to Molech.

21:13So this command,

21:15this sixth command,

21:16doesn't just apply

21:17to adults.

21:19It doesn't just apply

21:20to the unborn

21:21but also applies

21:22to young children

21:24and to toddlers

21:25to all ages,

21:28all different levels

21:29of the process

21:33of human life.

21:34This do not murder

21:35goes throughout

21:37all stages of life,

21:38not just adult.

21:40And the origination

21:42of murder itself

21:44goes on

21:45or it comes from

21:47not just the action

21:48but from what we think

21:50of in our hearts

21:52and our inner beings.

21:53And this is something

21:54that Yeshua explains

21:55and expounds on

21:56in the Brit Hadashah.

21:58We look at Matthew

21:59chapter 5

22:00verses 21 through 22.

22:02This is Yeshua speaking.

22:05Quote,

22:06You heard that it was said

22:07to those of old,

22:08you shall not murder.

22:10And whoever murders

22:11shall be liable

22:11to judgment.

22:13But I say to you

22:14that whoever is wroth

22:15with his brother

22:15without a cause

22:17shall be liable

22:18to judgment.

22:19And whoever says

22:19to his brother,

22:20Raka,

22:21shall be liable

22:22to the Sanhedrin.

22:23But whoever says,

22:24You fool,

22:25shall be liable

22:26to the fire of Gehenna.

22:28And then going on

22:29to Matthew chapter 15

22:30verse 19.

22:32For out of the heart

22:33come forth wicked reasonings,

22:35murderers,

22:36adulteries,

22:36whorings,

22:37thefts,

22:38false witnessings,

22:39and slanders.

22:40So Yeshua is saying here,

22:42not,

22:43he starts out by saying,

22:44You've heard it said,

22:45you shall not murder.

22:46And then he goes on

22:47to explain more in detail.

22:50So he's not

22:51drawing a contradiction here

22:52and saying,

22:53Well,

22:53it used to say,

22:54do not murder,

22:55but now you don't have

22:55to worry about all that

22:56because that whole law

22:57thing's been done away with.

22:59No,

22:59he's not saying that.

23:00He's saying,

23:01You have heard it said,

23:03you shall not murder.

23:03Well,

23:04here is a more expounded,

23:07more in-depth teaching

23:08on what that actually means.

23:10And he says here

23:11in Matthew chapter 15

23:12that such things like

23:14murder and adulteries,

23:16remember those two

23:17because we'll get into those

23:18here in just a minute.

23:20But he says that such things

23:21like murders and adulteries

23:23and et cetera,

23:23et cetera,

23:24come from the heart.

23:26It's first conceived

23:28and grows in the thoughts

23:31and in the emotions

23:32of our heart.

23:33And then it comes forth

23:35out of us

23:35through our actions,

23:36through what we do,

23:37what we say

23:38a lot of times.

23:40And that's what,

23:43that's the fruition,

23:44the fruits of our

23:46innermost feelings

23:47and thoughts.

23:48But originally it comes

23:49from the heart,

23:50like Yeshua said.

23:52Even in 1 John,

23:53they go on to continue

23:54this same thought process

23:55from Yeshua.

23:56In 1 John chapter 3,

23:58verse 15,

23:58everyone hating his brother

24:01is a murderer

24:02and you know that

24:03no murderer has

24:04everlasting life

24:05staying in him.

24:08Now,

24:09grievous,

24:10absolutely horrid,

24:12grievous sins

24:13like murder

24:14and adultery,

24:16it all called

24:17for the death penalty.

24:20And 1 John,

24:21it says those who

24:22are murderers

24:23have no everlasting life

24:25staying in them.

24:26So does that mean

24:27there's no hope

24:28for a murderer

24:29or an adulterer

24:30or things like that?

24:31No,

24:32it does not

24:33because we look

24:34at various examples

24:35throughout scripture

24:36and we see that

24:37there is even hope

24:38for murderers

24:40and adulterers

24:42and things like that.

24:43We look at Exodus

24:44chapter 2,

24:45verses 11 through 12.

24:47And in those days

24:48it came to be

24:49when Moshe was grown

24:50that he went out

24:51to his brothers

24:51and looked at their burdens

24:53and he saw a Mitrian

24:54striking a Hebrew,

24:56one of his brothers.

24:56So he turned

24:58this way

24:58and that way

24:59and when he saw

25:00no one

25:01he struck the Mitrian

25:02and hit him

25:03in the sand.

25:05So here Moses,

25:06before he leaves Egypt

25:07the first time,

25:09Moses kills

25:10an Egyptian.

25:11He is a

25:12murderer.

25:16Maybe you disagree.

25:17If you do,

25:17let us know down

25:18in the comments.

25:19But just

25:20beating another man

25:21is not really

25:22cause

25:23for death.

25:25But

25:25Moses

25:26in this particular

25:28instance

25:29did go ahead

25:30and kill

25:30that Egyptian

25:31for striking

25:32one of his

25:33Hebrew brethren.

25:34We look at

25:352 Samuel

25:36chapter 12

25:37verse 9.

25:38Why have you

25:39despised the word

25:40of Yahweh

25:41to do evil

25:41in his eyes?

25:43You have struck

25:43Uriah the Hittite

25:44with the sword

25:45and his wife

25:46you took

25:46to be your wife

25:47and you have

25:48killed him

25:48with the sword

25:49of the children

25:50of Ammon.

25:51So here

25:52the prophet

25:52Nathan

25:53is coming

25:53to King

25:55Dawid

25:55and he's

25:56telling him

25:56his sins

25:57because Dawid

25:58tried to hide it.

25:59He

26:00committed adultery

26:02with Bathsheba

26:03and when she

26:05got pregnant

26:05with his child

26:06he

26:07tried this

26:08whole scheme

26:09to make it

26:09look like

26:10Uriah's

26:11but that didn't

26:12work

26:12so he

26:13eventually

26:14murdered

26:15Uriah

26:16in a roundabout

26:17way but

26:17it was Dawid

26:18who murdered

26:19Uriah

26:20so Dawid

26:21was both

26:21a murderer

26:23and an adulterer

26:25so keep that

26:26in mind

26:26then we look

26:27at Acts

26:28chapter 9

26:28verses 1

26:29through 2

26:29but Shaul

26:31still breathing

26:32threats and murder

26:33against the

26:33taught ones

26:34of the master

26:34having come

26:35to the high

26:36priest

26:36asked from him

26:37letters to the

26:37congregations

26:38of Damascus

26:39so that he

26:41found any

26:42who were

26:43of the way

26:44whether men

26:45or women

26:45to bring them

26:46bound to

26:47Yerushalayim

26:48so here

26:50there is a

26:51Pharisee

26:52named Paul

26:52or Shaul

26:54and he is

26:55persecuting

26:56Christians

26:57or Messianics

26:58or however you

26:59want to put it

26:59he's persecuting

27:01them even to

27:01the point

27:02of death

27:03he was killing

27:04them

27:04you remember

27:05the first

27:05martyr

27:06Stephen

27:07Paul was

27:08actually there

27:09at that stoning

27:10because this was

27:11during his time

27:12of persecution

27:13of Messianics

27:14or Christians

27:15so Paul

27:16was a

27:17murderer

27:18now what's

27:19something that

27:19all three of

27:20these have

27:21in common

27:21here that

27:21we just

27:22looked at

27:22here

27:23Moses

27:24Dawid

27:25and Paul

27:26were all

27:28murderers

27:29Dawid was

27:29even an

27:30adulterer

27:31on top of

27:31that

27:31they were

27:32all murderers

27:33and they

27:33had hope

27:34Moses

27:36before he

27:37was called

27:37by Yahweh

27:38and even

27:39Paul

27:39before he

27:40was called

27:40by Yahweh

27:41were murderers

27:42and Yahweh

27:43still called

27:44them

27:45and redeemed

27:46them

27:46Dawid

27:47repented

27:48after Nathan

27:49came to him

27:50and exposed

27:50his sin

27:51Dawid repented

27:52of his sins

27:53of his murder

27:54and of his

27:55adultery

27:56and he was

27:58forgiven

27:58and used

28:00by Yahweh

28:01so even

28:02when someone

28:03commits

28:03these heinous

28:05and grievous

28:06sins

28:07like murder

28:08or adultery

28:09there's still

28:11hope

28:12if you

28:13have done

28:14something

28:15as horrendous

28:16as commit

28:17murder

28:17or if you

28:18have done

28:18something

28:19horrendous

28:19such as

28:20commit

28:20adultery

29:00hope for

29:01you even

29:02for grievous

29:03sins such

29:04as murder

29:05and adultery

29:06so in

29:09summary

29:09the commandment

29:12the sixth

29:13commandment

29:14is thou

29:14shalt not

29:15kill

29:15but as we

29:16learned tonight

29:17there is a

29:18difference between

29:18general killing

29:19and murdering

29:21so more

29:21accurately

29:22the command

29:23is do

29:24not

29:25murder

29:25and like we

29:27said the

29:28most accurate

29:28translation that

29:29we have seen

29:30as we put

29:31together all

29:32the original

29:33Hebrew words

29:34and the

29:35context of

29:35scripture and

29:36the various

29:36examples that

29:37we went

29:37over

29:37the most

29:38accurate

29:38translation is

29:39do not

29:39murder

29:40instead of

29:40do not

29:41kill

29:42strong's

29:44H7523

29:46Ratsak

29:47means murder

29:48slay

29:48dash in

29:49pieces

29:49put to

29:49death

29:49something like

29:50that

29:50scripture

29:52distinguishes

29:53between

29:54killing and

29:55murdering

29:56and just

29:57as a quick

29:58reminder

29:58killing is

30:00the taking

30:01of life

30:02and

30:03in all

30:04forms

30:04but murdering

30:05is the

30:06taking of

30:06innocent

30:07life

30:08premeditated

30:09generally

30:10but the

30:10taking of

30:11innocent life

30:12the unjustified

30:13taking of

30:14life

30:14human life

30:16is precious

30:17because we

30:18are created

30:19in the image

30:19of Yahweh

30:20I know there's

30:21some dissension

30:22or disagreement

30:22on that

30:23whether we

30:24nowadays are

30:25or if it was

30:25just Adam

30:26that's fine

30:27even the

30:28original

30:29humans

30:31were created

30:31in the image

30:32of Yahweh

30:32and then

30:33each of their

30:34descendants

30:34were in

30:34their image

30:35so on and

30:35so forth

30:36so in a

30:37roundabout way

30:38we're still

30:38made in the

30:39image of

30:39Yahweh

30:40and that's

30:41why human

30:42life is

30:42precious

30:43and why we

30:44are above

30:45and different

30:46and set apart

30:47from all the

30:48other creatures

30:49such as

30:49animals

30:50plants

30:50etc

30:51the sixth

30:52commandment

30:53and scripture

30:53in general

30:54forbids the

30:55taking of

30:56innocent life

30:57in other words

30:58murder

30:59and this is

31:01the taking

31:01of innocent

31:02life

31:02the murder

31:03murdering

31:04of innocents

31:05like young

31:06children

31:07being sacrificed

31:08to false

31:09gods

31:09young children

31:10being sacrificed

31:12to the god

31:13of self

31:13nowadays

31:14through things

31:15like abortion

31:16and other

31:18various forms

31:18of killing

31:19Yeshua

31:21as we saw

31:22in the

31:22Brit Hadashah

31:23actually expounds

31:24on the sixth

31:25commandment

31:26teaching how

31:27such things

31:27as murder

31:28and adultery

31:29etc

31:30these things

31:31come out

31:31of the heart

31:32that's where

31:32they originate

31:33from

31:34and there is

31:36hope

31:36as we saw

31:37from various

31:38examples

31:38Moses

31:39Dawid

31:40the apostle

31:40Paul

31:41etc

31:42there's hope

31:43even for

31:43people who

31:44have committed

31:44such grievous

31:45sins

31:46like adultery

31:47and murder
