The Sixth Matter- “Kill?”
Exodus 20:13

In part six of our series on Ten Matters That Still Matter to God we encounter an interesting translation issue concerning the word “kill.” When God declared the sixth matter He didn’t say what many people probably have assumed. In this installment of Scripture Bytes Keith clarifies this important matter.

Hello there Keith,
If the idea is that murder relates to a premeditated action to kill, when Yeshua spoke in John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” was he also referring to the serpent that beguiled Eve as he did it with the premeditated gesture to kill?
or am I way of the logic here?

Shalom Keith … 🙂
Another great teaching … and kept thinking of this verse in Matthew:
“You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment. But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gehenna. ”
{Matthew 5:22-23 … coming from what appears to be the only recorded sermon our Messiah ever gave in chapters 5-7 … DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT … because thoughts if meditated on too long become actions!}
Blessings my friend!!!
