actually people pulled that 'translation' out of their behind. are you a scholar of ancient hebrew and sanskrit? i didnt think so.
its "not kill", by most people's translation

But it means "do not murder" in Hebrew
Oh and I do know modern and ancient hebrew [/b][/quote]
Thank you for the explenation, but that still doesn't help, because we're talking about the bible now. And what Jeses (if he ever lived - it's not proven yet!) did was this: He made a new interpretation of the Jewish teachings. So christianity - the folowers of Christ - in this case Jesus should listen to his words - not to the commandments writen before him. Jesus was the one who told them how to interprid the commandments, so to understan them differently would drive them a part from Jesus.
So to a christian it shouldn't matter what the original says, just as it shouldn't matter to Jews how Jesus translated it.
There is however another law - the constitution (of every single country - they have them you know - it's not just the US) - that gives everybody the right to live. Not to mention numerous international agreements that call for unity of the world and global peace...
