What about the OT/NT split in this area? I don't see the NT as particularly
condoning violence, anything but, even though violence has been committed in
its name. But the same, of course, goes for the Koran.
This is mostly irrelevant, but it's been in my mind.
The KJV translation of the 6th commandment runs, "Thou shalt not kill."
How does it run in the original Hebrew? I've always wondered if the
original meant something more like "Thou shalt not commit murder."
I suppose I could chase it for myself, but it's simpler to ask you, Mark.
