Here's a fun commandment: You shall not kill.
"Wait!" some of you just said. "It says not to MURDER. It's fine for me to kill people if I use a government to do it. Or if it happens in war. Or if by killing someone I can save someone else from death or mental scars or a bad afternoon at the supermarket. Right?"
Is that right? Or is there some logic being missed or some ideal being ignored here? And is there a list of exceptions to the rules God laid out for his people to follow?
We'll talk through some of this today. I hope you'll join us.
