the commandment is thou shall not Kill... not murder. if it were murder it obviously would be subjective, as the only people that fit into the term "murder" were Jews. Gentiles were excluded from the term as they were not "people" (notably "people of God"). Ironically this is how MANY Jews took it. Ironically this is how MANY christians took it.
"The Bible is NOT OPEN to personal INTERPRETATION. "
Now that's a silly idea. Then whose interpretation is it open to? Do we have to take it literally> see dogs and pigs...
Execution by the group for a crime is not right unless that crime is killing, this goes back to the whole tooth for a tooth. Treason should never have been a capitol crime if you listened to Norse Mythos, it was simply a tooth for a tooth for them too. But it(OT/NT) GOT CHANGED by PERSONAL INTERPRETATIONS.
-only apply to Jews- is how they took the commandments. That is why Murder was not Murder if it was a Gentile that was killed (see West Bank/Isreal for current proof of this).
-Eden- is an annectdote on Genesis. Perhaps short, but to the point that man did not know what the heck the devil was trying to get him to do, nor wether it was good or bad. We are still punished due to our ignorance.
I pray to God. Usually the Father(Yaweh, Jehovah, Elonim, Adoni), Son(Jesus Christ, my savior) and Holy Spirit(a really fiery bird from way back)... but occasionally mention only one of His names.
