Did I interject or is that not what "thou shall not kill" means? Its implicit that it means "not at all" especially when your mind then goes to "turn the other cheek". He definitely suggested it if you remember the questions regarding taking out hitlers mother. I agree it was very interesting especially because of what I do. I dont think it is wrong to be well versed in the human mind at all. I think it is a great plus for anyone with honorable intentions. However, he used it to try and steer people to a conclusion he wanted for political purposes. To use the element of religion was unsavory. That to me was not an honorable use of the skill nor in the long run will it be effective. Most if not all are going to find a justification to keep their original opinions.
Of course you agree that we are smart enough to know what
"thou shall not kill" means in the fullness of it's definition right, as it was written with lead way of course, and this we also learn if one reads on in the Bible about the stipulations or rules of engagement that are involved if having to do the opposite of what the written commandment said or as it had been spoken to us upon that stone in which was carved out so many centuries ago. It all goes along within the context in which it was spoken to us upon when it was written, in so that we all know what its full meaning is of course, yet only after a complete study is done on it's complete meaning do we truly understand what it's complete meaning is that is found within the contextual sense of the phrase as we should all learn it to be, and should know it to be in the contextual sense that it is to be applied after reading further on in the book in order to understand it all as such in this way.
Now if you read this of course to mean "thou shalt not kill" anything, if your life or your families life and/or if human life in general is not in danger of being killed or threatened at all to be killed in and of itself, then you are right, because these things that were written are based upon that fact or context in which it is applied in this way, but of course it all comes with the footnotes in which one has to read on in debt in order to know what the stipulations and/or the rules of engagement are beyond the commandment as was written, and this study is necessary if having to apply the opposite of what the commandment says to some within the literal sense they see it in, in which they try and hold it to without waver in which it was written upon that stone/talent for us within their understanding of it as to abide by in the literal sense, but without the educational sense in which it has with it upon further study of the commandment they fail in this thinking, and therefore it had commanded us of course to not kill if at all possible, but in some cases if we must kill, then the rules must be applied in which the Bibles reads to us also, and this in such cases that we might find ourselves involved in, and yet hopefully never will we be involved in that moves us beyond what the commandment speaks to us in the literal sense, and if we do have to go beyond it, then we must abide by the rules in which are laid out in many areas of the Bible, and is attached to the many stories and instances where such a rule was changed temporarily when it had to be, and all because of the evil in which abides by no rules at all that of course gives us the lead way in which is written also about in the text, and that leads us out of the of the path of pure evil taken us out, instead of us protecting ourselves as it should be, and in which God had given us the written authority to do if we so have to in special circumstances and cases in which may rise up against us.
Violating the commandments with no good reason, thus making us murderous and sinful in the act of killing ,has a fine line in which we are to abide by once understanding this sort of thing as is read.
The act of turning the cheek as it is spoken about, has many parable meanings in life, but if an act against you is meant to take your life, then self defense as is allowed, as is also found within the Bible, and it should be adequately applied by the understanding of the rules of engagement that is laid out for you also in the Bible.
