Fiveamprayer, we can see from our study of the commandments of the Lord God Almighty that they   show His love, wisdom and blessings.  Some times this commandment is stated, thou shall not kill.  Upon further study of the original language we find that it actually pointing to murder.  There were instances when kill does not actually mean murder.  For example those who trespassed with major crimes, there was a death penalty.  There was also accidental death and the removal of pagan nations in Canaan for their wickedness, two more examples of kill that are not necessarily murder.  Because man is made in the image and likeness of Adonai, this creation of His, is more important.  We are the only creation on the Earth given the ability to reason and think.  We were even charged in the garden of Eden--Genesis 1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  That is why murder is a trespass against Elohim.  What He created and purposed, here on the Earth.  This is what Jesus Christ of Nazareth is teaching about regarding harboring hate and anger, that is actually harboring the spirit of murder.  We have to realize, first we think and then we do.  To hear more of this click here.
