Messiah in Life

The Ten Commandments Part 6

Justin D. Elwell, Th.D. Season 4 Episode 19

Two little words in Hebrew can and have been greatly misunderstood. How do we understand this, the sixth commandment? Is it a prohibition about killing or murder? Is there any spiritual or interior meaning to this command that will help restrain an attitude that could lead to violent action against the human other? Give a listen.
