Question 134. What is the sixth commandment?

Answer. The sixth commandment is, “You shall not kill.”

John 7:19-20 “Did not Moses give you the law? None of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” The crowd answered him, “You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?” The Jews judged Jesus based on the law and accused him of blasphemy.

Matthew 26:64-65 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy. Why then do we need any further witnesses? Look, you have now heard the blasphemy.” The Jews put Jesus to death for blasphemy, but God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross as a substitute for all mankind who oppose Him.

Therefore, from the Jewish perspective, murder means breaking the law's provision to preserve life, so the priest puts to death the one who breaks the law. Exodus 21:12 "Anyone who kills a person shall surely be put to death."

However, from God's perspective, those who crucified Jesus were murderers. God was letting the Jews know through the death on the cross that they were all murderers. They were all like Cain. However, God would consider those who repent and enter into Jesus Christ as having been executed together with the living stone, Jesus Christ. The meaning of being stoned to death means that those who died with Jesus on the cross also died on the cross.

Those who demand the blood of Jesus every day in today's church community are crucifying and killing Jesus every day because they do not believe in what Jesus has accomplished, and therefore they need the blood of Jesus every day.

The first murderer in the world is known as Cain. Cain symbolizes the one who crucified Jesus, and Abel symbolizes Jesus Christ. Today, those who do not fully believe in the word of God and live according to their own thoughts are like Cain, killing Abel (Jesus Christ).

Commentary on Christian Doctrine (Westminster Confession of Faith Larger Catechism)

  Commentary on Christian Doctrine (Westminster Confession of Faith Larger Catechism)   There are many denominations in Christianity, and each denomination has its own doctrines, and there are parts that are interpreted and defined differently. The reason why they set their own doctrines and make themselves exclusive denominations is that Christianity has become a religion. This is because they focus on how Christianity is different from other religions. However, Christianity is not a religion, but life itself toward God. People simply left God and created their own religion. This is what happened because the Christian community tried to differentiate itself from other religions. Originally, Christianity had no doctrine, but if there were to be a doctrine, it would only have two words: the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and the resurrection. In addition, if necessary, it would be helpful to have a commentary that interprets the meaning of the Bible for important pa...

Question 99. What rules must we observe in order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly?

  Question 99. What rules must we observe in order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly? Answer. In order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly, the following rules must be observed: 1. The law is perfect, and requires that every one follow its righteousness fully and for ever, and that he should thoroughly and completely fulfill all his duties, and forbid any sin, even the least. 2. The law is spiritual, and covers not only words, actions, and manners, but also the understanding, will, affections, and all other parts of the soul. 3. The same things in various respects are commanded or forbidden in several commandments. 4. Where a duty is commanded, the opposite sin is also forbidden, and where a sin is forbidden, the opposite duty is commanded, and where a promise is added, the opposite threatening is included, and where a threatening is added, the opposite promise is included. 5. What God forbids is not always to be done, but what he commands is always ou...

Question 3. What is the Word of God?

  Question 3. What is the Word of God? Answer. The Old and New Testaments are the Word of God and the only rule of faith and practice. According to the law of faith, the word of God can be found in the two main branches of the law and the gospel. The law can be said to be a commandment of action, “ Do or do not do, ” but the word of the law is a word that makes people realize that they are beings who cannot completely keep God ’ s commandments and to find Christ, and the gospel is that Christ has come, and if you enter into Christ, you will be saved. Therefore, the word of God can be said to be the law of faith that leads to salvation. However, if we look at it based on the only law of works, the law can be transformed into legalism. Because legalism emphasizes works, the gospel can be separate from works. If you enter into the faith of Jesus Christ, you will be saved, but it attaches a condition that works must follow. Attaching this condition is legalism. James 2:14-17 W...
