Is it anti Semitic to study history
13 years ago
General
So was looking at one of the crosses in our house and i decided to look up crusifiction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusification
This got me thinking
If a man were to post "the Jewish leaders condemn men to death by crusifiction because one is a thief and another is a blasphemer of God and you ask 'This is how you upload the Laws of Moses, the Ten Commandments.'"
NOW let's just, for the purposes of discussion, assume they were 100% right, Jesus was a blasphemer and not the Son of God, how do you just justify breaking the 5th commandment "thou shalt not kill"?
I just don't get it.
I mean assuming everything that said is 100% true how does one go from Moses saying "invite the gentile (no jews) into thy house as long as they respect God
s laws and the laws of man" to "kill him for being not a jew (a gentile?)!" even though Jesus was a practicing preacher and thus reconized as a jew?
I dunno I just don't get it.

The important detail is that the commandment _isn't_ "thou shalt not kill", it's "thou shalt not murder." Killing was perfectly fine, so long as it wasn't a murder. The three main non-murder killings are war, self defense and a legally applied death penalty.
Of course, you can still find the contradiction you point to here in other parts of the Bible. Including ones where there is a divine command to do something that is unquestionably murder.
