I haven't posted on this thread before, but there are a couple of inacccuricies that I'd like to clear up. St. Mary was NOT St. Joseph's wife when she became pregnant with Jesus, she was merely his fiance. He was going to "put her away," ie., call the ceremony off when an angel told him of the miracle. And, the Commandment did not say, "Thou shalt not kill" in the original Hebrew, but, "Thou shall do no murder." which is an entirely different kettle of fish. There is nowhere in the Bible where God rebukes killing in battle, for instance, just as killing. Also, executions were not condemned, though Jesus saved the woman taken in adultery from death by stoning. Good post, Cerek, BTW.
