When I was growing up, I always hear it as "Thou shall not kill". I was Mormon, and so this was out of the King James Bible in the 1980's. My wife was raised Catholic, and she told me it was the same from the Bible they used.
Ever watch "The Ten Commandments"? It was also made in the 1980's. (I think, perhaps earlier). This will prove my point that it was "Thou shall not KILL".
I pointed out that God says not to kill, and yet he also says to slay your own brother and live by the sword. I was "corrected" by many people who said, "It say thou shall not MURDER".
When did people decide to change this little discrepancy? Either the mainstream Bibles were changed, or these people were quoting some watered-down, NEW version of the Bible, obviously changing verses as they saw fit... I thought God's word did not change?
I will ask this question again tomorrow morning when all the diehard Bible-thumpers are on.
The excuses should be amusing.
