That is a mistranslation.
The verse meant thou shalt not murder (not kill).
The people are being killed yes; but they ren;t being murdered. The person being killed was sentenced to death because of crimes s/he did.

"Actually if you look at the Greek that the Bible was translated to from the Ancient Hebrew that Commandment translates much more accurately to Thou shall not Murder." Bit of a mistranslation in the King James version

The law was given to bring us to Christ. To show us that none of us can keep it. We have all killed in so much that hatred to God is the same as murder. We are all just as guilty. Trusting Christ is the only way for an executioner or a sunday school teacher to be saved.

John 3:16. Also, that is little different than military killing, police killing, etc. You are saved by grace, and Christ paid the debt for your sin, if these actions ARE, in fact, sin, which I don't believe them to be. This falls under render what is Caesar's to Caesar, I think.

Hopefully he'll go easy on old Jack Ketch, without a good education, you usually get stuck in a shitty job. Kind of a "dead-end" career, don't you think?
