Thou shalt not kill.
Many people say that this is the easiest commandment to follow, because it's already illegal to murder people right?
On the contrary, in many cases and in many places it is perfectly legal to kill people.
For example, capital punishment here in the USA as well as honor killings (such as those related to gang violence or Islam).
In certain countries. Euthanasia, suicide and assisted suicide are perfectly legal. For instance, here in the USA, assisted suicide is legal in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Montana. This wicked act puts a price on life in terms of suffering, and instead of offering relief, offers permanent destruction of life.
Perhaps the most deceptive of all mercy-killings is abortion. In an attempt to be "merciful" to the mother to whom a baby would be a burden physicians remove the life from the womb. It is deceptive because of the hidden nature of the act. It takes place right under our noses in clinics all across the world. In addition to that, the propaganda paid for by the abortion providers numbs unlearned listeners and readers of their natural detest for this unnatural and immoral act. That propaganda paints abortion as the only option for pregnant women who are surprised by a pregnancy that they did not "intend" to have, even though they themselves participated act of sexual relations with all its fecundity. However, giving birth to a child that depends on you is the correct option! Here in our society we are blessed with many programs to make an adoption process easier for you if the child should be in danger in your hands.
So, "thou shalt not kill" is a a more difficult commandment than we all thought, because it happens right under our noses. We need to pray, and speak out against these evils so that we may not share in the blame for those horrid acts come judgement day. So that when the Lord asks you what you did to help those who depend on you the most in matters of life or death you can be prepared with an answer, do something today to defend life itself, the most beautiful gift that GOD has given to all of us!
