“Thou Shalt Not Kill”
Sir, —The Bishop’s answer to “E. 8. brings' to mind Mark Twain’s. He said, “It is easy to stop smoking—l have stopped hundreds of times.”. But if resolutions are not put into practice they are useless. Yours, etc., RATIONALIST. April 30, 1957. Sir, —Replying to “E. 8. the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” contradicts Matthew, chapter 10, verse 34: “Think not that
I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword.” This logically suggests that the Biblical Jesus Christ adopts a neutral attitude as coverage in warfare.—Yours, etc., HUMBLE HARRY. April 30, 1957.
