I looked the commandments up on the web.  It's interesting that
something so basic to the faith seems to be translated different ways.  
Case in point.

From http://mtsinai.com/

*V. Thou Shalt Not Kill.

>From http://www.10-commandments.org/

*SIX: '/You shall not murder./'

To me, those 2 translations are very different.  Couldn't you then
extrapolate that most other parts of the bible really depend on how the
translator thought it should read?
