S03E14: The 6th Commandment: Abortion, Euthanasia, and the Heart of Murder

In this solo episode, Blake continues The Chorus in the Chaos series on the Ten Commandments with an in-depth look at the Sixth Commandment: “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). While seemingly straightforward, this command carries deep theological and cultural implications.

Blake explores:

• The biblical definition of murder vs. killing

• Why human life is sacred—rooted in the Imago Dei

• Scriptural contexts for justified killing: self-defense, war, and capital punishment

• How anger, jealousy, and hatred are precursors to murder

• The broader implications for issues like abortion, euthanasia, and suicide

• The Christian duty to not only to avoid murder but actively preserve life

• Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 on heart sins and loving our enemies
