'Christians' mould the ten commandments and anything else they want in the Bible to suit their own wishes.EG... Evangelicals now trying to reconfigure "Thou shalt not kill" to "Thou shalt not murder"... Because it gives them wriggle room to justify killings they approve of.
“Thou shalt not murder” is closer to it’s original intended meaning.
'Young woman' closer to description of Mary, not 'virgin'.
People take which version suits their own wishes the most.
Go out in any street and ask people to complete the sentence 'Thou shalt not...?' I guarantee you nearly everyone will say kill, not murder.
