The Fifth Commandment of God is THOU SHALT NOT KILL. God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai after the Israelites were released from captivity and slavery in Egypt. God had just shown His might in the parting of the Red Sea, the single greatest miracle in the history of planet Earth. Evidence of this miracle was in a deep channel through the Red Sea where the remains of the Egyptians’ chariots were found, and reported in the New York Times, as well as other reputable news outlets.
Soon after the God’s greatest miracle, God called
Moses to Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments. This Covenant between God and people is
recorded in the Bible in Exodus and Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments are the foundation of the moral
code, and the basis of the legal system of justice for western civilization. When Mahatma Ghandi was asked what he thought
of western civilization, he said it would be a good idea. The distance western civilization has moved
from its original purpose can be seen most clearly in its total disregard for
the fifth commandment: ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’.
Literally billions of innocent defenseless animals are
killed annually to satisfy the taste of human carnivores. They are tortured and murdered for the use of
their skin, fur, and wool for human clothing.
Non-human individuals experience horrendous acts of torture and murder
for ‘tests’, and ‘entertainment’.
Nowhere does it state that the Ten Commandments apply
only to the human species. Disregard for
the welfare of all species causes zoonotic pandemics, climate change,
pollution, hunger, human mortality and morbidity, and could be reduced or
eliminated by simply following the Fifth Commandment –“Thou Shalt Not Kill”! Go Vegan!
