THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0158
What does it really mean to obey the command, “Do not murder”? In this powerful episode of Under God, we explore the deeper implications behind the sixth commandment—far beyond physical violence. From abortion and euthanasia to anger, hate, and dehumanization, we confront the ways culture distorts the value of life and challenge listeners to reclaim a biblical ethic that honors the image of God in every person.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ The cultural minimization of murder and life.
✔️ The deeper biblical implications of the sixth commandment.
✔️ How hate, anger, and dehumanization violate the spirit of this command.
✔️ Why valuing human life begins with honoring the image of God in others.
✔️ What it means to be people of life in a culture of death.
