DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: BAPTIST CATECHISM 72-74

  • What is the sixth commandment?
  • Some English translations say “kill” while others say “murder”. How can each of these words be misunderstood?
  • What is it about human nature that makes the unjust taking of human life so wrong? 
  • What does the sixth commandment require and forbid?
  • What does it mean to seek to preserve your own life?
  • What does it mean to seek to preserve the life of others?
  • How can both of these principles be misused and abused by individuals and even governments?
  • How does the sixth commandment apply to the issue of abortion?
  • What do we need if we are to apply this law in a way that truly honors God and man? I’m thinking of a word that starts with a “W”.
