All agree that the moral law contained in the decalogue is a binding and eternal code upon all men, nations and tongues. The sabbath, murder, adultery are all included in it. However, when we then get to the case law, we find the death penalty for all three offenses, men tend to get upset, though, upon affirming this penalty for the sabbath or adultery, yet they don't for murder. Why is that?
