So that is what you think his logic is leading to then? | I think his logic is inconsistent. That is what I was leading to. He can break one law, disobeying leaders and hiding Jews, to, knowingly deceiving a Nazi soldier is breaking the ninth commandment. But he will justify breaking the first, but can't for the second. | That pretty much sums it up. According to this logic its okay to kill people as long as we are not breaking the ninth commandment. Never mind the fact that assisting in a murder is a breach of the sixth commandment, and so lying to stop a murder (in these circumstances) cannot be a breach of the ninth commandment at all.
