We've documented it time and time again. She was young, she was Black, she was a woman.

00:53

No one expected her to look like the face of heart failure. When you don't look like what someone expects, that's gonna lead to delays in diagnosis.

01:55

So they'll ask, why does God contradict himself? Well, let's ask the question, did God actually say, thou shall not kill?

02:15

There are two different words that we have in both the Hebrew and in the Greek, but in this case we're looking at Hebrew, that speak about murder and killing.

02:26

They are not the same thing. These are two different events. And the issue that we end up seeing in them is the fact that killing is an act where someone will maybe slaughter an animal, where someone is taking another life, in a general sense.

02:43

However, murder is a little bit different. Murder is not just some random act, but it is taking of an innocent life.

02:51

In other words, the fact that someone may, in a just war, take someone's life, is not considered murder, it's considered killing.

02:58

But taking of someone who is unjustly, their life is taken, that is what's called murder.

03:06
