The 6th Commandment is pretty simple to understand. It is usually translated "you shall not kill", but this command is really referring to the 'murder' of a person without just cause, as the word 'ratsach' is also used for 'murderer' in Hebrew, and there are other words that are more appropriately used for the verb 'kill'.

Murder is a capital offence. In most countries murderers either receive life imprisonment or the death penalty. It is because of the value of a human's life, because we are made in the image of YaHuWaH, that He holds to account anyone who kills another human without cause. Many innocent babies are murdered every day in many countries under the guise of 'abortion and pro-choice'.

YaHuWah will hold people accountable for their deeds. As formerly blessed Western nations, we are on the verge of disaster and severe judgement, and we feel that one of the main causes of this is the evil of abortion. All of the hallmarks of the time of the 'four horsemen of the apocalypse' are present in current world events!

Yahushua, our Messiah, dispelled any confusion regarding the fundamental significance of this commandment. Although it is clear that the sixth commandment forbids murder, it also suggests that animosity towards your brothers and sisters who uphold the commandments is forbidden.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Messiah said in Matthew Chapter 5 Verses 21-23:

"You heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder,' and whoever murders shall be liable to judgement. But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgement. And whoever says to his brother,'Raka!' (empty-headed) shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be liable to the fire of Gehenna."

This connection between anger and slander of a brother and hatred toward that brother, to which Yahushua is referring, is made explicit in the Torah, where specific instructions are given about slander:

Leviticus Chapter 19 Verse 16 - 18

"You must not walk about as a slanderer among your people. You must not stand idly by when your neighbour's life is at stake. I am YaHuWaH. You must not hate your brother in your heart. You must surely reprove your fellow citizen so that you do not incur sin on account of him. You must not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people, but you must love your neighbour as yourself. I am YaHuWaH."

The sixth commandment and other Torah teachings specifically condemn hatred, slander, harbouring resentment, seeking revenge, and ultimately murder. Instead, we are to conduct ourselves by the exhortation that follows, "You must love your neighbour as yourself."

While premeditated murder of another is strictly forbidden by the commandment, there are situations where killing a human being is clearly not punishable. In the event of accidental manslaughter, the Torah allows for the slayer to escape the wrath of the relatives of the dead one and find refuge in certain cities in Israel.

Another scenario is in combat. Although we won't get into a debate about righteous vs. unrighteous wars, the killing of adversaries in a war is not the same as the deliberate murder of a person. 

YaHuWaH himself ordered the slaughtering of many nations of people who were wicked beyond redemption. And throughout its history, ancient Israel fought wars against enemy nations under the leadership of its judges and kings. All of this killing of enemies was commended because it is viewed as protective actions against wicked people whose intent was to slaughter Israelites and spread their evil cultures that included abominations such as child sacrifice and cannibalism.
