Yes, that's it exactly. That commandment overrides other parts of the Bible, even if those other parts of the Bible came later. When God inspired those other parts of the Bible, He was just inserting filler. That makes way more sense than the alternative explanation, which is that you're just cherry-picking and misreading a few verses.

Thank-you for reminding us of that passage, Rev. Rodimer.
How imperfect our understanding must seem to a perfect God in the light of His Perfect Love!
And my heart blossomed in the beautiful light of His word, wretch that I am, as I read Judges 11:31 and again as I read verse 32. God must have been so happy with Mr. Jephthah, and so excited by what he was going to do for Him. Nowadays, satan tries to tell us that different things should make us happy, and it is by reading The Bible that we arm ourselves against those demonic attacks.
EPHESIANS 6:11,14-17
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
Judges 11:33 shows us the extent of God's mercy, and His love for those who honour Him.
This passage started with verse 30, and because God knew that Jephthah would keep his word to God, God showed His Beautiful Lovingkindness not only to Jephthah, but through all the ages, even to us.
Naturally his beautiful virgin daughter - an only child - does not deserve a name, but when she came out to meet her father I know how happy she must have been, and how proud of her father, after his great achievement.
JUDGES 11:34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child
Satan loves to show us false beauty, and lure us with deceit. But we have been alerted to his wiles through God’s word.
And what a difference there is! Just go to any carnival or mardi gras or other devil infested saturnalia and witness the depravity, the hysteria, the trance states of demonic possession that are marketed in the service of Mammon to utterly destroy our human sensitivities, hardening our hearts with FALSE happiness to the Perfect Love of God.
The Bible tells about TRUE happiness, and brings us God’s Perfect Love.
PSALM 137:9 Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
II KINGS 15:16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
HOSEA 13:14a I will ransom them from the power of the grave HALLELUJAH!
HOSEA 13:14b I will redeem them from death GLORY!
Satan even tells us that unborn babies are innocent. And people believe him!
HOSEA 13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
PRAISE GOD! PRAISE HIS BEAUTIFUL LOVINGKINDNESS ! !

You're cherry-picking just as much by ignoring that parts about not killing (mentioned several times), and following the parts that directly contradict it. It's hard to misinterpret a basic statement like "Thou shalt not kill" but you seem to manage it. Just evidence that the Bible is somewhat out dated for modern society and should not be taken literally.

Dear friend:
First, we don't take kindly to people who twist Scripture to make it sound internally contradictory. As has already been explained to you, there is no contradiction.
Second, if the Bible should not be taken literally, how do you know that "Thou shalt not kill" should be taken literally? How do you know which parts to follow and which are not suitable for modern society? What is the test — whether each verse appeals to you?

I believe the basic laws/commandments stated should be taken literally:
"Thou shalt have none other gods before me."
Obviously should be taken literally - no debate about that, words straight from God.
However a story that has been retold by a writer of one of the books of the Bible maybe should be taken metaphorically.
Leviticus 19:10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
Rather than literally leaving grapes out for the poor, that verse says to help those in need through charity.

But Leviticus 19:10 is part of a series of laws headed with
Lev. 19:1: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
This means, of course, that Lev. 19:10 is also a statement of words straight from God. Therefore, your logic is self-defeating.

Are you not capable of understanding the difference between human-motivated killing -- that is, murder -- and God-directed execution?
Or do you merely think you get to pick and choose the parts of the Bible you like, and treat the rest as so much toilet paper?
Tell me -- I want you to go look it up -- what is the PUNISHMENT for working on the Sabbath?
Bible boring? Nonsense!

Were not friend. Quite a few places in The Laws says that anyone executed for breaking God's law killed themselves. "The blood is on their head" is the phrase The Bible uses in numerous places. We are not cheery picking, it is you that is are ignoring the rest of scripture.
Let's make this simple
I kill you because I don't like you = murder and wrong
The community kills you for breaking The Law = righteous act.
You see the difference?

Do you believe that someone should be stoned to death for switching on the lights one day? Using any electricity? Do you celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday or the traditional Saturday?

I didn't ask you what I believe. I asked you what God commanded as the punishment for working on the Sabbath.
What is it?

If you would be willing to kill your own son in ignorance of those reasons, then you are a horrible and sinful person who belongs in the depths of hell.

So, by that "especially", I take it you are pretty much admitting that some people deserve to live less than others do? You must be, otherwise there'd be no point mentioning. Good work, you're making some progress. Now, let's try another one: If God told you to "go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass", would you utterly massacre the entire tribe and all their animals, or would you decide that that was "not a good thing to do" and spare Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and... not utterly destroy them?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

So you consider switching on a light as work? Just how lazy are you?
I know you're picking that up from the Jews, but they've been playing a game with themselves for centuries now. One group sits around trying to expand the rules to make it basically impossible to live, and another group sits around figuring out how to get around those rules. Personally I find it entertaining to watch from the guidelines.
Even Jesus said that we should feed our animals on the Sabbath.

Romans 14:5-6 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Colossians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Very good!
Now tell me, how do you reconcile that with "Thou shalt not kill"? It certainly sounds like an explicit directive to execute someone for committing a particular crime against God, doesn't it?

It doesn't say that I have to put him to death, just that he will be. Thus it could be that he's struck down by God Himself.

Then what do you suppose this means?
Numbers 15:32-36: And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

And where does your special book clarify that?
Now if you had not got hung up on the KJV-CFT you could have gone for:
"You shall not murder." (Exodus 20:13 & Deuteronomy 5:17)
But you are stuck with "Thou shalt not kill."

It's just common sense that you need to shoot at negros when they are trying to steal your pies, or shoot at messycans when they try to poison your burrito. Common sense.
