Also, killing people in war, is also not a sin. As a matter of fact the only killing that is actually a sin, is murder. The translations that say: "Thou shalt not kill" I believe are mistranslated. They must be or god wouldn't have commanded stoning as a punishment for some crimes, or have commanded Israel to go to war.

You are exactly right. The Hebrew word used in "Thou shalt not kill" means specifically unjustified murder.
