The Eighth Command-ment

http://tracksuitceo.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/10-commandments-of-supporting-your-family.jpg

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor (Exodus 20:16)

False testimony means “tell a lie.”Your neighbor stands for “any person you

have contact with.”

What does this mean?

Martin Luther explains that there are some things we should not do:

do not tell lies about anyone, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation,

And things we should do:defend him, speak well of him, and explain

everything in the kindest way.

Commandment 8 involves our speech …

What we say does affect others.That would include good ways (defend others, explain in a kind way)And bad ways

(lying, slander, gossip)Our sinful heart shows itself by what our

tongue does

James 3:5-12, about “the tongue”

Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

James 3:5-12, continued

 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

James 3:5-12 continued

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

Scenarios #1

I’ve got to get this paper in tomorrow, and it is way past midnight. I’ll just cut and paste this section from Wikipedia online and the teacher will never know I didn’t write it myself. (plagiarism)

What do you think?

Scenarios #2

I want to buy some cigarettes, I asked my friend who is 5 years older (21) for his I.D. because we look almost exactly alike. I think it will work!

More about God’s law

You could say that the 10 commandments give the details about what it truly means to love. For example, if you truly love, you will not steal. Romans 13:10

“Love is the fulfillment of the law.”

Jesus….

Jesus gives the 10 commandments a stricter meaning. Mathew 5:21-22 He says:

“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.

Jesus….
