  Question 112: What does God require of us in the Ninth Commandment? Answer: God requires us not to bear false witness against anyone, not to twist what another has said, not to gossip or slander, not to condemn anyone without a just cause or hearing. We must also reject lying and all perjury, whether in court or elsewhere. Such practices are the devil's devices and bring down God's terrible wrath. We must love the truth, speak it, and publicly acknowledge it. We must do our utmost to protect and uphold our neighbor's good name. The Ninth Commandment: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. The nature of lying stems from greed in the heart. We lie to fulfill the desires of our hearts, which are greed. John 8:44 says, "You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his...

  Question 111: What does God require of you in this commandment?   Answer: To do my best for the good of my neighbor, to treat others as I would have them treat me, and to work diligently to help the poor. The falsehoods spread by false prophets steal from God. The Israelites need to eat the true bread of truth, but they preach falsehoods, preventing them from doing so. Many false pastors today preach such falsehoods. This is why false pastors rob them of their very lifeblood. For example, they say, "Just believe in Jesus and you will be saved." But it's not about believing, it's about entering into the faith of Christ. I, as an individual, cannot be the subject of faith; only Christ's faith can. Faith is the death and resurrection of the cross. Therefore, salvation is only possible if one's faith presupposes dying with Jesus Christ. Beyond faith, they also spread various falsehoods about repentance, resurrection, and the second coming. Believers must...

  Question 110: What does God forbid in the Eighth Commandment? Answer: God does not forbid only open theft and robbery, which are forbidden by law. Theft in God's sight includes all acts of defrauding our neighbors, even though they may outwardly appear lawful; such as false weights, measures, and measures, fraud, counterfeiting, usury, and any other means forbidden by God. Moreover, God forbids all covetousness and all indiscriminate waste of His gifts. Eighth Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Steal Some people commit theft by actually committing it, but others harbor it in their hearts without actually acting on it. This is precisely the greed within their hearts. This greed, when put into action, manifests as theft. Through this commandment, God reveals the sinful nature of greed within humanity. Evil angels were those who, wanting to become like God, attempted to steal from Him. Disobeying God's command in the Garden of Eden and eating the fruit of the tree of the knowle...

  Question 109: In this commandment, does God only forbid such heinous sins as adultery? Answer: Since our bodies and souls are holy temples where the Holy Spirit dwells, God desires that they be pure and holy. Therefore, God forbids all illicit acts, including looks, words, thoughts, desires, and anything else that might lead others to such acts. Adultery can be physical or spiritual. Regarding physical adultery, Jesus clearly states, "Whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." However, while Jesus was addressing the Pharisees' question about physical adultery, he was also addressing spiritual adultery. Spiritual adultery is like believing in both God and Baal. The Israelites were people who believed in both God and the world, and it's rampant in the church today. The primary cause of this is false prophets within the church. They confuse the congregation with humanism, legalism, and gnosticism. Chris...

  Question 108: What does the seventh commandment teach us about God?   Answer: God condemns all adultery. Therefore, he teaches us to abhor it and live chastely and respectfully, whether in holy marriage or single life.   The Seventh Commandment: Do not commit adultery. Matthew 5:27-28 “ You have heard that it was said, ‘ You shall not commit adultery. ’ But I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ” In Exodus 20, the Ten Commandments were given, and verse 14 states that adultery should not be committed. Accordingly, regarding adultery, Deuteronomy 22:22-24 states, "If a man is found lying with a married woman, both of them shall die: the man who lay with her and the woman. You shall purge the evil from Israel. If a virgin is betrothed to a man, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, you shall bring them both out to the gate of your city and stone them to death. The virgin, because ...

  (3) The Two Stone Tablets Incident ① The Meaning of the Two Stone Tablets Exodus 20:2 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery." Exodus describes Moses leading the Israelites to Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from God. Exodus 20:2 refers to the two stone tablets God had initially created. However, when Moses went up Mount Sinai and did not come down for a considerable period of time, the people, led by Aaron, made a golden calf and began to worship idols. Exodus 32:1-4 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered together and said to Aaron, “ Up, make us gods who will go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him. ” Aaron said to them, “ Take off the gold rings that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me. ” Then all the people took the gold rin...
