Exodus - 47 - Lesson 16 - Exod. 20:16 - DON’T LIE TO ANYONE

About this episode

Rev John Ferret discusses the implications of the 9th commandment regarding lying and its importance in society.

Is it always a sin to lie? Is there such a thing as "white lies?" Maybe the Lord only meant in the 9th Commandment not to lie as a witness in a court of law. And I can't be a false witness to my neighbor. Who is my neighbor? Only people in my neighborhood? Lots of questions come up on all the עשׂרת הדברים - Asereet HaDevareem - the ten statements of the Lord. Come and join us as we study the 9th commandment. We'll see that this commandment is the basis for a good and just society - probably what the Lord intended right from the "get go." Rev. Ferret - who is this guy?
