What is the big deal about “stealing?” Why is theft part of the prohibitions in the Ten Commandments? What are the implications that this commandment puts on how we live faithful lives? What does this commandment have to say in how we treat our neighbors?
In this episode of The Podechesis Podcast, the guys talk about the questions in John Wesley’s Revision of the Westminster Shorter Catechism that deal with the 8th commandment (On not stealing). They will talk about the nuances of the commandment as well as its implications in how we live moral and ethical lives. They will also discuss the role of wealth and riches in the Christian faith
