The Ten Commandments Part 10: On Not Bearing False Witness

What is truth and why is it important?  Why is truth-telling a part of the Ten Commandments?  How does not bearing false witness impact our “neighbor?”  Does the ninth commandment even matter today?

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 9th commandment (On not bearing false witness).  They discuss the role of truth in our relationships, why truth-telling is important, and even discuss if there ever a time it is ok to lie.
