biblestudy: The Commandments (Part 18)
Bearing False Witness
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 28-Apr-90; Tape #BS-TC18
Description: In this eighteenth installment of The Commandments series, John Ritenbaugh, focusing upon the Ninth Commandment (the prohibition against lying) indicts Modern Israel for its blatant hypocrisy, perennially playing games with God's truth. A community can only be established upon a foundation of stability and truth. The two most influential persons in any community are the preacher and king — roles that our Elder Brother Jesus has rightfully assumed by virtue of His inherent embodiment of truth. The Ninth Commandment carries some striking harmonic parallels with the Third Commandment, the latter regulating the quality of our relationships with other human beings as the former regulates the quality of our relationship with God. God wants our relationship with other men to be based upon His Truth, establishing a solid reputation for honesty, faithfulness, and reliability. Conversion (and being a good witness) hinges upon recognizing, submitting to, and embracing truth, totally uncovering and displacing any deceptive shameful hidden things in our lives (68 minutes)
