Stealing, killing, lying are all things we know we should not do!! You shall not bear false witness is more than lying because ‘witnessing’ implies a legal context. Something seen or experienced firsthand and therefore authentic. Great harm can come from false accusation. Have you ever hurt anyone by sharing something you heard, but had not verified, and then found it to be false?

Challenge: Don’t gossip. Don‘t share information about others and you won’t bear false witness! Once again. think before you speak.
