Wrongful convictions or bearing false witness. (FOR A TALK AROUND SENIOR FEMALE)
.
Posted Sep-06-08 17:39:27 PDTLast night an interesting conversation took place between myself and another. Basically the story given by this blogger was she was giving facts whereas, I was bragging about education, experience, and talking down to others.
.
"I DID NOT SAY YOUR NAME."
.
Yet, when I put her comments within her blog thread and from a male blogger's post including similiar comments from my own. The above phrase was offered as a whimsical faulty reasoning. So, this got me thinking.
.
If said blogger, a devout Christain was not in fact talking about me then she was "bearing false witness" against another thus breaking the 9th Commandment of the Bible. In the days of ancient Hebrews, the 'WITNESS' who gave testimony thus became another person's prosecutor. And in ancient times an accused person could be PUT TO DEATH over a malicious person "bearing false witness."
.
After reading this and reflecting, that by 'talking around' and not actually saying or typing a person's name does not absolve a person from always telling the truth when confronted. In my opinion, lying against another fits into the 9th Commandment.
.
So, as I sit here and ask myself. Have you committed this act? I am positive I have, thing is when I am questioned. As uncomfortable as I find myself feeling at the confrontation I will tell the truth.
.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. (Exodus 20:16)

When I usually want to talk about a person, in public setting...I most definitely will use their name (eBay id) within the context, either in the title of the post or my comment...Beating around the bush is just plain immature and a waste of time...JMHO...

neverbrandedneverbroke ( 983) View seller's items | View BlogI have no idea what the bible says, but IMO if I say something that is directed at another I will tell them if they ask had I not already done so in my original thought/response/post.
bearing false witness....that sounds a bit strong, but, again I don't know the bible so I'm not sure of the biblical meaning of the phrase.

saenzmom ( 537) View seller's items | View BlogAfternoon, OBS
CPD, I also take the petty gossiping and egging on bloggers to fight as the same thing. A form of lying thus 'false witness.'
Shelld0n, It is when we don't recognize our own faults and mistakes when trouble gets deep.
Healthy,
True, you do "call" people out by name when it is in your vested interest. However see above comment to CPD. JMHO & you have a wonderful day.

I am wondering which ancient cultures he is referring to as well. Women had roles in the early church until I believe the second century when Christianity was expanding its reach. Then again I may be
wrong.
