Good video! It reminds me of a verse in the New Testament: "You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free." ~John 8:32,. It certainly does.
Stephen Caron not most people, especially against you, I’ve learned in life. How bout your child failing in school... but you defend them to not endure embarrassment of parenting - which is not at all your fault. It just happens to be common modern behavior? Happens all day in non- admission.
EnlightenedThinker1 people get called haters for telling their own truth at times. This is not being a hater, but some can not maintain the maturity level to do otherwise, or “see” otherwise. Please give clearer example. Thank you.
Nevertheless, he is stating that the generality, instead of specifying example, categorizes him as one. This hurts our societal beliefs as a whole as to what is true and not true.
This commandment honestly is one I take to heart when it comes to self improvement. We all have shortcomings, and to fundamentally lie to ourselves about our strengths and weaknesses keep us from getting better.
I think making courtroom liars accountable to the wrongful punishment they would have caused is a fantastic, even poetic, idea. Far more effective than putting people "under oath" in a society that has forgotten honor.
Yeah.....its just a bunch of cells and it is not life. Yet if today, NASA found bacteria and or water etc on Mars, tomorrow's headline in every newspaper would read; "LIFE FOUND ON MARS" IT MOST CERTAINLY WOULD NOT READ; "JUST A BUNCH OF CELLS FOUND ON MARS"
Good one, Dennis. Just a small contribution: the core difference between all left vs. right thought comes down to one question of truth: is man inherently good. If one believes that he is, all sorts of perverse ideas and philosophies are sure to follow.
Kip Vaughan yeah the statement is a general statement...as true as the lawsin nature. That is man is inherently flawed and not good...in the pure sense of the word good. Think about it, does anything teach a child to lie, to steal, to be greedy, to be selfish, to thrown tantrums, to be rude and disrespectful? We display all this bad tendencies naturally as soon as we have the strength and will to. We are taught AGAINST these things in order to do what is right. Man is NOT good, in the pure sense of the word good. That is why we need a saviour.
Kip Vaughan all of them....all those traits I've mentioned have been displayed by every mortal including yourself...if you even deny it then you will be guilty of lying and thereby re-inforcing my point. Capiche?
They are all so perfectly designed. I think Truth is the most important and one so easily used everyday that it goes unnoticed unless personally it comes to light. Man has given Truth so many different definitions, when there is only One.
Great vid Dennis! Christ is the very personification of truth for He said: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Unless we start telling the truth and stop making lies we will never be with God. The foundation of Christianity is humility which is the acceptance of truth.
@captain purple Okay, I'm sorry I misread the reverend's comment as "science" rather than "silence", and that your deity is such a narcissistic, Machiavellian, creepy, cowardly, antisocial devil!
The commandment as taught to me in Catholic school was “thou shalt not bear false witness AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.” It seems to me many Protestants interpret that as “thou shalt not lie.” In the former, only the harmful lies are sinful. For the latter, every lie is a sin, including telling girls they look nice today, even if they don’t.
1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Your opinion doesn't matter to me. I know who I am. You don't.

Hey Dennis - I wrote this up about Truth a few years ago: "The Truth is what it is - it’s eternal and unchanging and isn't altered by, subject to, or conditional upon our personal paradigms. Any perception of the Truth as inconvenient, unpleasant or useless merely reflects upon the condition of the one confronting it. The Truth is unconquerable - as such it doesn’t need to be defended. Rather, if you abide in the Truth it’ll defend you. The Truth gives light - and therefore it doesn’t need to be discovered as it is never hidden. If one desires to see and know it, one need only step out of the shadows. The Truth is not oppressive - and therefore doesn’t need to be shouted or forced upon anyone. It only needs to be proclaimed and accurately. One may either open the door and receive it while basking in its life-giving warmth, or one may close the door to it and remain in darkness and subject to the self-deprivation of trying to rationalize the world and one’s existence without its benefits." - Andrew Zepf
*#mytestimony* I was against this commandant cos I didn't knew what is sin, and I got sick then I found in Bible why I was sick of dieseases and *God healed me and brought me to Christ and BIBLE*
I got a good one for this. There's a saying "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" (which I first heard in the assassin's creed game, but they stole it from some philosopher). Basically, people are generally not able to see actual truth but instead are only able to perceive it. How can you expect humans to do proper truth telling when they cannot see the objective truth?
There are objective truths though that most find true, such as slavery being evil, and Communism being incredibly evil. (I hope most see it that way at least).
After Brett Kavanaugh's false sexual accusations and now Vic Mignogna's presumably false accusations as well. It just shows how fundamentally important this commandment is to our society.
I tells a lot about religion that it promotes the truth while at the same time condemning hypocrasy. THOU shalt not bear false witness- WE do that for you, and we do it better
Yes and no, but mostly yes. Like you can tell the truth about someone, but if you limit the truth to only specific things about a person you are creating a false image of that person. For instance, let's talk about a hypothetical person: They have stolen from a store, done drugs, been arrested, and done time in jail. If we tack on the little tagline "is this the kind of person you want as a leader?" You now have a smear ad. Every single one of those things is true about this hypothetical person, BUT it's what the ad doesn't mention that makes it a false narrative and an issue of bearing false witness. This is why "the WHOLE truth" matters in court. So you decide you are skeptical about this smear ad's claims and go digging for yourself and find the person being smeared did these things as an adolescent and has since graduated from college with a masters in social work and works with foster kids because that's the life they came from. This changes your perspective dramatically about someone.
As a Christian, myself, I have a genuine question... In Joshua 2 and James 2:25 it mentions Rahab lying to rescue the Israelite spies and then being vindicated and considered righteous. What are your thoughts on that?
The phrase "only but so much evil" cannot be the justification for evil behavior. Any amount of evil is wrong, and sadistic following is what causes great harm, and ultimately will cause the destruction of the Earth.
Tactful truth. "It's a bit messy. I think I have some mousse to help." It's not that hard to tell the truth without making someone feel like shit in the process. If someone asks you, give them constructive criticism. Not asshole responses like "It looks like a bird has been nesting in your hair for a year."
I have at some points in my life but certainly not to the police or in court when I was on jury duty. I'm not proud of what I've done. But I've made up for what I've done turned my life around and got to where I am today. Hard working middle class kid working 6 days a week rolling in a slick ford escape and alot of other great things
I'm looking at this because someone lied under oath against me in court today. To my surprise, there are very little that is done about this. Even if you have proof. What is a law if it's not upheld?
lbsacris This video is not about all lying, it is about falsely accusing someone so that the person accused will be punished in someway be it by the government by a criminal conviction of in the private sector by being fired from a job or shunned by neighbors.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all *LIARS*, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” - Revelation 21:8
The problem with the reason given for these commandments in the video (that they are essential to civilization), aside from the fact that it isn't explicitly taught in Scripture, is that it represents pragmatism, which is a very flimsy foundation for morals. The truth is that these commandments flow from God's character--in the case of bearing false witness, it is wrong to lie because God cannot lie (Num. 23:19, 1 Sam. 15:29, Titus 1:2). Likewise, it is wrong to commit adultery because God is faithful to his covenants and to his people. Sure, they help to ensure a stable civilization but that is only because the universe God made follows laws that reflect his personhood. These commandments were meant in part to reveal God's nature to his people, so they could reflect his nature to the world around them and draw all nations into worship of the true God (Exodus 19:5-6).
And the bible also says God is unsearchable and humans can't hope to understand him. So cool story, but it does little to teach humans how or why they should apply it to their lives. Also, I'm pretty sure god can do whatever he wants as an all powerful entity...including lie if he were so inclined...
I thought the 9th commandment was more about not creating false rumours about other people or falsely accusing them of something that would damage their integrity.
Right. Not creating false rumors falls within the category of not bearing false witness. You can be a false witness (or false observer) against your proverbial neighbor, either *in* a court setting or *out* in the everyday world.
There are two interpretations for what the 10 commandments are: they can be a summary of the whole bible, or they can merely be the first 10 God spoke before the Children of Israel cut him off and asked him to speak through Moses, since hearing his voice directly was too difficult.
+Lestibournes Almost none of the Hebrews could read, that is why the ten commandments was made. It summarized the important laws, so that society could run.
+Levi Williams Actually, the 10 commandments were not written on the tablets of stone. The tablets are Lukhot Habrit, the tablets of the covenant, and contain passages about the covenant. Also, all of the Torah was first transmitted in oral form and put into practice, and only later put down in writing.
Speak the truth all the time so that everyone will be able to trust you.
That does not work all the time
Unless telling the truth causes evil .
@@thadstone7877 it taunts evil.
If you always tell the truth, you will never have to remember nor worry about upholding lies.
Thanks. Trying, hurts a lot. I don't know why ?
Absolutely insane how this material was censored. Well done Mr Prager.
The sentence for false accusations is the same as what the accused would face? This is Brilliant!!!
We need to bring this back now! This is the perfect law to slash false rape accusations, false slander accusations, and false "hate crime" accusations!

CNN breaks this commandment every second.
Just the comment I was looking for, I searched up this video and scrolled down to the comments just to see this.
If I had to choose between the truth or a lie that gives hope, I would rather have the truth.
Stephen Caron not most people, especially against you, I’ve learned in life.

This hurts our societal beliefs as a whole as to what is true and not true.
How does a video like this still have dislikes?
Lapys Arts because the truth hurts
Some people like lies.
Because bearing false witness in God's favour happens to be a moral imperative to Jews and Christians.
Because he is extrapolating things and saying that you should never lie.
If I want I will extrapolate he shouldn't tell me to do it.
Some people dislike every PragerU video simply because they're conservative.
This commandment honestly is one I take to heart when it comes to self improvement. We all have shortcomings, and to fundamentally lie to ourselves about our strengths and weaknesses keep us from getting better.
If only Hillary followed this commandment.
Yup not just Hillary but every leftist "social justice warrior" must consider following this commandment.
They won't. They'd much rather misinterpret every word of the bible to justify persecuting Christians much more than knowing the truth.
Does trickle down work?
and those who hate trump as it is seen and shown on the news are the violint ones and the liers on this. which is the sad reality at the moment.
Kerro Guano that's true. Do they also violate the 5th commandment? How about the 8th commandment? Oh yeah about that I'm aware of.

so dont kill the baby just remove it from the womans body, if it dies its on god
One thing we're seeing is that truth is no longer a valid excuse if you're accused of a hate crime.
Remember this women's are to believe and mens are guilty never saw that in bible
It's not that easy to be convicted of a hate crime actually because you have to prove intent which is difficult.
Good one, Dennis. Just a small contribution: the core difference between all left vs. right thought comes down to one question of truth: is man inherently good. If one believes that he is, all sorts of perverse ideas and philosophies are sure to follow.
Bingo!!!
What do you mean by "man"? Are you grouping all seven billion people on this earth into one category and making a general statement about all of them?
Kip Vaughan yeah the statement is a general statement...as true as the lawsin nature. That is man is inherently flawed and not good...in the pure sense of the word good.

In the former, only the harmful lies are sinful. For the latter, every lie is a sin, including telling girls they look nice today, even if they don’t.
