I did not think so

Is the Bible, which you hope in for treasure in Heaven, a forgery?

Matthew 6:20-21

Forgery: the crime of falsely making or altering a writing by which the legal rights or obligations of another person are apparently affected;

The forger copied Matthew 24:4 thus; Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you......."

THINK about that.  THE SHEPHERD is telling his sheep that they should not be led by someone else.

John 10:4-5 John 10:27 Revelation 14:5 Jude 1:24-25

But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice. and Watch out that no one deceives you, contradict each other.   When that happens in MATH, what do you get?  I don't know, you tell me.  I think you get a zero.  Am I right?

Are you ever going to ask me the actual meaning of Matthew 24:4?   No?  I did not think so.

Which one doesn't belong?

The Ten Commandments

  • You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me
  • You Shall Not Take The Name Of The Lord Your God In Vain
  • Remember The Sabbath Day, To Keep It Holy
  • Honor Your Father And Your Mother
  • You Shall Not Murder
  • You Shall Not Commit Adultery
  • You Shall Not Steal
  • You Shall Not Bear False Witness Against Your Neighbor
  • You Shall Not Covet
It is child's play.

Which one isn't like the others?

1-7 and 9 are you alone.  Number 8 requires a third party.

Maybe it is more than child's play.  1 -7 and 9 are commands for you to behave decently with God or another person.
Number 8 needs you, the one you might tell a lie about and one to listen to your lie.  Can you see 8 needs a third party?  Do any of the others?

But if it means what I say it might mean, no third party necessary.

And what might that be?  It seems the word "against" has been added a long, long time ago. Probably since before Jesus.  If you take out the word against, now what does it say?  
You shall not bear false witness your neighbor.
Don't we judge people?  I think it is ok to decide if a person is up to par for you or not.  The key word is "to bear".   God is warning us that it is a sin to decide falsely about another person (say, like me), and then to bear it.  Bear it means to go ahead and behave as though your judgement about a person is the truth, but it isn't.  It is a sin, according to Commandment Number Eight, to decide for yourself if a person is good or is bad.

Just please take marriage as an example.  You have decided that a potential mate is good for you, but you do not know, and the marriage turns out badly.  It is because you broke the eighth commandment.  You witnessed falsely about the other person.  Divorce isn't always because of that, but sometimes the match wasn't right from the start.
