The Ten Teachings - Nine - Heroic Honesty
Essentially, this came from when a person was in court. So, God was saying speak the truth when you’re on the witness stand. Don’t slander someone else or make something up just to bring them down. Most likely not all of us will be on the witness stand too often, tempted to slander someone. But, our lives are always fully open before the Lord. And this commandment does speak to the importance of heroic honesty. The 9th commandment says, Don’t give false testimony. And Jesus turned it around for the positive and said, Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’, and your ‘No’, ‘No’ (Mt. 5:37).
