Do Not Bear False Witness

Lying is the Root of Evil

The most important ingredient to building a moral society is truth, both inside and outside a courtroom. The prohibition against "bearing false witness" does not only demands that truth reign supreme in a trial, but that it is a societal value throughout the culture. Bad things happen when people believe lies. With truth, we can build a decent society. Without it, even the other nine commandments won't help. This video is part of our series on the Ten Commandments.

Take the pledge to teach, honor, and live by the Ten Commandments.
