Why are these commandment so oddly specific?

Not clear what this question is referring to. BobKilcoyne (talk) 02:40, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the article quoting Proverbs without context?

There is a clear differences between "lying when it matters" and "lying when it does not matter", which is exactly the distinction the article is making. Despite this, without any explanation or context, the current version has a Proverb against a "lying tongue" randomly thrown in the middle. This does not really seem to fit here, given that this is a specific article about the commandment.

It should either be removed or highlighted as a case where there are prohibitions against "any" lying, in other parts of the Bible.

Please let me know if this is a change that would be supported? Ftrotter

Many testified falsely against Jesus, but their statements did not agree.

This has always baffled me. Jesus said "I will destroy the temple". He did not tell his listeners that he was speaking of his body, not the Temple. Later the priests accused him of saying what he said. Why is that false witness? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.77.244 (talk) 23:21, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Henry's quote

Under the Reformed Doctrine section, there's a quote of Matthew Henry that isn't set apart like they are with the John Calvin quotes. Not sure how to change it or even if it really needs to be changed, or I would do it myself. 68.96.208.116 (talk) 02:06, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs cleanup

Entire sections of this article rely on primary religious sources and must be cleaned up. The language used in the said sections is religious in nature and absolutely does not fit in an encyclopedia. Boundary.operator (talk) 23:39, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
