Thou shalt not steal

"Thou shalt not steal" One of the ten commandments.. Using this in its own term makes a lot of sense.. Our society has this commandment as one of its keystones relying heavily on your morals as a human.. Using the fundamental aspect of the Christian message of freewill, everyone will do good if given the chance.. Problem is, most people will steal if there is no consequence.. Those who promote the ideal, are the same people who are hiding a divine universal law under the premises of things you cant even begin to imagine..

If you believe in it, why hide?

The most important thing, is not the moral of the message... Its the intent or so called true will of your action.. If you steal cause you want it..
Then the intent will fall under one of the seven sins.. Greed..
If you steal cause you are hungry and cant afford, well then, the intent falls under the Natural law...
He still broke the law and the law is universal. Society and the State have an obligation to always fulfill the natural law to its citizens, if you cant fulfill a universal law as the so called natural law, well then you as a state failed your citizens..

Are you talking about a particular incident? It kinda sounds like you are.

a reply to: tikbalang

First, it's Christian, please cap the C. Christ deserves the recognition.

Second, stealing is stealing, no matter the cause. It is a FORGIVABLE sin, even the intent.

I don't recall God providing a footnote on His commandments?

What?

In other words, God didn't say "Thou shalt not steal ... unless, of course, thou art really, really hungry, and then it's OK."

Nothing is hidden in my post, its transparent

a reply to: tikbalang

If you believe in it, why hide?

Say what?

If by transparent you mean lacking substance, I agree.

a reply to: tikbalang

NO, I believe that all people are humans and imperfect, which tempts them to choose to steal. Doing so break God's commandment, but does not terminate His love. "Ask and ye shall receive His forgiveness", kind of thing...

a reply to: ketsuko

Well, Natural law, is very basic.. Its Universal.. Stealing is wrong "if" its cause of greed..

If i want?
If i need?

a reply to: ketsuko

Precisely.

Thank you.

Natural law does not supercede God's law.

Stealing is just that...stealing.

a reply to: NewzNose

So you are relying of the choice that he doesnt steal, its still a moral question..

Guilt and shame is realiable tool when raising someone, the meaning why most people dont steal, is cause of guilt and shame.. Not cause of the choice to do right.. If there was no consequence to your actions, " do you believe people would choose to do right? "

In society, probably no..But it also depends on the culture of the society..
