- The Mosaic Law System Operated On Principles Of Fairness And Truthfulness:
- Scripture Is Replete With Warnings Against Spewing Off Falsehood:
-"The false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever utters lies will not escape." (Proverbs 19:5)
-"A club, sword, or sharp arrow— the one who bears false witness against a neighbor. A bad tooth or an unsteady foot—a trust betrayed in time of trouble. Like the removal of clothes on a cold day, or vinegar on soda, is the one who sings to a troubled heart. If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat, if thirsty, give something to drink." (Proverbs 25:18-21)
-"Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, For would you deceive with your lips? Do not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work." (Proverbs 24:28-29)
