Exodus 20:16 is the reference to the ninth commandment. "Neighbor" is not just the people who "live" next door to you, but everyone! It is the person standing next to you in the checkout line, sitting at a table next to you in a restaurant...
Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 19:19, 22:39; Mark 12:31, 12:33; Luke 10:27; Romans 13:9; James 2:8; Galatians 5:14 all commands man to love his neighbor as himself.
John 8:44, False witness, lying comes strictly from Satan who is "the father of all lies!"
Genesis 3:4, The biggest lie from Satan "you will not die" being accepted as truth in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve. The Fall brought about their immediate response of lying to Almighty GOD by bearing false witness against one another. Adam blamed Eve (Genesis 3:12), Eve blamed the serpent (Genesis 3:13), the serpent was cursed to crawl on its belly by what Satan accomplished through it.
One known fact; when one lies, it doesn't stop there. Other lies then need to back up the first until the liar doesn't remember what he/she has said and their world collapses for the lack of truth. This also includes half truths. One may have said just enough truth to make another think differently than if they had told the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Self-Control of your words should be held high in one's personality, attitude, and disposition. For every word that proceeds out of your mouth, "Every idle word that men speak, they shall give an account on Judgment Day." (Matthew 12:36) GOD knows all of your words, truth and lies.
There's so much beautiful in the world! Man shouldn't corrupt it by half truths, lies, and false witness against others. Love, don't hate. I love this shortened version with different pictures of John Denver's song. It is worth the watching! Take in the Love of GOD for you!
