YaHuWaH

All Na​​mes

"You do not steal."

The 8th commandment, which states that you must never take anything that belongs to someone else without that person's permission, is likewise rather simple to comprehend. People may attempt to defraud you of your money in order to benefit themselves. To do so, some even misrepresent the Bible.

The Torah lists numerous examples of theft, such as taking something that is not yours, kidnapping someone, lying to someone, using dishonest tactics in commercial dealings, relocating a neighbour's boundary, etc.

Matthew Chapter 15 Verses 17 - 19 states:

"Don’t you know that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and then is expelled as waste? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is those things that make a person unclean. It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander."

As with anyone who makes breaking the commandments of the Covenant their own lifestyle choice, unrepentant thieves will ultimately be rejected by the Messiah at His judgement as their actions prove that their heart is hardened and there is no love for YaHuWaH or people in them.
