Do you think the covet commandment, if followed, would destroy the US economy.?

Answer 1

Perhaps. Now I am a former Christian, but I know the commandment you refer to would change at least the landscape of the American economy if followed more by self-labeled Christians. The American economy is, after all, based on multiplication of wants rather than purification of the human character.

Answer 2

Perhaps. It might not have a huge impact on it, but maybe a perceptible effect. What we should realize is that laws and so-called "truths" are only relevant and good in context of a particular situation or time. Rules should be maintained for the purpose of practicality, not categorically asserted as a timeless truth. Imagine if all laws Congress passed could never be amended or repealed. The same is true with supposed absolute rules like the exhalted Ten Commandments. I am in no way advocating murder or theft or anything, but my point is just that we should examine the usefulness of laws rather than blindly stick to them.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Yes. I really do. I think it was more to help against theft, murder, and jealousy than anything. Greed was also a biggy. Great point. I never looked at it that way.
