Exodus 20:15 The Eighth Commandment - 11/17/24

The Eighth Commandment, "You shall not steal", deals with every aspect of theft.  This commandment guarantees property rights to individuals, however, with rights come responsibilities.  As the Parable of Talents indicates, a servant that is granted much, much is required.  A servant that is granted little, there is still a multiplication required and given back to his lord.  To hide the talent is to steal from the lord.
