How does the Eight Commandment foster truth, justice and love?
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor prohibits destructive perversions of the truth that damage the life of the covenant community. Like all the others, the Eight Commandment must be understood in the context of the Covenant. It thus touches the truth involved in the human interpersonal relationships of justice and love that ground the communitys life.
In the New Testament, Christ is both Lord of the Eight Commandment as the Truth in himself, and man of the Commandments as always being perfectly honest, truthful, and open with everyone he encountered.
Christ as the Truth liberates by freeing us from ignorance, lying and hypocrisy.
He taught and prayed for his disciples that they be open and true in their thoughts, words and deeds.
Is it kind?
Thank you!
