Permalinkinterpretation regarding the word "covet".
The pain part:
RUDY is the only one of you who wrote the definitive word... "desire". That is the word at the heart of all
interpretations.
That does NOT mean you are wrong, as I said before. But to me, if it matters at all (it does not... I am NOT
into myself as much as YOU fuckers), "desire" is the word needed to be concerned about.
(17) Thou shalt not covet.
This command seems to have been added in order to teach the general principle that the Law of God is
concerned, not with acts and words only, but with the THOUGHTS OF THE HEART. Rightly understood, the seventh
and eighth commandments contain the tenth, which strikes at covetousness and lustful DESIRE. (Comp. Matthew
5:27-28.)
Ancient moralists did not usually recognize this; thought... unless CARRIED OUT INTO ACTS, was regarded as
"FREE;" NO RESPONSIBILITY WAS CONSIDERED TO ATTACH TO IT, and consequently no one felt it needful to control
his thoughts or regulate them. It was therefore of importance that the Divine Law should distinctly assert a
control over men's thoughts and feelings, since they are the source of all that is evil in word and act; and
true godliness consists in bringing "every thought into captivity to Christ" (2Corinthians 10:5).
True, this is by one interpretation, but it being the first and echoing MY thoughts, I think it's as
pertinent or more to defining the word covet.
The Ten Commandments as I wrote them, were abridged versions, of course. To know the TRUE meaning of each and
every commandment, you need to look to the Bible for their exact meanings.
To simply "covet", is an over-simplification of Bible passages.
Exodus 20:17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor
his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
Another:
Thou shalt not covet - The foregoing commands implicitly forbid all DESIRE of doing that which will be an
injury to our neighbor; this forbids all inordinate DESIRE of having that which will be a gratification to
ourselves. O that such a man's house were mine! such a man's wife mine! such a man's estate mine! This is
certainly the language of discontent at our own lot, and envy at our neighbor's, and these are the sins
principally forbidden here. God give us all to see our face in the glass of this law, and to lay our hearts
under the government of it!
WAAAAAY to far off-topic, so...

Louisiana Becomes 1st State To Require The Ten Commandments Be Posted In Classrooms
I do not agree with this, BUT... if you "let" Muslims pray or anything else they want to do, then, is it
soooo much a burden to post something that's been pretty much made into law?
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet.
Religious or a lesson and message?
I thought prayer in schools was a no-no?

How Supporting STUDENTS During Ramadan Helps Build Feelings of Belonging
Nation Apr 14, 2022 2:03 PM EDT
NEW ORLEANS - For Muslims, Ramadan is the holiest month of the year. It is a month of fasting, prayer,
reflection, and community. However, some practicing Muslim students in Louisiana feel ignored by their public
school community.
(annnnd why shouldn't they... separation of church and state? What's done for Christian students during Lent
and Easter? Dying eggs?)
Ramadan, which begins April 2 and ends May 2 this year, also falls during the last stretch of the school year
for many school districts in the state. The timing presents an uncomfortable situation for parents with
children who are balancing fasting and participation in other religious customs with the demands of school,
including critical year-end academic assessments and outdoor activities.
As a result, some MUSLIM PARENTS ARE SEEKING ACCOMMODATIONS FROM THEIR SCHOOLS for practicing students.
Parent advocates say a lack of guidance from the Louisiana Department of Education makes it tough to navigate
their religious beliefs.
