So these passages stress three characteristics: murder, sexual immorality, and slander. Murder is pretty obvious. I think it's safe to say that most people agree that murder is morally wrong. Slander is pretty much well known as well - basically, don't say something untrue about others. Sexual immorality is much more tricky in today's society. What is clearly immoral in the Bible and even detestible in God's eyes is becoming more and more blurred. I don't want to get into this in this posting. Any comments?
