Some thoughts on the ninth commandment (“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor”) at [ joethorn.net](http://www.joethorn.net/2006/03/22/the-ninth/?ref=dashhouse.com):

> Look, if you think someone’s theology is dangerous, then deal with it. Use the man’s words, and show where his words speak heresy or false doctrine. I believe this is one of the tasks of our pastor-theologians and professors. But it must be done with care and precision, not passion and presumption. This forces everyone to be honest and fair.

> Misrepresenting the ideas of another is both a misrepresentation of the truth, and it is unbecoming of the church. Such habits are **satanic**, and the danger is double because it encourages others to repeat the lie and spread the sin. As Watson put it, “A false witness perverts the place of judicature; he corrupts the judge by making him pronounce a wrong sentence, and causes the innocent to suffer.”
