Well spoken Jacob. One either accepts the Bible as God's word,
or one does not. If one accepts it then he accepts that "his heart is
deceitful." Hence he knows that following his heart is not the way to
go.

Psalms 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.
Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to
this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night.

John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

A church I know of which is a good church in many ways has a pamphlet
to explaim the commandments to kids. The 10th commandment is described
as "do not be jealous of what other have".

I believe that that wording reflects the state of western christianity
in the modern capitalist world which focuses
on sexual sins and practically ignores all forms of greed the way of
enron. That particular wording seems to imply unions should not strike
as to be jealous of those who have more. The idea of jealousy conjures
images of the have nots, because to be jealous implies you are lacking
something. The defintion of covetousness (which I looked up in the
dictionary) applies to
desiring something. If a man owns 2 mansions and wants yet a 3rd,
and seeks to build on the oceanfront, have a private beach and keep
others out that seems to me to be one who covets. Enron sought to covet
more wealth than they had, there is no end to how much you could want.
Enron does not strike me as the situation where they sought wealth out
of jealousy. Neither does King David when he took the wife of Uriah,
David had plenty of wives and just desired this woman, it doesn't seem
that he did it out of jealousy or for lack of women that he had
himself, as he had several wives.

Despite the many inspiring sermons of our religious leaders,
christianity in our modern day world is not strongly in accord with the
scriptures.
