How can you know which parts of the Bible to base your criteria in order to tell if its God's wisdom that you get from other mature believers as well as other sources like books and music relating to God's Word?

Nazi Germany.
SS officer comes to knocking on your door.
"Excuse me sir, do you have any Jews in your house."
Your mind(if any) wanders off thinking about the Jews you hid in the attic.

SS officer repeats his question.

Decision time kebot:
a.) God said thou shall not lie, so I say yes.
b.) I'm an intelligent person and can use my intellect, not some medieval book, to guide my decision. So I'll say no.

Kebz choice should be:

a.) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
b.) I'm an intelligent person and can use my intellect, not some medieval book, to guide my decision. So I'll say no.

Hints for Kebz:

A.) The ninth commandment concerns our own and our neighbour's good name: Thou shalt not bear false witness, Exo_20:16. This forbids,

1. Speaking falsely in any matter, lying, equivocating, and any way devising and designing to deceive our neighbour. 2. Speaking unjustly against our neighbour, to the prejudice of his reputation; and (which involves the guilty of both),

3. Bearing false witness against him, laying to his charge things that he knows not, either judicially, upon oath (by which the third commandment, and the sixth of eighth, as well as this, are broken), or extrajudicially, in common converse, slandering, backbiting, tale-bearing, aggravating what is done amiss and making it worse than it is, and any way endeavouring to raise our own reputation upon the ruin of our neighbour's.

B.) Nauna ang do not kill kaysa sa do not lie sa Ten Commandments..hehehe..
