OK so the wifi bit was an edit, but let us look at what your special book says in the rest of the verse that WWJDnow was referring to:

Deuteronomy 5:21

Did you miss my post about the neighbour giving his wi-fi as a gift.

It's not exactly "coveting" is it? He's donating it to you.

That is the debate, I was just showing that your special book in Deuteronomy 5:21 covers wifi as much as it does a house, field, or man seruant etc.

So if my neighbor builds his house on my property? plows a field on my property? Sends his man servant to do work on my property?

Perhaps if the Wifi could only be used by one person at a time, it could be considered stealing, but your neighbor could be online and not even notice you. Unless of course you decide to pirate a bunch of videos or something.

Re: Is it OK to "Steal" My Neighbor's Wi-Fi Signal?

The Bible says "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife", not "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wifi."

Brother, I'm not sure there's any coveting going on here.

All that's happening is using what, as Brother WJB has so interestingly pointed out, is something the neighbor is carelessly strewing across my church's property anyway.

There is one potential glitch: If your neighbor is involved in any illicit activities (making bomb threats against abortion clinics and gay "community" centers; downloading pornography; writing scores of letters to a True Christian™ lady like Sister Talitha begging for discipline, in violation of a restraining order), you could get blamed for them!

I thought I was pretty clear in my initial post in anticipating the potential God mockers that might come around here and try to undermine the Bible (KJV1611). "Coveting" is a thought crime against God, it says nothing about actually doing anything about it.

Covet -

1. to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others: to covet another's property.
2. to wish for, esp. eagerly: He won the prize they all coveted.
3. to have an inordinate or wrongful desire.

If my neighbor refuses to erect a fence on his property and I happen to observe his scantily clad harlot wife sunbathing in the back yard I better not even think about the idea of planting my seed in her as that would be a sin. If, however, she wanders over to my property and begs me to put some seed in her it is an entirely different matter.

A Wi-Fi signal is an example of the latter, as it simply wanders on to my property.

Well that was a good question, now here is a good answer: When using a neighbor's wifi signal, what are your intentions?, do you intend to look up helpful knowlege?, in that case, I see nothing wrong with it, but!!, if your intentions are to steal music, and/or movies, then it is wrong, mainly because when a person does that, they place the neighbor in jepordy, the neighbor can be thrown in jail and fined up to what ever the copy rights infringement law says that they must pay, worse yet, what if a wifi thief goes online for the soul purpose of watching porn, now the neighbor is seen as a pervert by the local authorities, and is investigated, which BTW, costs money, tax money that is, so I think that we should look at the intentions first.

Quite simple, it is you breaking the law, not your neighbor.

Tell that to the phone company and the police, wifi stealers don't show up on radar, that's the problem, only the person that has the internet connection, that's why I do not use wifi, it's turned off, better safe than sorry.

If you are a True Christian then there is no problem with anyone believing you.

That's what we all want to believe, but the phone company and the law goes by evidence, and phone records is evidence, I'm sure that a good lawer and some time, and money would clear one's name, but, why go through it, that's why mine is off.

God would not let a True Christian be falsely convicted in that way. If God is on your side then there is no problem.

Well Lisa, I for one have been pulled from death many times by God, but I don't want to talk about it now, I personally know the wonders of spiritural intervention, and God has also given me the wonderous glory of intervening in the lives of others, I also know the greed of the American system, and it's Satan, and I have met this Satan first hand, and it's the same here in Germany, but not as bad. The greedy capitalist/zionists don't care about anyone's God, only theirs but yes, I do have faith, but why challege it.

There is only one God, all other gods are just false idols. God is more powerful than Satan. If you are a True Christian and live like the Bible tells us, then there is no problem.
