Steal no more

You shall not steal Exodus 20:15 Lord Yahweh Said to the people of Israel. It is his eighth commandment. The first seven commands have the death penalty as the punishment of disobedience. The eighth and ninth commands have lesser penalties. So some Missionaries are stealing the offerings from foreigners and Church believers. They thought that it will not leading to death. The more public theft of land or buildings does not seem to be in view in Exodus 20:15. That would be more a crime of fraud and violence. Achan and family were executed because of their disobedience to the command concerning things 'banned' or 'devoted to destruction' (Joshua 7:11) The breaking of the eighth commandment never involved the death penalty unless some other crime was also involved. So The Lord punishes his servants when their crime increased with other crimes such as stealing other man's wife. Or making idols to worship. Some worships money, some men, some selfish. Many missionaries in India, such as World vision, Every home crusade, Gems, are showing the world they helping to the poor, and they send mails with photos, videos of above cause. But they misuse the offerings of the sacrificing Christians. They are wearing Costly suits and teaching prosperity blasphemies. These missionaries steal no more. Because their crime is:putting offences before the newly converted Christians. So their faith is offended. The penalty is death. Their sin is leading to their death. Lord Jesus Said: Woe to the World because of offenses. Woe to the man by whom the offense come. They will be punished as per Matthew 18:6. Amen.
