A person might be jealouse of another person because they have the thing, but that is speaking of the person who owns it and not of the object itself.

I mean jealousy is something that someone wants but don't have right. Â I agree that it is the desire to have what someone else has, but I see it more like envy than jealousy.

I think that one blue ribbon example of coveting that resulted in disastrous consequences is the story of Gary Gilmore, who was executed by firing squad in Utah several decades ago. The storyline as described in the book: "The executioner's Song" Indicated that Gilmore saw a pickup truck at a dealership that he wanted and was obsessed with, but he could not come up the down payment, he decided to commit robberies to obtain the money; in the course of committing the robberies, he committed murder.

For example, if I see a beautiful home and really like it and hope to own it someday, is this coveting or a sin in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
