We are commanded not to steal, the challenge is that today the lines have become blurred, lies when contracting and fraudulent contracts are stealing, prosperity teaching which encourages congregants to give to the church or pastor or preacher is stealing if that person is teaching falsehood which applies in almost all cases and it is suspect in most other cases
Outright theft is obviously stealing but making right is NOT just about repenting, we may be called on to make restitution, restore what we stole multiplied but anything from three to ten times
