Not to be picky, but “The Law” refers to the “Pentateuch”, or first five books of the Bible. The Ten Commandments are the basis of all the other laws laid out in these books, so you have the basis correct.
I found this:
The first five books of the Bible are sometimes called the Pentateuch which means five books.
They are also known as the books of the law because they contain the laws and instruction given by the Lord through Moses to the people of Israel.
These books were written by Moses, except for the last portion of Deuteronomy because it tells about the death of Moses.
These five books lay the foundation for the coming of Christ in that here God chooses and brings into being the nation of Israel. As Gods chosen people, Israel became the custodians of the Old Testament, the recipients of the covenants of promise, and the channel of Messiah
The issue with respect to Victoria Jackson pertains to a culture that has rejected even the most basic points of God's Law. Even as the left yearns for “social justice”, and writes volumes on it, and conducts countless street protests on the topic, it would find peace and prosperity if it only observed the Ten Commands.
But, and in reference to your point, the Commands against coveting and theft are not the whole expression of God's thoughts on property. If anyone is yearning for “social justice”, I would ask them to read Leviticus 19 where God also requires Israel to appoint righteous judges who will studiously treat all parties the same: to not favor the rich or discriminate against the poor in a dispute.
Soever, Lev 19 requires the farmer to reserve a portion of his field to allow the poor to glean food. I suspect that an advocate of “social justice” would dismiss this because the portion is fixed; the farmer does not have to worry that next year the “corner” will be enlarged because of “urgent and unfunded needs”. The corner is always just the corner.
It appears to me that advocates of “social justice” are looking for excuses to play Robin Hood- to take from anyone who has and give to favored people who claim to have not. All manner of lies are told to the public to justify the coveting that leads to this theft.
Because God, in the full Law, prohibits lies, coveting, and theft, all this socialization is in violation of 1 John 3:4.
