Actually, the 10 Commandments are:

1. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
3. Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day.
4. Honor thy Father and thy Mother.
5. Thou shalt not kill.
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
7. Thou shalt not steal.
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.

Or so I was taught.

[The Brush]

I wonder what would happen if people started posting them on their front lawn?

[NYer]

Our lawmakers are deceptively giving the immoral minority the right to violate God’s laws by exchanging and legislating man’s laws that blaspheme, defy, and debase our God under the full protection of the American legal system.

Contrast that statement with the one made yesterday by the Holy Father at Auschwitz.

"Deep down, those vicious criminals, by wiping out this people, wanted to kill the God who called Abraham, who spoke on Sinai and laid down principles to serve as a guide for mankind, principles that are eternally valid. If this people, by its very existence, was a witness to the God who spoke to humanity and took us to himself, then that God finally had to die and power had to belong to man alone -- to those men, who thought that by force they had made themselves masters of the world. By destroying Israel, they ultimately wanted to tear up the taproot of the Christian faith and to replace it with a faith of their own invention: faith in the rule of man, the rule of the powerful. "

FULL TEXT

The Book of Eccliastes defines it best:

Ecclesiastes
Chapter 1

1

¹ The words of David's son, Qoheleth, king in Jerusalem:

2

² Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!

3

³ What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun?

4

One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays.

5

The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises.

6

Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north, the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds.

7

All rivers go to the sea, yet never does the sea become full. To the place where they go, the rivers keep on going.

8

⁴ All speech is labored; there is nothing man can say. The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor is the ear filled with hearing.

9

What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.

10

Even the thing of which we say, "See, this is new!" has already existed in the ages that preceded us.

11

⁵ There is no remembrance of the men of old; nor of those to come will there be any remembrance among those who come after them.

I suppose people who are blinded by "political correctness" sometimes forget that our nations laws are based on the 10 commandments.

[Borges]

Nothing at all. That's the beauty of private property as opposed to public.

[Blzbba]

"I suppose people who are blinded by "political correctness" sometimes forget that our nations laws are based on the 10 commandments."


Other than the ones about murder, theft, and false witness, which of our nation's laws are based on any of the Commandments? A whopping 30% of the Commandments have been written into law. We have no laws prohibiting the worship of "gods" other than the God of Abraham, for instance.

Coincidentally, godless China also has laws against murder and theft and their legal system has no basis in Judeo-Christian morality.

The sixth commandmant was overruled by the courts a long time ago.

[NYer]

[Borges]

And the prohibitions you mentioned actually predate the Ten commandments and go back to the Code of Hammurabi.

There is this little known law here in AZ which states that if your spouse is cheating on you, with your permission, you can have your spouse and the other person arrested on misdemeanor charges.

I asked the cops if they would arrest my husband and this witch and the cops said there is no such law but I looked it up and emailed my state legislators and sure enough, the law exists.

Even though nothing would come of it, it would at least send a message to the cheaters.

Non-Sequitur,
Thanks for your remarks but there are various versions of the Bible. I assume you are referring to the King James version.
I would hope that you would be in agreement that the original text was not written in English and whatever language, version or translation the meaning is the same.

[AnAmericanMother]

That's the Catholic version . . . they're all there, just in a slightly different numbering system. The Protestants split 1 and combine 9 and 10.

[Wormwood]

I suppose people who are blinded by "political correctness" sometimes forget that our nations laws are based on the 10 commandments.

3 out of 10, actually.

[OneWingedShark]

A sadly true comment on today's socity.

[Wormwood]

Coincidentally, godless China also has laws against murder and theft and their legal system has no basis in Judeo-Christian morality.

Precisely.

The last bunch of folks who enforced the spirit of the Ten Commandments into their laws was the Taliban.

Thanks, but no thanks.

[Celtman]

      Actually, there are three different numberings.  See Arrangements of the Ten Commandments
