"Thou shalt not commit murder...Correct me if I'm wrong , I'm just a poor country boy.
"

That became law here when laws prohibiting murder were passed. Every society I know of has laws against murder.

Of the 10 Commandments, three are law in the united states. Three.

There are lots of laws in the Old Testament. Most have no relevance to US law. The dietary laws, for example, are simply not reflected in our laws.

We do not stone people to death for adultery here in the USA, although that is Old Testament law.

Our laws are those which have been enacted by our legislative bodies. Other laws do not apply.
