The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus 20:1-17 NAS. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt.
|
|
|
|
Then God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery."
|
|
|
|
|
I.
|
"You shall have no other gods before Me."
|
|
II.
|
"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."
|
|
III.
|
"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain."
|
|
IV.
|
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do anywork, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy."
|
|
V.
|
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives to you."
|
|
VI.
|
"You shall not murder."
|
|
VII.
|
"You shall not commit adultery."
|
|
VIII.
|
"You shall not steal."
|
|
IX.
|
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
|
|
X.
|
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
|
|

About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day
|
|
|
|
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied:
|
|
|
|
|
I.
|
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:
|
|
II.
|
Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
|
|
|
|
|
A reflective reading of Christ's teaching reveals that the first four commandments given to the children of Israel are contained in the statement: "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." It continues that the last six commandments are enclosed in the statement: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
|
|
|
|
Regarding the 10 Commandments that I gave to you through my faithful servant Moses; what part of, "You shall not...", don't you understand?
I await your reply. You can answer now, or later. As always, the choice is yours.
|
|
PS: As I'm sure you noticed, I didn't call them "The 10 Suggestions" for a very good reason!
- PPS: They weren't multiple choice, either! :-)

 The Interview With God Slide Show
|
|
|
I dreamed I had an interview with God. "So you would like to interview me?" God asked.
"If you have the time", I said.
God smiled. "My time is eternity.
What questions do you have in mind for me?"
"What surprises you most about humankind?"
God answered...
"That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.
That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.
That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.
That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived."
God's hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
"As a parent, what are some of life's lessons
you want your children to learn?"
"To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.
To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.
To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.
To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.
To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.
To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.
To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.
To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said,
"Just know that I am here... always."
