If people followed the Ten Commandments, would there be less pain and suffering today

If people followed the Ten Commandments, would there be less pain and suffering today?

Certainly,putting the religious connection aside,they contain some real basic common sense rule for a civil lifestyle,the base for a happy life.

I'll agree that the one saying don't lie, cheat, steal, or kill are a good way to go, but the "worship me" ones leave a little something to be desired when the instruction manual calls for pouring molten gold down throats or stoning people to death for saying a piece of halibut is good enough for Jehovah as a fit and proper punishment for disobeying them.

NOBODY can follow the 10 commandments. Only one perfect Being could do that..and he was murdered on the cross.

We can all try...but I don't believe anyone can actually follow them all without falling off the proverbial bandwagon.

G-D said that none of the laws from the Torah are beyond our reach.

is the letter o broken on your keyboard?

Yes. How did you know?

If everyone simply followed Jesus' call in John 13:34, there'd definitely be a lot less pain and suffering...

G-D said that none of the laws from the Torah are beyond our reach.

And yet everyone has sinned. Wouldn't that mean that the very best of the law keepers, still fall short? As far as I know no one else except Christ fulfilled the law.
The fact that Christ was able to means it is attainable by man, but no one else has achieved perfection in the law, that I know of.

I was following them for years and never even knew it. Didn't do anything for me.

G-D created us. He knows we are human. He doesn't expect us to be perfect.

Why would you think he would set up us to fail?

Does G-D get mad if you type his name?

I'd say yes! especially if you can't spell a three letter word!
