After watching the Ten Commandments on TV last night it reminds me of how God, the creator of the earth and he stars, who created man in his own image, was not having one of his better days when he wrote the Ten Commandments. I could have done a better job
I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
So god wrote the ten commandments in response to Moses leading the Hebrews out of Slavery
1.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Good commandment, all God needed to say about himself
2.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Kind of creepy actually. God hunting down your children and childrens children for making a graven image. Makes all Catholics sinners. Throw it out
3.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
unworthy of a God. Don't call me names! Someone as big as god should be able to take it. Throw it out
4.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
. God should realize that you should not order people to worship you. A great God will draw people to worship. Throw it out
5.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Good commandment, but I could make it better
6.
Thou shalt not kill.
No brainer, keep it
7.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
No brainer, keep it
8.
Thou shalt not steal.
No brainer, keep it
9.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
No brainer, keep it but be clear to apply to all lying
10.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Makes no sense. If you covet his wife and do something about it, that is adultery. If you covet his ass (love that one) and take it, that is stealing. But coveting can be good. If I covet your house and work hard to get one like it, that is good. If I covet your ass, I can work hard and offer to buy it from you. Throw this one out
