Aren't the 10 commandments the same for all religions?  If not, what are the 10 commandments of your religion.

only religions that follow the books of Moses believe in the Ten Commandments. This is primarily Judaism and Christianity\n\nas for being the same. No they are not. They have the same words but are broken up in different ways to give different meanings\n\nexamples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_commandments#Division_and_interpretation

Hope I'm not out of topic but I joined the Seventh Day Adventist a few months ago.  I believe they observe and follow the bible and teachings of Jesus a lot closer than most denominations do. The Seventh Day Adventist keeps all the commandments including the four one(which alot of denominations ignore) and abstaining from pork and other unclean animals.  So far I am happy being a Seventh Day Adventist and so far I havent seen any major flaws in their doctrine.  I'm on my way to Sabbath School now but I'll definately check out that link to the former Adventist Yahoo group when I get back and view some of the opinions on there.  May God Bless.

Indeed.\n\nI've often though this. For example, the 10 commandments would be pretty impressive if Columbus stepped ashore in the Caribbean for the first time to discover that the native inhabitants had been given by god the exact same 10 commandments in the same order. \nTHAT would be pretty impressive. But no instead he chose to only tell one (probably schizophrenic) man on top of a mountain somewhere in Israel.

All most religions are is a series of laws.  So, the answer to that question is yes, but it works both ways.\n\nMany religous laws were born from political, social or historical events that the church (or leaders) felt the need to address.\n\nMost first year law books on the orgins of law would support you thesis.

Jesus wasn't re-writing the 10 Commandments...He was actually re-inforcing them...BUT He was summing them up into 2 commandments, meaning that we should observe them from our heart...The 2 Commandments are to Love God with all our heart, and to Love one another.\nIf everyone in the world actually did this, would we have the mess the world is in now?\n\nYour addition of: "Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.\n\nDoes this mean we can now covet our neighbor's stuff? \n\nHe also changed "keep Holy the Sabbath Day". Doesn't that mean that it is perfectly fine to work on Sundays?"\n \nYour additional question prompts me to include these commandments into the 2 Commandments that Christ summed all the commandments into......\nIf we love our neighbor, we wouldn't covet our neighbor's stuff...so that fits into Jesus's 2nd commandment, to Love our neighbor as ourself.\nWorking on the Sabbath was not done away with; that Commandment falls into the 1st Commandment re-inforced by Christ, and that is to "Love God"...\nHope this clarify's your understanding of how the Commandments are still in effect, but since Christ came,  we observe them with our whole Heart.

One religion hmmm this is intresting, i guess that i would pick commandments that focused on helping others and promoting a society that attempts to help others, Christanity has some good guidelines in that department, also eastern religions focus on an idividuals place in the world definitly useful. Just stay away from the dietary laws... i like food in general.

the 10 commandments\nhttp://www.islam-usa.com/e70.htm\n\n\nregarding Moses and the Pharaoh read surah Al Baqarah\n\nhttp://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/arabic/002.asp\n\n\nEDIT:\nOh dear, those don't even EXIST in the Quran. First, the "kill all infidels" thing is nothing more than a stupid Lie. \nthere are chapters that speak of battles between the Muslims and the Pagans when the Muslims were a minority and being oppressed. but it never said "kill all infidels" not in that sense.\n\nsecond, the "don't be friends with Jews and Christians" also is bad translation. the verse speaks of time of war, the Arabic word Awliaa was translated by some idiot to mean friends>> it doesn't mean friends, it means Protectors of faith. the idea behind it is when the Muslims made an alliance with the Jews of Madinah, the Jews betrayed them and helped their enemies (pagans) instead. \nevery thing in Islam makes sense and all it takes is the desire to know and understand things first hand.\n\nit's very important to understand the historical events behind those chapters and when you understand the context it will be clear that those verses were only addressing Muslims at that particular time and in that particular event. and NOT to be carried out without the Prophet's authority. \ni as a Muslim understand those things but the lazy majority of non-Muslims won't understand them because they are too lazy to research any thing.\nlike chapter 9 (surah Al Tawbah) which people LOVE  to quote from speaks of the battle of Badr the first battle between the Muslims and the Pagan tribe of Qurish.\n\nthere's a significant difference between the Bible and the Quran.\nthe bible has the word of God, the words of the prophets and the words of the historians all in one book. the Quran is only the words of God revealed to the Prophet and has been preserved in this holy book unchanged ever since. the history is in separate books and the oral traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) is also in other separate books.\n\nand then we have the books which contain the commentary (explanation) of the Quran and the Sunnah.\n\nso i hope you get the idea of what i'm trying to say!\n\npeace

In my opinion it's more than a religion, it's a way of life: what to eat, what to wear, how to pray, how to act when and where, etc. Its Holy Book gives its followers lot of rules. If they like that, it's fine with me.\n\nSome of them interpret the text of their Holy Book literally, the same thing applies to other people in other religions. In that sense they are not different.\n\nHowever I don't like that religions claim things they cannot guarantee. It sounds haughty.

Please remember that the Jewish listing of the Ten Commandments is not the same as the Roman Catholic Ten Commandments, and they are not the same as some denominations of Protestant Christianity. We all look at the same text from Exodus 20:1-17, but divide the verses up differently to make the Ten of the Ten Commandments.\n\n  p.s. 'b' is the right answer, another of the Ten that is very misunderstood, and misrepresented.........

MISTAKE OF ALL THE NATIONS\n\nGod sent Prophets to establish Gods Lordship on earth and people established the Prophets instead of God Our Lord and that is a mega fact which everyone must know because this is the truth which will come up eventually in everybody’s mind on the Day of Judgement.\n\nEveryone knows that God Commands, respect your parents and this Commandment dies with the death of the parents and one can never serve, obey and please his parents after their death in any case. It is a mega fact that the people of the earth are still worshipping the Prophets even after their death and departure. While the concerned commandments died with them and the Commandment concerning God always remains alive because God is Eternal, Holy and Ever-Living, The Creator of life and death. The last mega fact is that the God Our Lord will perish each and everything because everything is mortal and God will remain God even after that.\n\n\nPROPHETS AND THEIR MISSION\n(Mega Facts)\n\nGod Our Lord sent Prophets to establish God and they did so but after them satan came and established the Prophets and malafide their efforts. Therefore, all nations not only consider their Prophets as saviours but also worship them besides God. And hardly know that they are going and doing things against the 1st Commandment:\n“Worship no god but Me!\nDo not make for yourselves images of anything\nIn heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth\nDo not bow down to any idol or worship it\nFor I am the Lord your God and\nI tolerate no rivals.”\n\nTrue religion of God since the beginning of this world is:\nTO BELIEVE IN ONE ALONE GOD___ TO PERFORM GOOD DEEDS___ TO BELIEVE IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AFTER RESURRECTION.\nTrue religion was always the religion preached by all the messengers and true religion was always changed, modified or corrupted after the messengers by the followers of the evil forces under the instructions of Satan. Thus, after one messenger another messenger appeared to correct the false and to preach the truth. In fact all religions of today were one great religion because all religions appeared after the true religion and the true religion was always:\nTO BELIEVE IN ONE ALONE GOD___ TO PERFORM GOOD DEEDS___ TO BELIEVE IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AFTER RESURRECTION.\nAll the messengers preached the same___ before man or idol worship. True followers of the messengers always followed the True religion and there was no difference of message of the messengers.\nFor example:\nJesus preached:-\n1.HONOUR GOD\n2.WORSHIP GOD\n3.SERVE GOD\nAnd today’s Christian leaders preach \n1.Honour God and Jesus\n2.Serve Jesus\n3.Worship Jesus, Holy Ghost and God\nSame is the case with Muslims. Muslims at the messengers’ time believed in God and followed and worshipped God only___ today’s Muslims follow the religion of their leader and call it Islam. Though, messenger Muhammad clearly mentioned the true religion is Islam:\nTO BELIEVE IN ONE ALONE GOD___ TO PERFORM GOOD DEEDS___ TO BELIEVE IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AFTER RESURRECTION.\nOn record is his word that Islam is to believe in God and to remain firm on that. So, even today we believe in the true religion of all nations__ according to the saying of all messengers.\n\nKrishna Jee said to his father:-\n‘Leave worship of all demi-gods and worship One, Alone God Only. Who is the Great Master and to serve whom is the duty of the slaves of God.’\nGod said to Moses:-\n“I__AND I ALONE___AM GOD\nAND ALL OTHER GODS ARE UNREAL.”\nAnd in Quran God says:-\n“I__AND I ALONE AM THE NOURISHER OF THE UNIVERSE.”\nAnd, the word GOD means:-\n1.G___ FOR GENERATOR OF THE UNIVERSE\n2.O___ FOR ORGANIZER OF THE UNIVERSE AND COSMOS.\n3.D___ FOR DESTROYER OF EVERYTHING.\n\nAll Holy Books tell us, that everything will be perished and nothing will be left but The One, Alone God to resurrect all whom God created for the judgement. All the messengers sent to mankind by the Great, AlMighty God__ died but the true relig

When Jesus was asked this question, He replied \n"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."\nMatthew 22:37-40

hold on...let me check.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNope...I just looked at the 10 commandments and there wasn't one that said anything about it.
