how about the 10 commandments?\n\nExo 20:2  [#1]  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. \n\nExo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me. \n\nExo 20:4  [#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. \n\nExo 20:5  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; \n\nExo 20:6  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. \n\nExo 20:7  [#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. \n\nExo 20:8  [#4]  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. \n\nExo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: \n\nExo 20:10  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: \n\nExo 20:11  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. \n\n[Note:  The "sabbath day" being referred to here is the Hebrew/Israel/Jewish sabbath day [the seventh (7th) day of the week, Saturday], that begins Friday at sundown, and continues until Saturday at sundown.] \n\nExo 20:12  [#5]  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. \n\nExo 20:13  [#6]  Thou shalt not kill. \n\nExo 20:14  [#7]  Thou shalt not commit adultery. \n\nExo 20:15  [#8]  Thou shalt not steal. \n\nExo 20:16  [#9]  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. \n\nExo 20:17  [#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. \n\nExo 20:18  And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. \n\nExo 20:19  And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. \n\nExo 20:20  And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. \n\nExo 20:21  And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. \n\n~ Idols and Altars \n\nExo 20:22  And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. \n\nExo 20:23  Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. \n\nExo 20:24  An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. \n\nExo 20:25  And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. \n\nExo 20:26  Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

The law is/was a measuring rod to help guide us away from the things that make us unhappy, and toward those things that bring us peace and contentment.\n\nBy living according to the law, Jesus fulfilled the law within what it's purpose was, but those same guidelines are still valid now, for everyone.\n\nThis I believe http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

1) You shall have no other gods before me\n2) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain\n3) You shall make no graven images\n4) Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy\n5) Honor your father and mother\n6) You shall not murder\n7) You shall not steal\n8) You shall not comitt adultry\n9) You shall not bear false witness\n10) You shall not covet your neighbors house, wife, servants, oxen or anything that belongs to them.\n\nNot bad.  Take about 2 1/2 minutes to type with looking anything up.  Yes, there are people who know the Bible.

I believe that God has given us some absolute moral laws, but that He is flexible in many areas.  We really have to study the Bible and pray over it. \n\nWe are all individuals with very unique situations going on in our lives. Yes, there are some laws that absolutely must be obeyed,\nbut other than those God deals with us as individuals and the answer to one's person's dilemna may not be the same as the answer to a person  with a similar dilemna. Deep communication with God is the key.

Not that i can really claim that i speak for God but one of the functions of having a set of laws could very well be to create a necesity for reconcilation. Until there are rules to be broken its hard to really know one is screwing things up isnt it?. Until people realize they are flawed and that they fall short it is a little bit more difficult to understand why exactly we need to change from the course we are on. Also its hard to realize that there may be something different (better?) out there for us. Its hard to understand that there is a God humanity may fall short of and thusly need in their lives without a set of Laws.

In the new testament, Jesus himself says that the laws of the old testament are still binding to Christians.\n\n“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished.  Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”  (Matthew 5:18-19)

I generally despise Bible quotes as answers, but I think this one might be appropriate:\n\n(Exodus 32:27-29) and Moses told them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword on your hip, everyone of you!  Now go up and down the camp, from gate to gate, and slay your kinsmen, your friends and neighbors!"  The Levites carried out the command of Moses, and that day there fell about three thousand of the people.  Then Moses said, "Today you have dedicated to the Lord, for you were against your own sons and kinsmen, to bring a blessing upon yourselves this day."\n\nMoses had 3,000 of his own people executed in one day.  What a wonderful person.  We should all be just like him ...\n\n... or maybe not.

rachell12 is right, but you might also want to put the bible you are citing from, like NIV (New International Version), KJV (King James Version) insider of the parenthesis as well.  Like: God is Loving (John 23:2  NIV)   Not an actual bible verse, sorry. \n\nI learned this when I was a legal steno and had to type lots and lots of motions with cites from law books.  Yuck!

It also says that God is VERY angry.  The bible clearly describes how he brought plagues, floods, and firestorms to kill thousands of people.  He also had millions more killed in the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Holocaust.  In the Bible people are supposed to be stoned for violating any one of the hundred biblical laws.  If the church got its way then very few of us would still be alive.  It is a good thing they lost the power to execute people at will without any justification.  I hear the church is still bitter about that fact.

its amazing to me that christinans say that the Torah has been in some way fulfilled when the Bible clearly states that it is a eternal decree for the nation of Israel for all generations. As for the Ten Commandments they do not follow them. It says to keep the sabbath it also says not to light a fire in your home on the sabbath. I do not know of a single Christian that obstians from doing that. Oh and the commandments the Jews have are 613 biblical Commandments. \n\nand yes everyone should study the 7 noacide laws.

Law, in its first form, was a set of guidelines given by God to help you stay spiritually healthy.\n\nLaw, now, is a bent-out-of-shape, useless, piece of RED-TAPE.\n\nYeah. Thats law.

Grace(not law) unto you, and peace(not division),\nfrom God our Fathe and the Lord Jesus Christ.\n\nThe law is not of faith: Gal 3:12\n\nRe: children, the exhortation is:\n"Forbid(law) them not"\n(Mt 19; Mk 10; Lk 18)\n\nFor law is spiritual, but it's spiritual abuse.\nAnd the law is good, but it is also evil.\nDiscern(avoid) both good and evil.\n\nLaw worketh wrath: Rom 4:15\nWe are delivered from the law: Rom 7:6\nWe are to put away wrath(law): Eph 4:31\nGod hath not appt'd us unto wrath(law): 1Thes 5:9\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

You ask which "should" be the final set of rules to govern how we live in the USA. The clear implication is that you seek a value judgment, rather than a legal analysis. \n\nThe legal analysis is obvious -- the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The Bible is a religious text with no legal authority. \n\nHowever, if you believe that the Bible is the revealed, literal word of the Almighty, then clearly you have no choice but to prefer its dictates to the Constitution or any other man-made law. But, this is only the personal opinion of the believer. There is no object proof of the existence of God, nor can there ever be, because if God were provable by any scientifically valid experiment, God would instantly cease to be supernatural, i.e., cease to be God. \n\nSo, the answer is, that until God returns and demands that we follow His supreme laws, we must follow our own, and hope that our choices in making those laws are sufficiently wise to please the Lord of all hosts. \n\nIf not, then I'm fairly certain He will let each of us know in time.

How about taking that quotation a bit further- includsing the verses that come afterwards...\n\n"18. I will set up a prophet for them from among their brothers like you, and I will put My words into his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him.\n19. And it will be, that whoever does not hearken to My words that he speaks in My name, I will exact [it] of him.\n20. But the prophet who intentionally speaks a word in My name, which I did not command him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.\n21. Now if you say to yourself, "How will we know the word that the Lord did not speak?"\n22. If the prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, and the thing does not occur and does not come about, that is the thing the Lord did not speak. The prophet has spoken it wantonly; you shall not be afraid of him."\n\nand let us not forget from Deuteronomy, Chapter 13\n\n"1. Everything I command you that you shall be careful to do it. You shall neither add to it, nor subtract from it.\n2. If there will arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,\n3. and the sign or the wonder of which he spoke to you happens, [and he] says, "Let us go after other gods which you have not known, and let us worship them,"\n4. you shall not heed the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of a dream; for the Lord, your God, is testing you, to know whether you really love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul."\n\nYep- no prohpet can change the law of God- it is eternal and even somebody doing miraclkes is just a test- and one you pass by ignoring them!
