353485
Exo 20:2  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. \nExo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me. \nExo 20:4  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: \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; \nExo 20:6  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. \nExo 20:7  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. \nExo 20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. \nExo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: \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: \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. \nExo 20:12  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. \nExo 20:13  Thou shalt not kill. \nExo 20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery. \nExo 20:15  Thou shalt not steal. \nExo 20:16  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. \nExo 20:17  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.

There are certainly numerical correalations apparent in scripture. There are also 12 main commandments - Mosaical 10, plus the 2 that Christ gave. There are 12 numbers including the number 12 that have specific prophetic symbology. I have more on this study but no time to type it here..if you are really interested email me and I'll send what I have. Love in Christ, ~J~  <><

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.

The 10 commandments are a myth just like most of the parables in the bible.\n\nThey are human constructs designed by the early religious leaders to control the masses through fear-based living.

Exodus 20:4 & 5\nSo that leads to the questions......\nwhy do so many places of worship ignore this command?\nand is God pleased with this practise?\n\n:(

Hello..sweet little child..\n\nGod's Holy word says:\n\nJesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.\n\nYe shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.\n\nThe Ten Commandments also says:\n\nExodus 20\n\n4  ¶ 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 \n5  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\nAs you can see, God's word says NO..\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..your sister In Christ..

The 10 commandments say nothing about going to "church" on "saturdays".\n\nThe word "church" comes from the word "circ" as in "circle" - specifically the word used for a circle of witches.\n\nThe word "saturday" comes in honor of the false god "saturn". \n\nWhy in the world would you think that the Bible would use either of these words?  The commandment is to work 6 day and then rest upon the 7th day and do no work on that day.  It says nothing about coming together as a group at all. In fact, as written, you could fulfill the commandment in its entirety just by staying in bed all day!

You are very right.  When people cut things out of the Bible, they start with Rev  22:18.  ; )  But almost everyone actually just chooses which things to follow, there are VERY few groups that obey everything in the Bible (keeping kosher, not eating shellfish, not allowing men to have long hair, treating their slaves well, etc.).  Really it's all just a buffet.

1. "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery..."\n\n          This commandment is to believe in the existence of God and His influence on events in the world, and that the goal of the redemption from Egypt was to become His servants (Rashi).\n\n   2. "Thou shall have no other gods besides Me... Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..."\n\n          This prohibits belief in or worship of any additional deities or fashioning them.\n\n   3. "Thou shall not swear falsely by the name of the LORD..."\n\n          This commandment is to never take the name of God in a vain, pointless or insincere oath (Rashi). This includes four types of prohibited oaths: an oath affirming as true a matter one knows to be false, an oath that affirms the patently obvious, an oath denying the truth of a matter one knows to be true, and an oath to perform an act that is beyond one's capabilities[citation needed].\n\n   4. "Remember [zachor] the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (the version in Deuteronomy reads shamor, "observe")\n\n          The seventh day of the week is termed Shabbat and is holy, just as God ceased creative activity during Creation. The aspect of zachor (remember) is performed by declaring the greatness of the day (kiddush), by having three festive meals and by engaging in Torah study and pleasurable activities. The aspect of shamor is performed by abstraining from the 39 melachot (forbidden categories of activity) on the Shabbat.\n\n   5. "Thou shall honour your father and your mother..."\n\n          The obligation to honor one's parents is an obligation that one owes to God and fulfills this obligation through one's actions towards one's parents.\n\n   6. "Thou shall not murder"\n\n          Killing an innocent human being is a capital sin.\n\n   7. "Thou shall not commit adultery."\n\n          Adultery is defined as cohabitation with a married woman (Rashi).\n\n   8. "Thou shall not steal."\n\n          This is not understood as stealing in the conventional sense, since theft of property is forbidden elsewhere and is not a capital offense. In this context it is be taken as "do not kidnap" (Rashi).\n\n   9. "Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor"\n\n          One must not bear false witness in a court of law or other proceeding. Lying is forbidden elsewhere and is not a capital offence.\n\n  10. "Thou shall not covet your neighbor's house..."\n\n          One is forbidden to desire and plan how one may obtain that which God has given to another. Maimonides makes a distinction in codifying the laws between the instruction given here in Exodus (You shall not covet) and that given in Deuteronomy (You shall not desire), according to which one does not violate the Exodus commandment unless there is a physical action associated with the desire, even if this is legally purchasing an envied object.

Find it in the Bible.  By the way, why is this question posted under Law & Ethics?

I think the 10 commandments still apply but the things people in the old testament had to do, like sacrifices to forgive sins and going to a priest or the head to talk to God no long apply.  Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice and it says that "No one gets to the father except through me [Jesus]."  Hope that helps.

Yes, Somewhere along the way some people have been misled about the 10 Commandments...They are not unforgivable sins..everyone has and/or will break one or all of them. All we have to do is repent (admit we were wrong, ask forgiveness and make an honest effort not to do it anymore...\nWhere does this belief come from? I had a friend tell me he would never be in heaven because he had broken one of the 10 commandments...God knew when he created them we are not perfect, they were meant to show us our sin so we could repent.

There were 3 objects in the ark of the covenant.  The ark represents our hearts.  In the ark was the stone tablets with the 10 commandments written on them,  that symbolizes that the law is written in our hearts.  The second thing was a jar of manna, which represents that our spiritual food, the word, feeds our hearts and the third thing was Aaron's rod that budded.  I haven't figured out what that represents yet.
