I just realized "thou shall not steal" is in the 10 Commandments..?

It is written, "Lean not on thine own understanding" Trust in the Lord... Christ - the Word. Obviously, don't give anything to trolls... don't throw your pearls before swine. Contribute to those in need, as the Lord directs.

The Ten Commandments were 10 laws written on stone by God personally and given to Moses. These laws concerned man's relationship with God and also with each other.\n\nPerhaps you are referring to the New Testament passage Mark 12:13-17 13 Paying Taxes to Caesar \n\nThey sent some Pharisees and followers of Herod to bait him, hoping to catch him saying something incriminating. 14 They came up and said, "Teacher, we know you have integrity, that you are indifferent to public opinion, don't pander to your students, and teach the way of God accurately. Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" \n\n15 He knew it was a trick question, and said, "Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it." 16 They handed him one.\n\n"This engraving — who does it look like? And whose name is on it?"\n\n"Caesar," they said. \n\n17 Jesus said, "Give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his."\n\nThis passage indicates that it is correct to pay taxes if you are a citizen of a country (or state) and the governemt levies taxes of all people.

Why stick even with the 10 Commandments?  All we need are the two commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your mind, all your heart, all your soul, and all your strengh; love your neighbor like yourself.  And as Jesus says, this is just a condension of the entire rest of the Bible.  So you could take the rest of the Bible or leave it, the message still ought to be the same.  It shouldn't change Christianity, and to a large degree I think it wouldn't; people would just keep on doing what they've always done.

You're discussing things on two different levels. Morality and justice are correlated obviously, but not the same thing. The 10 commandments are supposed to be individual standards of morality not laws. For example, is it MORAL to constantly belittle someone and make them cry? No, but it is not illegal.\n\nThere *are* laws about adultery, not because it is morally wrong but because it breaks a legal contract. (These laws are obviously not really enforced that often.)\n\nThere *are* laws about keeping the Sabbath day holy (e.g. you can't buy liquor in some places on Sunday), but these types of laws are becoming more obsolete.

The first part of the Ten Commandments are related to the dignity of God which Jesus summed up with, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength."\n\nThe second part of the Ten Commandments are related to human dignity which Jesus summarized with, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" and "Love one another even as I have loved you."\n\nAs Paul wrote to the Romans, "Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."\n(Rom 13:8-10)\n\nWith love in Christ.

I'm a Christian. I know that doesn't mean much, but I try my hardest to honor and love the Lord.\nI'm also an American who believes the Constitution of the United States. \n\nHere's my take: \nWe should not allow the 10 Commandments to be posted in Government buildings. It violates the Bill of Rights, specifically the establishment clause in the First Amendment. Just like the Second Amendment should not be violated, the First Amendment should not be violated. The Decalogue are holy laws and moral laws if you're Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. The judicial branch of the government, like the Constitution, must (I repeat MUST) remain secular.\n\nHere is the text of the 10 Commandments:\n\n1. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.\n\n2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.\n\n3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything 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.\n\n4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.\n\n5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long.\n\n6. Thou shalt not kill.\n\n7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.\n\n8. Thou shalt not steal.\n\n9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.\n\n10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's. \n\nMy take is that there are only 3 of the Holy Commandments that are enforcable: 6, 8 and 9. The rest are moral laws and would never be prosecuted in a United States court. If they were, the United States would look more like Afghanistan under the Taliban. Thankfully, we have the Constitution to make sure that never happens. Besides killing, stealing and lying, the rest of the Laws are moral laws that, if prosecuted and found guilty, would be deemed unconstitutional. \n\nPlacing the 10 Commandments in a U.S. Court building, which should be secular, should never happen because it puts one (or, I guess, three) religions above the people. \n\nWhatever you believe, the Constitution is there to protect us. \n\nI, personally, live by the 10 Commandments, because that's what my Lord wants, and I could never repay the debt. But that doesn't mean that we all have to.

Right on the nose!!!\nMatthew 22: 34-40: The Great Commandment.

yes, the 8 fold path is much more profound in my view as well.  all of the 10 commandments could be contained in just a few of the 8 guidelines.  right action and right view would probably cover those 10.  to me, there's something much more attractive about a suggestion than a command.

Not obeying God's Word.\n\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.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you felt you needed to ask that. rofl. Do you seriously think you need permission to tidy your lady(or man) garden?\n\nI should think it's alright. Unless the 11th commandment is 'Though shall not shave thy pubes' or it condemns the removal of pubic hair somehwere in the bible .....

Nope,it's one of those passages that I disagree with.What you quoted was one of many unethical verses in the bible.I don't believe or follow everything I read.
