I see nothing wrong with the Ten Commandents, myself, but I am biased, lol! The ten commandments, upon a closer look, appears to be divided into two sections: those commandments dealing with our relationship/Love for God (Thou shall have no other gods before me, Thou shal not take the name of the Lord in vain, etc) and our relationships/Love for each other (Thou shall not steal, thou shall not kill, honor thy father and mother, etc). So it's all about our relationship with God and man. Jesus simplified the commandments with (Love God, and your neigbor)

Seems reasonable to me, as I think God is Love. I suppose the fact that they are said to be 'commandments' throws some people off. I look at them as very good rules to follow. Some get them, some don't. I think seperation of church and state is needed, but this kind of moral code is harmless, imo.

As for what the Bible says God would do if you broke the commandents...Who hasn't broke them, and has God done anything of the sort? You have to understand that much of it has to do with political power, even back then, and what better way to control then use fear? Espescialy among the already God fearing masses...

I view the commandents as a good moral code, even with the reference to God. It works for me simply because I value Love...


Much Love,
