Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
In modern society, we are constantly bombarded with images of beautiful people, celebrities, and conceptional figures. We are exposed to them in the media and through popular culture.
We have the ability to choose how we respond to these figures and people, but only after we allow them into our lives. No one can compel you to love or value what you don’t already.
There are many reasons why Figureheads ought not be created. They represent a country, a government, or an organization and are typically not involved in day-to-day operations.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
It is a violation of the first three commandments to use the Lord’s name in vain. The Lord’s name, however, is very much a part of our everyday language.
We use it when we praise and glorify Him, or when we address someone who has done a good job in their lives. We also use it in prayer and within the Christian faith.
In his book Daniel: The Man Who Wouldn’t Die, Dan Catherson explains that during the time of Daniel, many things were considered commonplace. One such thing was using God’s name in an empty gesture.
He writes: “People would say things like, ‘Please help me tobarbarian gods!’ or ‘Oh my lord!’ or even just ‘The lord.’ That was all they would say-no more than that-no god, no lord, only The lord.
Honour thy father and thy mother
The first three commandments are called the commandments of honour, honour thy father and mother. This includes being proud of what you do and spending time with your family and friends.
In God’s plan, families are to grow together, share responsibilities, and ultimately depend on one another. When one member fails to meet these standards in their family, it shows others that they can trust in God to provide what they need.
The second three commandments are called the commandments of honesty, integrity, and justice. These include being honest with others, being honest with yourself, and living a life of integrity.
In today’s world where everybody is supposed to be perfect, people fail to learn how to live a life of integrity because they don’t have the opportunity or the desire. They need to learn this through Christ so that they can start living a false image before God is only what He requires them to be – righteous.
Thou shalt not kill
It is a crime in every country to kill. Even in cases of self-defense, it is wrong to kill. If someone threatens or harm you, it is your duty to get them out of your house and away from you.
When someone threatens or harm you or your loved ones, you must use a Violence Prevention Program (VPP) to prevent violence. A qualified person should be able to use lethal force if there is no other way to resolve the threat or harm.
The first three Commandments are about non-violence, so are the next three bullet points.
Thou shalt not bear false witness shall not speak out when something harmful is said about someone else. Neither shall ye estrange relationships with others by purposefully withholding information that could lead to problems (deceit will only lead to problems).
Bullet point: Thou shalt not steal may seem like a simple commandment, but it can have an enormous effect on our society and people around us.
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Adultery is a violation of the first three commandments (Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not give your offspring as hostage for forgiveness, and thou shalt not bear False witness against another).
Adultery can happen quickly or suddenly, in an instant or a season. It can be physical or emotional. It is about more than just one person; it impacts future generations.
It is difficult to understand what it feels like to be unfaithful, but hopefully you will understand if someone else is unfaithful to you. You feel ashamed, guilty, and maybe even angry.
When someone is unfaithful to their own husband or wife, the focus often turns to getting a divorce. However, there are ways of dealing with this matter out in the open. There are also ways of supporting someone who has been unfaithful.
Thou shalt not steal
It is very important to be honest with yourself and with others about your money. When you are honest about your finances, you will be happier in the long run.
In fact, a study was recently done showing the benefits of honesty in finances. The study found that people who were more dishonest in their dealings with money were more likely to lose confidence in their own self-worth and in other people’s trustworthiness.
Lies can lead to all kinds of problems, including pride, anger, depression, and anxiety. They can also affect relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
It is not enough to say that you don’t want to spend $10; you must prove that you spent $0 on what you’re supposed to buy. In other words, thou shalt not steal.
Thiefs spend money differently than true Spenders. They rarely look at the long term effects of their spending.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour
False testimony is not only a sin in itself, but it can also lead to a loss of rights such as the right to practice certain religions or provide services for the mentally or physically disabled.
As stated before, bearing false witness refers to the act of describing another person or group of people without properly confirming their identity. This can occur when describing a coin worth $10, reporting that it was silver when it was gold, or reporting someone’s disability when they actually aren’t.
When doing research for an assignment or article, there’s always a risk of bearing false testimony due to the limited amount of people who have actually seen what they described.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house|endoftext|>
It is a sin to desire your neighbour’s house, possessions or honour. This is called coveting or desiring wealth or Honour and it is a Transgression.
It is a Transgressive act to desire what does not belong to you. For example, if someone owned a beautiful house, you could think of buying it but not if it was for sale. Or if it was an expensive car, you could think of just driving it away but not if it was inexpensive because you didn’t want to give up your car!
When we are highly honourable and covetous our neighbours things we need to be careful with our money. We can get very prideful with it which can cause us problems.
We can look at the next few months and see how many things I buy based on how much I paid for them.
