Compared To The Ten Commandments

There are many commandments in America. Most of them are very important in our society. Some are written rules, and some are unwritten. They go from not stealing to saying bless you. All Americans should follow these seven commandments to show that they have respect and manners.

   In the Bible, God commands Moses to go up Mount Sinai to receive divine instruction.    When he comes back, his people, the Israelites, have gone crazy.  They have forgotten Moses, and forgotten their God.  They form their own god, a golden calf, and build an altar.  They even had a festival for the golden calf.  "Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and sat down to indulge in revelry" (Exodus 32:6).  Moses then went down the mountain and got so angry that he smashed the tablets with the Ten Commandments on them.   The Israelites lost faith because they could not see the God they were worshipping, so they forgot him and began worshipping a false idol.  The Israelites are not very

My opinion the ten commandment was to display us how negligent we are and how severely in need of a savior we are. The Ten Commandments were never given as a set of guidelines to live by. They were given to show us our utter failure in the eyes of God. I think people do in general have the correct perception of the original purpose of the Ten Commandments as a covenant. There is a pattern to the covenant found in the bible. People been using the Ten Commandment to identify to people what they shouldn’t do.

The Ten Commandments are regarded as the fundamental laws that all Christians are to conform to. They were written by the hands of God himself and revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai, inscribed on two stone tablets. They offer basic rules of behaviour for spiritual and moral living to Christians. These laws still instruct Adherents today, for they expose sin and show us God's standard. Without the sacrifice of Christ, Adherents are completely helpless to live up to God's holy standard.

Have you ever thought of how and what made everyone want to follow the law nowadays? Hammurabi’s code and the Ten Commandments were two early (not the earliest) codes of law that were used in the ancient times as methods of justice, both of the laws shaped society then and now. Hammurabi’s code goes back to ancient Mesopotamian culture that flourished way before the Bible was written or the Greek and the Roman civilizations had even developed. Hammurabi made a collection of 282 laws that established values of manner and justice for keeping order in his kingdom. God engraved the Ten Commandments on stone tablets that were given to Moses and the population of Israel. Even though the code and the commandments

The Ten Commandments and the Native American code of ethics are very much alike. You can connect the commandment “I am the Lord Your God, You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve, with the native American ethic rise with the sun to pray, pray alone, pray often, the Great Spirit will listen if you only speak. You can also relate the commandments “you shall not covet your neighbors wife, you shall not covet your neighbors goods, and you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor with the Native American ethics “be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance” , “respect all things that are placed upon this earth-whether

Regarding the ninth commandment, I have one story. When I visit a visa adviser, she recommended that when I get into Canada border in an airport, it is better to write the purpose of visiting Canada is to meet relatives. However, my real purpose is to study in Canada, but she informed me to write differently because if I write honestly, then many problems could happen. Then, how can I do? Do I take a risk for being honest, or do I lie for safe entry? I had an uncomfortable feeling, then I asked Pastor Song about this issue. He made me think how I am a terrible sinner and how we are living holy in Christ. Then, there are three lessons for what we keep God’s law perfectly is impossible related to the ninth commandment

Instead of considering the community as a large part of religion like the ancient Chinese, the ancient Egyptians thought of the Pharaoh as being a major piece of their religion. The pharaoh was thought to be the divine being who was chosen by the Gods for the duty of maintaining stability within Egypt. Moreover, the pharaoh ruled according to the chief principle known as Ma’at. Ma’at was an ideal that conveyed the ideas of harmony, justice, right order, and truth. As the pharaoh was held to these high standards of good behavior, the ancient Egyptians

In the bible God gave Moses the 10 commandments and told him that his followers should obey every single commandment written on those slabs. Today in

The Ten Commandments were what all other laws were based off of and were to be taken with much seriousness. Disobeying the Ten Commandments was punishable by death not matter who they were. When a person was found breaking rules of the Bible they would either be hanged or put in prison. Since every person in the community agreed with these punishments, no one

Whatever its precise content, the law was carried-out with an ideal in mind, one encompassed by the Egyptian term “Ma’at.” No single word can be easily used to translate ma’at into English. Ma’at is really a term used express the ideals of justice, order, and truth among other terms. The king, as head of state and a god incarnate, was to maintain Ma’at (Shupak 15). Ma’at is also personified as a deity who serves as the patron goddess of the courts of justice (Erman 139).

Picture a king so ahead of his time and so powerful that he was aware of the importance and sense of urgency behind establishing laws to ensure the growth of civilization and humanity. His name was Hammurabi and he was the king of Babylon. He reigned from 1792 B.C. all the way to 1750 B.C. As an innovative and feared king he created 282 laws for everyone to follow, as gruesome as "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" and as political as ranking people from nobles to slaves and everything in between, he started a new era for Central Mesopotamia then, and all of humanity now. (Edgar et al) As unimaginable as it sounds for someone to come up with a simple 282 laws for a just way of living; at a later time in Egypt there was someone else coming up with a more spiritual way of life. The Ten Commandments, although history says that Moses discovered the stone some time in 1400 B.C., 300 years after, it has been said that these commandments were known about since the beginning of time from a Higher Power. Moses was a former Egyptian prince and later became a Prophet. The bible quotes Moses as one of the greatest Prophets of history. Facing Pharaoh Ramses and freeing the Jews from slavery, he was one of the most important religious leaders of all time. These commandments explain a better

No matter which time period we look back into, society has largely opposed the ethical standards of the Bible. Since the beginning of time, with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, man has disobeyed God. Only a few generations after the Creation, man had become so wicked that God destroyed all but one family. Each era since the Flood has had a level of disobedience and opposition to the Bible’s standards. Some have held closely to those standards. Some have been blatantly opposed. The society in which we live today in America is not only blatantly opposed, but takes great satisfaction in mocking those who hold close to the Bible. These groups of people want their standards to be those of all society.

For some reason back in the fifties the bible was a good source for movies, and you have to understand one of the reasons will be found in the strength of genre movies. “For the director, there were certain advantages with working within a given genre. Because the characters, the plot, and the conventions were already established, they provided the director with a kind of cinematic shorthand greatly simplified the task of storytelling.” (Boggs, M., Petrie, D., 2008 7th Ed.) The original movie was shot in 1923 as a silent film which was also directed by Cecil Demille. The cast of the 1956 remake of the Ten Commandments were cast from the original silent film. The production of this film was good for that time period. The production crew had it easy when it came to the cast, due to most of the cast came from the original film from 1923. The props, scene, and setting that the production crew used were great, for an example in the film Ten Commandments, the scene with Moses bringing down the ten commandments from the mountain top after talking with God. When you look at that scene the production crew does a good job with the dark clouds and the fire like orange colors in the setting of the clouds. The mountain that was in the back ground of Moses really stood out in that scene, when Moses gave the ten commandment to the children of Israel, he stood on the mountain and with his red over garment blowing in the wind

Exodus and Deuteronomy are very similar in many aspects. They both include the Decalogue of the 10 commandments and with only minor differences. The only major difference is the wording of the commandment of keeping the sabbath day holy. In Deuteronomy it states, “You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day” (Deuteronomy 5:15). Deuteronomy includes the slaves when keeping the sabbath day holy, because the Israelites were once slaves before Moses led them out of slavery.
