The 10 Commandments were the acts of what not to do according to the Bible. They were stated by God on Mount Sinai to the people of Israel after releasing them from slavery. These Commandments are known to be divine because God stated them himself, in fact he wrote them with his fingers onto a stone tablet which left a powerful meaning. They are also known as a positive law because there is no room for ambiguity. Throughout Exodus 20 Moses restates God’s words of the Commandments to explain them. On the other hand, the Beatitudes were 8 blessings created by Jesus in the Sermon. They were Jesus’s sacred values that he taught to the people that followed and walked with him during his journey. These blessings were at the heart of his teaching.

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.

In the bible, Exodus talks about the ten special rules, which are known as the Ten

According to the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy, the Hebrews were promised that as long as they followed the Ten Commandments that God had given to them through Moses, they would be blessed with prosperity and good fortune. However, if the Hebrews failed to follow God’s instructions, they would be cursed with a plethora of disaster and disease.

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.

It was after the escape, did the followers of Moses wander into a desert. Unified by the laws given from God to Moses. The laws were called the commandments. These commandments that were given from God describe

Although it can be tempting to break one of these laws, I believe that as long as I keep my faith with God and abide by these laws, I won’t have to doubt my future salvation. The Ten Commandments are significant to me because they

     In Exodus 20, God creates moral order. God’s way of separation and categorization is a model for human morality. Morality divides up actions into right and wrong, good and bad. To be moral is to categorize actions and circumstances appropriately and follow the correct rules in each case. The Ten Commandments serve as a guide for human beings to be moral. In disobeying these laws, God is well known to punish, starting with Adam and Eve. God punishes because punishment is necessary in order to create human beings who can be morally responsible for themselves. To be morally responsible, we must be able to do the following things:

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 are located in Exodus (20:2-17NKJV). The Sabbath command is written in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible it reads; “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.

Following the first chapter on the two ways, the Didache’s second chapter is titled “The second Commandment” which does not deal with the second of the Ten Commandments as seen in Deuteronomy 5:6-21 and in Exodus 20:2-17, which deals with not worshipping idols, but rather with the 6th-10th commandments. “You shall not murder.” “You shall not commit adultery.”, “You shall not steal.”, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.” (Deuteronomy 5:13-21). This section of the Didache addresses the morals a Christian should have, do not murder, don’t covet, and so on which can mostly be rooted in the Ten Commandments. Yet

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

The Decalogue The Ethical Decalogue, better known as the Ten Commandments, were the ten religious and moral laws given to the Israelites. It was, and still is, an important role in the solidification for the people of Israel to be in right relationships with both Yahweh and all other peoples. The Decalogue demonstrates the most important core principles of having a right relationship with God and others. In the first version of the Decalogue in Exodus 20: 1-17, Yahweh directly presented the Israelites with the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai. The tone of Yahweh is one of obedience; He asks that the Israelites be appreciative of His rescue from Egypt and in return they be obedient to His commandments.

The Ten Commandments was a very interesting section to read, and it peaked many different questions for me. The ten commandments was taught to me as a child and I interpreted it as the most essential rules stated by God for his followers to abide by. The Israelites were living complete different lifestyles when they learned about these rules, and having the breakdown of them gave me a new perspective. It is interesting to me to think that “honor your father and mother” was not made for kids who misbehaved, but the real meaning was the Israelites lived in a multigenerational community, they were always surrounded by their elders, and the elders held the most honors in society. (Carvalho 102). These elders were given the most honors, for their long lives filled with wisdom, so the creation of this law was not even to correct kids who misbehaved (Carvalho 102). The way we interpret the ten commandments is affected by the society we learn it in, so the rules, although basic, have had many different meanings throughout time.

Next, The Ten Commandments film set the story wholly in the ancient world but was still used to entertain and address modern issues. The Ten Commandments has a place in history and were created to teach the moral limitations and firm basis for obedience of the law. These Commandments can still be used today to teach the ten most historical and influential laws established by the Judeo-Christian God. The Ten Commandments were made very transparent and the intentions were clearly not just to entertain but to inform and teach the difference between dictatorship and
