I often wonder why it is that people oppose the Ten Commandments.
What is so wrong with them?
Is it not a blessing to have a day of rest?
Is it not wise to have laws that say you shall not kill, commit adultery, steal, and bear false witness against somebody.
Are not the bulk of crimes (and debt) in your country and ours the result of covet(ing) our neighbour's (bigger) house, wife, servants, nor his ox (read car or machinery), and other things that are our neighbour's?
The problem of course is that " I am the LORD thy God, .... You shall have no other gods before me." That is what the opponents don't like.
Nor this bit ... "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain" and they prefer to ignore the warning "The LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain."
Hollywood, and film producers worldwide, must hate them (one supposes) as their whole trade is built on breaking the Commandments of the Lord our God. Crime, adultery and its tragic result, blasphemy, covetousness, stealing, murder, bearing false witness and more are the stock in trade of Hollywood, and others like them.
The reality is, of course, that God has ordained are such laws and commands whether mankind likes them or not.
Judgement will one day come form the Lord, but breaking the commands automatically brings a judgement here and now.
In my broader family I have seen the dreadful judgement that adultery brings to a family - its destructive force extends far beyond the participants, and it is the innocents who suffer dreadful loss and ongoing pain.
And some of us watch it on TV every day!
Brothers and sisters, this should not be so.
The Ten Commandments are wonderfully wise and we should promote them when and were we can.
