Do you know the 10 commandments? [Spirituality & Religion]

The Ten Commandments-Exodus 20

And God spoke all these words, saying:


“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.

1. “You shall have no other gods before Me.

2. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. [b] For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
[/b]
3. “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4. “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. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

6. “You shall not murder.

7. “You shall not commit adultery.

8. “You shall not steal.

9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
1) Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

2)Do not make any idols.

3)Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.

4)The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock.

5)Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons. No one is to appear before me empty-handed.

6)Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest, you must rest.

7)Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

8)Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign LORD, the God of Israel.

9)Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast and do not let any of the sacrifices from the Passover Festival remain until morning.

10)Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. "Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk."

I always look st this as God’s way of teaching us about our design and what we will do when we operate in our flesh. I don’t look at them as a list of dont’s but God ministering to us about our reality.

Isn't a cross a carved image?
@WeighedDown The earliest Christians didn't use the cross or crucifix as a religious image. Good reasons for that too.

@CopperCicada you know what I know.

@WeighedDown I don't think that God says we can't have pictures or crosses but we should not bow down to them and worship them. We should worship God not an image of God.
