The Ten Commandments by Dennis Prager is one of the most influential series I have viewed. These videos have strengthened my faith and deepened my understanding of the Ten Commandments. More specifically, the presentation on the Fourth Commandment struck me. Mr. Prager states that this Commandment is "world binding." This rule from God upholds the fact that there is a loving and caring God. The Fourth Commandment provides people time to bond with friends and family, and rest from work. God loves

Which are “I am the LORD your God, you shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve, you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, remember to keep holy the Sabbath day, honor your father and your mother, you shall not kill, 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 covet your neighbor’s goods.” The 10th commandment “You shall

The Ten Commandments to some may not be important but to the Christian and Native American religion it plays a key role in their beliefs as beings on the earth. They both believe in a greater god, and being honest, but also differ in how the rules are written.

The Ten Commandments, as laid out in Exodus, set most basic rules for every person to follow. They determine the good and the bad, the moral norms. For example, it isn’t morally accepted to kill, to commit adultery. On the other hand, it’s everyone’s moral duty to love God, to love and respect one’s parents (Exodus, 20:3). Jesus bases his teaching upon the same commandments. Talking to his

The ten commandments state, “Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor” as well as “Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife.” (Exodus 20:2-17). The ten commandments are a set of rules which god's citizens will obey. The seventh commandment indicates that adultery is a sin. The ninth commandment articulates that it is unacceptable to lie to another human being.

and after adding to the heavy sense of historical inaccuracy. While the intent of the “Ten Duel Commandments” is to give the modern audience some knowledge on how dueling is done, Lin-Mel Miranda has many things wrong within this attempt.

The film The Ten Commandments (1956) is an American religious film that embodies the yearn for freedom by the Hebrew people who were slaves to the Egyptians. For four-hundred years the Hebrews long awaited a savior that would be sent by God to deliver them to their freedom. Freedom as well as religion during the 1950’s was deemed great value to the American society, for they as well were growing weary of the Soviet communism. The aspects that The Ten Commandments and The Cold War link are beliefs

Changed The Ten Commandments?     What if society had no rules? Mankind would collapse into an environment where crimes were committed and people were wronged everyday. Alternatively, what if society had rules that were formed to meet their leader’s selfish desires, and what if those rules changed whenever they did something wrong? That environment would be horrid and sad, as life was only meant to benefit one person. This is precisely what happens in Animal Farm with their set of commandments. The Seven
