It means that if you are able to obey the first commandment, "thou shall not kill" then you should be able to obey the other nine.

How many people don't know they are breaking the first commandment?

Answer by a CatholicI try to do an Examen either every evening, or first thing in the morning, and, of course, I start with the First Commandment. I would be very, very surprised to know of anyone who does not break this Commandment on a daily basis. For those of you who don't know the Commandments by heart, here is the First Commandment as taught in the Catholic faith: 1. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or 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 or serve them. For I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.How many of us set things before God. If you get up in the morning, and the very first thought that you have, or the first thing out of your mouth is not praise and thanks to God for seeing you through the night, guess what, you've broken this Commandment. If you make up a budget and anything comes before your donation to the Church and charity, guess what? Actually, if you love anything more than keeping all of His Commandments, guess what, yup, you've broken the First Commandment.We are all sinners, saving Our Blessed Lord, and His Blessed Mother. We are all called to repentance and to atone for our sins. The question should then be, "how many people KNOW that they are breaking the First Commandment?"


What is the prohibition in the fourth commandment?

The core idea of the fourth commandment is to keep the Sabbath holy. This is more of a "do" than a "do not", but the rest of the commandment fills in some of the "do nots" to help people fulfill the "do". According to the commandment, the main thing to avoid doing is working on the Sabbath. This prohibition extended to all the members of the family and even guests or "strangers" in your house. The reasoning, which is included in the commandment, is that God made the world in six days, and rested on the seventh, and made it holy, so we should also rest on that day. In the Bible this commandment was taken very seriously, and people were stoned for not following it. Gathering firewood was the first infraction after the Ten Commandments were given on Sinai, and the Sabbath-breaker was stoned for it. There are other similar examples in Scripture, but by Jesus' day, the priests and leaders had invented many additional restrictions to try to keep people from breaking the Sabbath. Jesus attempted to help people understand that these were against God's will. This is why he said things like "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." He was trying to clarify what the religious leaders had made confusing and unnecessarily complex. It isn't so much about what you shouldn't do as about what you should.
