How many of the Ten Commandments can be found in the laws of US?
A:There is no historical connection between US law and the Ten Commandments, and none of the Ten Commandments is really found in the laws of the United States. The constitutional requirement for separation of state and religion preclude inclusion of the first three commandments, which require believers to worship God only, or the fourth, which requires religious observance of the Sabbath. The fifth commandment tells us to honour our parents, which is a commandment more about family relations than law.The next four commandments are concerned with prohibiting murder, adultery, theft and false witness, but only as general statements. The tenth commandment can be defined as dealing with protecting property rights because it tells us not to covet the property of our neighbour, but it does not tell us how to sue a person just for thinking these things.United States law is based on the principles of British common law, law of tort and legislation passed by Congress and at all times subject to change by the Congress - it is not based on the Ten Commandments.
How the Ten Commandments influence the development of the US legal system and how?
The Ten Commandments have influenced the development of the US legal system by providing a moral foundation that has shaped societal values and ethical standards. Many of the principles found in the Commandments, such as prohibitions against murder, theft, and false testimony, are reflected in American laws. While the legal system is secular, these moral underpinnings contribute to the broader cultural and ethical context in which laws are created and enforced. Additionally, discussions around the Commandments have sparked debates about the role of religion in public life and law, influencing judicial interpretations and legislative actions.

How do the ten commandments help us follow Jesus?
The ten commandments in my view help guide our values. The ten commandments help us to make the right decisions as we face challenging situations in which we may break them. I also believe that these commandments help us to recognize those who love us most, for example "Honor thy mother and father" is a way of telling us to love and care for our parents who have done so much to ensure our safety and development. These commandments have served a great purpose for much of humanity for over 2000 years, and they still survive to this day for the purpose of guiding us.
