As far as I know there are only two of the Commandments that are still laws,
1. Do not kill
and
2. Do not steal
The other Commandments are not technically "illegal" having adultery is not a wise decision if you are married (it would be retreating from your wedding vows) and would be grounds for divorce but you cannot get arrested for it.
The first four Commandments specifically deal with Christianity while the last six deal with how we interact with one another
GOD gave us ten laws to live by called the ten commandments.
The Ten Commandments are important because they are the laws God handed down to Moses on Mt. Sinai. The Old Testament had over 600 laws, but after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Ten Commandments in the New Testament were the new laws for us to live by.

The Ten Commandments were for the Jews. And they were to live righteously and be a witness for the rest of the world. The law was only to Jews. you couldn't even read them if you didn't read and understand Hebrew.
The Ten Commandments contain universal moral codes that can be found in almost all religions. It has been said that they are largely a repetition of the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi and the Hindu Vedas, among others. Where they do differ is in commanding that the Jews have no other god before me [God].
Assuming this is a satirical question, a possible answer would be the Code of Federal Regulations.
The first time it was recorded was with Moses, but there is evidence that the ten commandments were given before that. For instance, the bible tells us that the people kept the sabbath before the ten commandments were given.
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.
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.
No, the Ten Commandments were given to us for all eternity. God knew what commandments we would need and knew there would be no need to update them. Besides, when you think about it, they pretty much cover everything as they are now.
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.
The US. If you look at the Ten Commandments, they are all laws. Most countries are like this since most countries formed with popular religions.Middle Eastern Countries especially do.
