As an analogy, if there were no traffic laws and cars can drive through traffic lights or stop signs without stopping then you would have chaos and many accidents. Because there are traffic laws motorists and pedestrians can safely enter the intersection and cross or drive through without being in fear of ones life. That's an example of freedom by way of a common set of laws. Likewise, the Ten Commandments provide the minimum set of rules where people can live together without being in fear of each other.
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.
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.
because they help us live a better christian life under the influence of god
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.
Commandments 4-10 help us to build up our relationship with other people around us.
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 are the 'rules' that God gave us to live by.
I would say i can be compared to the ten commandments.
Jesus gave only one commandment: To love one another as I have loved you
Religion can provide moral values, Ex: The Ten Commandments
No, the bible never told us how big the ten commandment tablets were- they might not even be stone tablets at all.
