A:Jews would say that the Ten Commandments are for Jews, but that it is good for others to follow them. Many Christians would say they are for everyone, since they believe there is only one God and therefore everyone should obey him.


Certainly, the Commandments do contain some sound moral guidance, if only in such broad outline that it is arguable whether someone can really base his or her moral behaviour on theTen Commandments. The first four

Commandments are not for atheists, Buddhists or others who do not follow one of the Abrahamic religion, since for them God does not exist. Many would also be uncomfortable with the

Tenth Commandment and its requirement not to covet a neighbour's male or female slaves; believing that no one should 'own' slaves.

The Ten Commandments are considered moral guidelines for all people, regardless of their faith or beliefs. They emphasize principles such as respecting parents, not stealing or killing, and not coveting others' possessions. Many societies and religions view these commandments as universal moral truths.

Why doesn't everybody know the Ten Commandments?

The source of the Ten Commandments is in the Jewish Torah (Exodus ch.20), from which they were adopted by Christianity and, to a significant degree, by Western society in general. However, many people are aware of these Commandments but haven't learned them well enough to know them by heart.In Islam, the Ten Commandments are present to some degree. Several of the Ten Commandments have their parallels in passages in the Qur'an; and the Qur'an refers to the Torah (as a whole) as being God-given (for the Jews).Other people, however, may or may not have heard of the Ten Commandments, especially in parts of the world where Christianity and Judaism constitute a small minority.See also:More about the Ten Commandments
