Do You Know....
The Ten Commandments

Yes, the Capitol building that houses the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. has the Ten Commandments prominently and publicly displayed...
The Supreme Court doors are engraved with.....The Ten Commandments.....
If these ‘Laws’ were obeyed in our land.....morality, ethics and peace would rule supreme in America.
Yet some people do not even know what ‘they’ are.....
The Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God, Himself, writing them on a stone tablet....
It is God’s Law for a civilized race of human beings and their conduct toward Him and each other. They are found in the 20th Chapter of Exodus as well as in Deuteronomy 5.
I am listing the Commandments ....along with the ‘Southern Paraphrase’ below each one.....for my southern family and friends...

1. I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before Me.
Southern: Just ONE God!
2. You shall not make or worship any idol or graven image.
Southern: Put nuthin’ before God!
3. You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain speaking.
Southern: No ‘cussin’ God, telling tales or gossipin’.
4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it Holy.
Southern: Git yourself to Sunday meeting!
5. Honor your Father and Mother, so that you may live long lives and
all will go well with you...
Southern: Honor yer Ma & Pa...live right and long!
6. Thou shalt not kill.....you shall not murder!
Southern: No killin’....No how.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Southern: No foolin’ around with another fellow’s woman or another woman’s fellow!
8. Thou shalt not steal!
Southern: Don’t take what ain’t yers!
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Southern: Watch yer mouth....
10. Thou shalt not covet..... your neighbor’s house, wife or anything that belongs to your neighbor...
Southern: Don’t be hankerin’ for yer buddy’s ‘stuff’!

Plain and simple isn’t it?
What in heaven’s name.....is wrong with these important reminders being made public and taught to the youth of America?
Decency, honesty, integrity.....ethics of good moral character are all instilled in the living of these laws of ‘governing’ a large society of civilized people....
What is ‘wrong’ with that?
God help us all.....and may God continue to Bless America despite her faults and failures......
It is for this I pray....
