The Ten Commandments
Then
God spoke all these words: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods
before me.
You
shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in
heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your
God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the
third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast
love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my
commandments.
You
shall not make wrongful use of the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will
not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
Remember
the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your
work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do
any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your
livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day;
therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it.
Honor
your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the
LORD your God is giving you.
You
shall not murder.
You
shall not commit adultery.
You shall
not steal.
You shall
not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You
shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's
wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to
your neighbor.

It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our
senses,
worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.

The minute a thing is long and complicated it confuses.
Whoever wrote the Ten Commandments made ‘em short.
They may not always be kept but they are understood.

The
Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he
found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at
their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple,
both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money
changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves,
"Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a
marketplace!" His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for
your house will consume me." The Jews then said to him, "What sign
can you show us for doing this?" Jesus answered them, "Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews then said, "This
temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it
up in three days?" But he was speaking of the temple of his body. After he
was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and
they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
