Why wouldn't God want us to have other gods?
Slow down there, turbo dog. It doesn't say to not have other gods, it says to have no others before him. Other gods are fine.
God is saying, you don;t need something concrete to worship me and to talk to me, you can do that anywhere, because I am God Almighty.Are you forgetting pole with the snake or the temple? Interesting.
Even the way we act with someone can be misusing the name of God by our actions. As Christians, we are called to represent the name of God.
Jesus endorsed slavery and rape. Is that a good way to represent God? If not, are you disagreeing with Jesus?
Going back to creation week, God blessed, sanctified, and made the Sabbath Holy.
God rested from all the work he had done. God rested. Why would God rest? Was he tired? God and run low on energy after doing work? Interesting idea. God can work hard and need a nap. Interesting that you endorse the idea that he is not all powerful. If he was, he would not need to rest.
Honoring and respecting our parents is something that we need to practice.
Are you suggesting that a parent who smokes and drinks around their kids and physically abuses them should be honored? There are no qualifications to this, so the obvious answer would be that yes, you do. If not, are you suggesting there be amendments to the commandment that God didn't think of?
God is protecting us from murdering another human being.
The commandment is not to not murder. The word associated with means slaying, killing, murdering or destroying. Still, not murdering is a good idea, but hardly unique or a novel ideal originating with the 10 commandments.
How many families are being destroyed in these days because a wife or husband decided to go and get with another married person.
Have you read the Bible? Patriarchs were horning it up with temple concubines, sleeping with women not their wives and sleeping with their wives servants ALL THE TIME and with God's approval. Adultery doesn't require both parties to be married. God approved of that all the time. In fact, polygamous marriages were also something God supported. It seems more like the rule was not "don't commit adultery" but rather "don't bone another man's property".
SIMPLE, DO NOT STEAL WHAT BELONGS TO OTHERS
Or, you know, don't do exactly what God commanded the Israelites to do? Don't steal except when it's OK?
If you have nothing good to say about someone, you shouldn't say it at all.That's not at all what the commandment says. However, not lying is a good idea, except when it is. Like if you're being questioned by Nazi's as to where some Jews are hiding or when Jesus said he would be back before the people standing in front of him were all dead. Unless he didn't realize he wouldn't...
Still, lying has it's place.
Let's be blessed for what we have right now. If you only have 5 dollars for the week, make the best of that
Yes, the poor mother who can't feed or clothe her children should be happy with what she has and thank Jesus for it.
The ten commandments are a testament to Gods love for us. Why don't people view them like this? I'm not sure.
Well, now you have the information you need to be sure why not.
**Edited to add*** Oh, and on adultery, God was totally against it, except that time he got busy with another man's fiancee, a virgin no less.
