| The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV) |
| 1 | “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods
before Me.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command then
there would have been no riots. |
| 2 | “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness
of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not
bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your
God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on
the children to the third and fourth generations of those who
hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love
Me and keep My Commandments.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
then there would have been no rioting or looting. |
| 3 | “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain,
for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name
in vain.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
there would have been no riots. |
| 4 | “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you
shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work:
you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant,
nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger
who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made
the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and hallowed it.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
there would have been no riots |
| 5 | “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be
long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
they would have learned from their parents to respect others
and themselves, and there would have been no riots |
| 6 | “You shall not murder.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
there would have been no deaths as a direct result of the rioting. |
| 7 | “You shall not commit adultery.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
there would have been greater respect for other people and for
God's laws, and there would have been no riots. |
| 8 | “You shall not steal.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
there would have been no looting and no rioting. |
| 9 | “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
then respect for both life and property of others would have
ensured that there would have been no riots |
| 10 | “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet
your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant,
nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
If those involved in the UK riots had obeyed this command
there would have been no looting and no rioting. |
