Some have opportunity to learn and are born to loving homes who teach the right way to live.<br />Other children grow up without this instruction. But deep inside you know right from wrong and God touches everyone at one point in time or another when you least expect it. I believe this because it happened to me. I too fought him but he touched me and I suddenly understood. It's amazing.<br />and for this reason I felt, if he touched me, he will touch others in the same way but now I realize that too many people are getting hurt because someone told them them<br />they have freedom and rights before they were mature enough to understand how to use this information. Freedom and rights do not exist unless you know how to live.To know how to live you need either life experience or education.<br />To obtain life experience is becoming too costly a price to pay because less people are being educated these days.<br /><br />We mistake instruction for education. There is a difference.<br />Instruction you get in 4-6 months. Education takes a lifetime.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-11930026980463497422013-04-10T07:38:16.063-07:002013-04-10T07:38:16.063-07:00So freedom lies in these simple 10 Commandments.

Once I became an adult, I had to take responsibility for my life and my actions. I'm so very grateful that God waited for me to turn away from my sin and toward his book of the Law. We are without excuse and his penalty is STIFF for the wicked.<br /><br />Great Post sister friend.<br />Love you!A Free Spirit Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875209868146874354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-7061437948215235642013-04-09T20:02:35.282-07:002013-04-09T20:02:35.282-07:00when government fears the 10 commandments we have ...when government fears the 10 commandments we have to fear gvt, TRUE, TRUEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-67767702991820322652013-04-09T19:19:10.921-07:002013-04-09T19:19:10.921-07:00Russell - The problems you encountered as a child ...Russell - The problems you encountered as a child is exactly the problem that exists with people today.

Just because Europe doesn't want them doesn't mean we shouldn't. We are a multicultural experiment and we succeed because we are basically all the same in the important beliefs.People who come here should have the good will to see this and join in.<br />We always look to Europe because it is older but not anymore.<br />Europe screwed itself badly but we have a chance to pull back and correct things before they get out of hand.People are allowed their beliefs but the reason they are allowed is because of the 10 Commandments. Courts and Judges need reminding as does government, what North America is all about.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-31191518688358367342013-04-09T16:37:44.191-07:002013-04-09T16:37:44.191-07:00Interesting thoughts.

I am not familiar with Canadian law but I know that the Ten Commandments are often allowed in United States courthouses and public buildings.<br /><br />The difficulty is when the Ten Commandments are set out as a special display within a government building as a religious monument or statement more than a historical or literary work. Our Constitution requires that state and religion be separate - actually, our government is not allowed to promote a particular religion at the expense of another.<br /><br />Personally, I think the Ten Commandments are very good overall and serve as an inspiration for proper behavior. I am not so sure how appropriate the first three are -- the ones that definitely have a religious connotation to them -- but certainly the others are very good for all people and are appropriate for any audience or group.<br /><br />Most importantly, we should respect each other's right to believe as we wish to believe regardless of the person's particular religious beliefs.<br /><br />I was raised Catholic and was the only Catholic in a very protestant public school. We stood by our desks each day before lunch and the teacher led us in prayer - often a prayer in a different format than I was used to hearing or saying.<br /><br />I also was raised to make the sign of the cross after a prayer and you can imagine what that was like for a child. My classmates asked me why there were dead babies in my church and I did not understand.<br /><br />I was asked why I worshiped false idols. Again, I did not understand. <br /><br />As I grew older I understand what and why these people asked what they asked -- but it was very difficult as a small child.<br /><br />Still, yes, I agree that overall the Ten Commandments are very good for people to read and follow. Whether or not they belong in a public building or school is another matter.<br /><br />Take care.

It's that they are a Christian commandment. It is common and predictable these days to find people being anti-Christian but allowing all manner of outrage by, for example, Muslims, like Captain Hasan who killed all the soldiers in the Texas cafeteria several years ago, yelling "Alahu Akbar!" (Praise Allah). Remember how Obama made sure to tell us that we should not jump to conclusions that it was a terrorist attack?
