The Directives by the Dozen +1 God’s Ten Commandments, Plus 3 Other Charges

We all have heard about the Big Ten, God’s 10 Commandments. Another word for commandments are directives. Directives are defined as something that serves to direct or guide and to cause a strong need to do something toward an action or goal. In the Bible days, God presented His people with over 600 commandments. However, the Big Ten were chiseled in stone and those are the ones people recognize, today. And, for that concept I will take these commandments and apply modern day twists and turns for educational purposes. In no way, am I attempting to rewrite God’s Word, but to educate and enlighten people, on the world’s evolution and recognize a need to change behaviors.
In the next set of posts, I will identify each of God’s Commandments and then relate it to today’s way of thinking. Also, three other charges are identified, that are commanded of God, but not included in the Big Ten.
The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20:3-17 (KJV)

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me…
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image… Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain…
4. Remember the Sabbath day…
5. Honour thy father and thy mother…
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house… thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
