Remember these...

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Exodus 20 2-17


1. I am the LORD your God,
who brought you out
of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.

2. You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself a graven 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 or serve them;
for I the LORD your God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children to the third and the fourth
generation of those who hate me,
but showing steadfast love to thousands of those
who love me and keep my commandments.

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.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to 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;
in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son,
or your daughter, your manservant,
or your maidservant or your cattle,
or the sojourner who is within your gates;
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
and rested the seventh day;
therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.


5. Honor your father and your mother,
that your days may be long in the land
which the LORD your God gives you.


6. You shall not kill.


7. You shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not steal.

9. You shall not bear false witness
against your neighbor.

10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house;
you shall not covet your neighbor's wife,
or his manservant, or his maidservant,
or his ox, or his ass,
or anything that is your neighbor's.

I guess I never noticed this before or never gave it thought... what does this mean?:

for I the LORD your God am a jealous God,

--> visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children to the third and the fourth
generation of those who hate me,

Any thoughts?

[Terry Frysinger]

The fifth commandment is also confusing. Should a little girl that is molested by her drug addict father honor him? If she doesn't will she go to hell?

megsing3... God is not jealous of those who honor Him by their lives that glorify Him!

Think about the definition...

in·iq·ui·ty/iˈnikwitē/
Noun:
Immoral or grossly unfair behavior.
Synonyms:
injustice - inequity - wrong - evil - wickedness

Think about the behavior of your parents and how it affected you and your life. Did you follow in the same path/behavior patterns as they did or did you realize that this was not what God would want?

Terry, her father's behavior is not honorable to God so she should not honor her father and she would not go to hell.
