Everyone knows that what the Bible says goes, well for the most part. In fact, you would think that as much as religion rules our society we would follow it more than we actually like to think we do. Everyone interprets the word religion differently. We interpret the words to what we think will make ourselves look better in the eyes of religion. Knowing that we will never reach the level of perfection as the sole purpose of whatever religion it may be. It leaves us with a lifelong goal to be accepted into whatever other side one believes in, so its only right that we as humans pick and push our limits as to what we think are sins that shouldnt be committed at all to sins we think might allow a slight overlook.
The 10 commandments otherwise known as an outline of what we were supposed to follow versus the current things we do as a society today are of course on very different scales than anticipated but on the contrary, there are a couple of points that still seem to be holding up. For starters swearing makes an appearance in both, the Ten Commandments state that there should be no cursing in the name of the lord while current norms just state that there should be no cursing coming from kids. The current norms believe that we should be good neighbors as does the 10 commandments stating that one shall not bear false witness against one’s neighbor. Another thing they share is that one shall honor their father as well as their mother said the Ten Commandments while current norms say that people should respect their elders in general rather than be parents or grown-ups or grandparents. Something else similar is that one shall not covet or want anything that may be their neighbor from the Ten Commandments Which is similar to love all around the world no matter where one may be, unselfish and clean traits come from both. As may be expected relationships fall into both in some sort of way, the Ten Commandments Believe that one shall not commit adultery while current norms say that lying is bad now if you think about it lying plays a big part in adultery so indeed these two things would go hand in hand. Now for the fun part the differences as expected. The Ten Commandments Believe that there shall only be one god worshiped while current norms tend to follow more than one god or no god at all. The Commandments believe that a person shall not steal but of course, society knows all too well about theft as it seems to happen almost every day. The Commandments also say that one shall not commit murder, we know current norms threw that whole idea away as mass murders and killings have become all too frequent these days. Society these days has everyone trying to fix their body to what this day in age thinks it should be but the Commandments think otherwise by believing one shall not make themselves a sculptured image. Lastly remembering sabbath day and keeping it holy is what the Commandments Believe but to this current age is anything ever really holy anymore?
In my opinion, the Commandments will be very different from what other people believe. I think the first one simply means that people should only have one god. The second one is that a person shall not change who they are and become fake or enhanced. The third one is that a person shouldnt use God’s name in vain or surround it with profanity. The fourth is that sabbath day shouldnt be forgotten and that it should be kept clean and as a peaceful day. The fifth is that bluntly people should respect their parents. The sixth is that of course killing is indeed bad and it shouldnt be done out of cold blood. The seventh is that cheating on your partner, especially in marriage is bad. The eighth is that people shouldnt steal or take things that arent theirs. The ninth is that we should look out for our neighbors and not lie to them. Finally, the tenth is that we shouldnt desire or crave something that our neighbors have and that we dont.
Murder of course will always for the most part be wrong in everyones eyes. So wrong that in fact there are laws of course that speak upon it. U.S. code § 1111. Murder states that (a) Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. Every murder perpetrated by poison, lying in wait, or any other kind of willful, deliberate, malicious, and premeditated killing; or committed in the perpetration of, or attempt to perpetrate, any arson, escape, murder, kidnapping, treason, espionage, sabotage, aggravated sexual abuse or sexual abuse, child abuse, burglary, or robbery; or perpetrated as part of a pattern or practice of assault or torture against a child or children; or perpetrated from a premeditated design unlawfully and maliciously to effect the death of any human being other than him who is killed, is murder in the first degree.
Any other murder is murder in the second degree.
Within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States,
Whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life;
Whoever is guilty of murder in the second degree, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life.
For purposes of this section
- The term assault has the same meaning as given that term in section 113;
-
- under the perpetrators care or control; or
- at least six years younger than the perpetrator; The term child means a person who has not attained the age of 18 years and is
- The term child abuse means intentionally or knowingly causing death or serious bodily injury to a child;
- The term pattern or practice of assault or torture means assault or torture engaged in on at least two occasions;
- The term serious bodily injury has the meaning set forth in section 1365; and
- The term torture means conduct, whether or not committed under the color of law, that otherwise satisfies the definition set forth in section 2340(1).
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 756; Pub. L. 98473, title II, § 1004, Oct. 12, 1984, 98 Stat. 2138; Pub. L. 99646, § 87(c)(4), Nov. 10, 1986, 100 Stat. 3623; Pub. L. 99654, § 3(a)(4), Nov. 14, 1986, 100 Stat. 3663; Pub. L. 100690, title VII, § 7025, Nov. 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4397; Pub. L. 103322, title VI, § 60003(a)(4), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 1969; Pub. L. 10821, title I, § 102, Apr. 30, 2003, 117 Stat. 652.) This law clearly encourages one of the Commandments which includes the idea of murder.
Sins are all bad. At Least they should be. Sins were created for us humans to ultimately commit through temptations. Not anyone on this earth or planet can say they havent committed at least one sin. Hey, weve all committed sins lets admit it, but thats the problem right there. Its so hard to admit that weve committed sins and gone against the word of the Bible. I mean we all know theyre wrong and we all know that everyone has committed them. However, society has made it so that everyone is afraid to admit that theyve committed sins. Its simply because all sins arent weighed the same or even interpreted the same. All sins are offensive but of course, the level of offense has been created by what man thinks, and not just one man but everyone that isnt perfect and thats just about everyone whos living and breathing on earth. We see sins based on how we would want the world to see us. We want to seem as perfect or as near as perfect as we possibly can for the simple goal that most people have or share which is some type of better afterlife. To some people lying might not even be a real sin Versus murder or especially murder to ones self which seems to some to be the ultimate gateway to whatever one considers hell. Religion purposely doesnt rank which sins are the worst because to religion they all are on equal ranks. It is Mankind that has ranked the sins from most evil to least over the years though. We will continue to commit sins regardless, it can not be stopped and wont stop anytime soon. As it is the sacrifice that religion had made for us to even be here.
I think that the sin of lying best embodies the American society that we live in today. For the simple fact that everyone lies. Everyone has and will continue to lie because its just a part of its history. Weve been lying for so long that I dont think it could possibly ever stop. Weve engulfed it so much that everyone does it. Rather its to protect feelings or to better ourselves we do it. Deceiving will forever be a part of American history and it will probably stay that way until its end.
I think out of all ten of the Commandments remembering the Sabbath day and keeping it holy is probably the easiest. I feel like that because its not something that we have to remember every single day and that since it only appears once it shouldnt be that hard to keep it holy and keep its legacy going. However, I feel like not desiring what one’s neighbor has is probably the hardest. For the simple fact that in order for there to be any change in the world we have to see someone else doing something or having something we dont so that we make or attempt to make something thats better so that we can not only get what they have but surpass what they have. A jealous trait is just embedded into every person and thats just what it simply is. So I think that would be the hardest for people.
