Which of the 634 commandments do you want me to recite? Get out the first five books of Moses and start counting.
If you are a Christian, the read 1 Cor 10:23-24 with emphasis on verse 24.
One last point: It isn't the reciting of commandments, but living them.

You try reciting over a thousand commandments. People think that there are only 10, but in the first five books of the bible alone theire are 613.

All the laws hang from Loving God, and Loving your Neighbor.
If you love God you won't: take his name in vain, make graven images, ...If you love your neighbor you won't: sleep with his wife, steal, murder, lie, ect... So Jesus just summarized ALL GOD'S COMMANDMENTS BY LOVE. God's laws and commandments teach us to love one other and him! That is why, Love is the fulfilling of the law.
John 14:15 - If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Matthews 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

That's because they only care for two laws love the heavenly father and your neighbor but as you can see they can't even do those two.But don't forget that there is ten.

Jesus gave us 2 commandments, which cover all other commandments:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Remember that people are sent to hell not because they don't know the ten commandments or not going to church or not readuing the Bible. People are sent to Hell because of their sins.

no one's perfect
we can claim to be a believer or even a christian & not remember every verse in the bible.
we should all study to show ours approved.
that doesn't mean we aren't christians though.
sometimes it takes people longer to remember & study the bible.

Others see me so I know I'm here.
God does not see he feels.... when someone is committing adultery it feels like a good time to him...
Religious laws have nothing to do with god, if they considered god they would not have nurtured themselves on hatred, fear. guilt, prejudice and war.
