Answer 1

Yep, I know them. Nope, haven't kept them. No one can. That's why Jesus died, to fulfill the Law, making it complete. Without Jesus, the Law becomes our judge. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Also in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." The Ten Commandments show us how much we need God, because we can't pay for the penalty of our sin ourselves, which is what breaking even one of the Commandments would require of us. <*)))><

Answer 2

The following is the text of the commonly accepted (by Christian and Jewish authorities) commandments as found in the book of Exodus 20:1-17, New Revised Standard Version. Because Jewish, Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic traditions divide the commandments in different fashions, they are presented below without itemization.

(1) Then God spoke all these words: (2) I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; (3) you shall have no other gods before me. (4) You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (5) You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, (6) but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. (7) You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. (8) Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. (9) Six days you shall labor and do all your work. (10) But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. (11) For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. (12) Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. (13) You shall not murder. (14) You shall not commit adultery. (15) You shall not steal. (16) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (17) You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

I try to keep to them! Actually I'm amazed I can remember most of them, only neede prompting for one of them!

Answer 4

Kept an hold of 5 of them and let slip the other 5, we all make mistakes.

Answer 5

No. Because I am not a follower of either the Christian or Jewish faiths.

So, 2 through 12 don't apply to me. And 17 is just silly. (referring to the paragraphs below).

Answer 9

No theft, no covetousness, no false witness vs. a neighbor, no adultry, no lying, no killing, no taking the lord's name in vain. And I think I've failed horribly at keeping all but a few (I have yet to kill anyone anywhere but in my fantasies)
