Answer 2

I believe God's Commandments and Christ's teachings would be best taught in a communal setting where they can be practiced to their fullest. I've read how well the children did living in kibbutzim in Israel under a Marxist/atheist form of socialism. There was very little problem with crime and delinquency. Even the few problems they had were dealt with fairly and humanely. Just think how much better the kibbutzim would have done had they taught the children God's Commandments and Christ's teachings. The system would've more than likely endured as a perfect model of socialism and Christianity in practice today.

Below is two paragraphs from the book Kibbutz Goshen: An Israeli Commune (1989), by Alison M. Bowes, I thought were particularly enlightening and showed the strong potential of kibbutz living. On page 43 it says:

“... the fact that no delinquency, sexual aberrations or child neglect are to be found within its domain, that the incidence of emotional disturbances is low, that the physical, intellectual and ethical standards of the pupils are commendable, is a source of encouragement and evidence of substantial achievement. It is also our warrant for attempting to present communal education to a wider public.”

And on page 78 it says:

"The characteristics of kibbutz organization decrease the likelihood that anyone will be brought to the attention of law enforcement agencies. First, the scope for crime on the kibbutz is narrow. There is little money and no banks, there are no deserted places to mug people, no one has access to funds long enough to embezzle them, drug addiction is expensive, etc. Since everyone knows everyone else, secret plotting would be very difficult. Secondly, the kibbutzim are very jealous of their autonomy and reputation. One way to protect this is to deal with possible criminal activities internally and, more often than not, informally. On Goshen, petty thefts, cases of vandalism, minor assaults and a 'peeping Tom' were dealt with internally. The property was returned, the vandalism repaired, the quarrels patched up, and women were warned about the harmless 'peeping Tom' and simply drew the curtains before undressing."

Answer 3

There i no way anyone can obey these. If you try to keepthem all, and break one youare guilty of them all. Why can we notkep theten commandments you ask? Good question. The Bible says that the law is weak through the flesh. Why is the law weak throughtheflesh you ask? good question. Because we are not able to kep them. Anytime you lie you havebrokenthe commandments. You say you don't lie? ever told a friend to tell another friend you wasn't home? Tell him/her I went out?Ever tell your parents you were late becauseyou had a flat but really didn't? The world wouldbe a much betterplace ifwe followed what Jesus said was the greatest commmandment. Love the Fathe with all our heart mind body and soul, and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. In these hang all the law and prophets

1. Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, give thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).

2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.

3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.

4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.

5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.

6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.

7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.

8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.

9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.

10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.

11. Know those things that lead to your well-being, and those things that lead to your destruction.

12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
