How many would agree that without the law, you end up with anarchy and a disintegrated society?
Why we should support the preservation of our nations heritage;

No. It's not a dead issue. Unfortunately the curse of Madelyn Murray O'hair's filthy heritage hasn't died but is quite active with activists judges seeking to destroy this nation's values and heritage and largely through the ACLU. The attack on all things God and Christian is definitely not OLD NEWS but CURRENT NEWS and a travesty. These tyrants likely won't stop until they have desecrated all our national monuments from the crosses at the Arlington the the Commandments on the doors and engravings surrounding the entire Supreme Court building and then they will not be happy until not only God's laws are abolished but His people are silenced from speaking the Word. This is both a religious and moral issue.

John Witherspoon and many others openly professed to God and Jesus Christ. The evidence is clear that revisionists are WRONG!! The constitution is being misinterpreted to suit the godless and punish the God-fearing, law abiding Christians.

You get angry atheists, liberals (at least most libs) and an angry ACLU (Anti-Christ's Liberal Union)
The Country is already disintegrating and sadly some just don't see it.

Considering most of the founders were either atheists or deists, and many of them considered organized religion like christianity a possible threat were it to influence politcs, having the 10 commandments would actually be contrary to the nation's heritage. This country was founded with a "high wall of separation" for a reason, and that reason was to keep religion out of politics.
And yes, having the 10 commandments would be a bad thing to have up there. Some of the concepts are ok (no stealing, no killing, etc.) but others are crude and outright outdated concepts (Don't envy thy neighbors wife, cow or other PROPERTY of your neighbor for instance) as I don't expect women would like to be thought of as nothing more than property (only worth 30 shekels of silver according to the bible Leviticus 27:3-7) and the idea of not worshipping other gods directly and indubitably violates the first amendment freedom of religion and the separation clause.

you're operating less than quite a number of fake thoughts. i will attempt to untangle what you've reported the following. The previous covenant is made from the completed thing of the guidelines listed at Sinai, with the ten being the middle. This incorporates each thing from sacrifices to circumcision. It grow to be the "e book of the regulation" containing quite a number of those guidelines that grow to be sprinkled with blood, which incorporates the those that grow to be ratified because the former covenant. 2d, this covenant is definitely out of date: 2 Corinthians 3:11 For if that it truly is finished away grow to be excellent, much better that which remaineth is great. It grow to be the former covenant it really is finished away, as you may figure from the context. A Christian is one which has God's Spirit. ought to one which has God in them be tempted to produce different gods as well God? for sure not. this can help you educate how and why that covenant is out of date for Christians. The regulation is fulfilled not contained in the letter, yet contained in the Spirit, and that Spirit is a Spirit of love. you do not honor you mothers and fathers; you want your mothers and fathers, regardless of no matter if or not they could were undesirable mothers and fathers, case in element. that is written via both Paul and James that love fulfills the regulation. it really is compared to "preserving" the regulation which grow to be basically a count number of complying with it. If someone who hated yet another kept away from killing the different, this does not make that man or woman sinless, for the spirit of homicide is there. One ought to love even their enemies. Do you commence to understand? .

The 10 Commandments have no place in a public/government building. Separation of Church and State is one of the most important beliefs of our country, and the right to worship however you choose is protected under the Constitution. By placing a Christian/Jewish (sorry, can't remember right now if the 10 Commandments are in the Torah but I think they are) in a public place, you are sending the message that it is wrong to be anything other than Christain or Jewish. And the people who do not see why that is wrong have just forgotten what it is like to be a minority.
If they're going to put up the 10 Commandments, they need to have religious artifacts from ALL faiths--- Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, even Druidism and Paganism--- it needs to be equal, or not there at all.

Which version of the Ten Commandments are you going to put up on the wall? The Catholic version or the Protestant version?
One was the version suscribed to by Origen, the other by St. Augustine.
The two are markedly different on four different commandments. One commandment in the Protestant version is not present in the Catholic version.
So which one are you going to put up? Because no matter which one you nail up on the wall, you're using government to endorse one branch of Christianity over another. Let alone the fundamental different between the Jewish version of the Decalogue and the Christian variations.
Or will you just settle for Roman numerals put up, with not commandments underneath?
Thanks.

If you read the Bible, those aren't actually the REAL Ten Commandments. Don't believe me? Flip to Exodus 34:13-28 you'll find the real Ten Commandments. You know they’re the real Ten Commandments, because the last verse in that section (Exodus 34:28), says: “And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.” The commendments listed there are as follows:
1. Thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
4. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
5. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
6. Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
7. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven;
8. Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
9. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.
10. Thou shalt not seethe (i.e. kill) a kid in his mother’s milk.
All of the whole "coveting thy neighours wife" and "thou shalt not commit adultery" - not one of the 10 Commandments

Also being from Montgomery, Alabama, I can echo that this issue IS old and stale!
However, our nations laws were based upon Christianity. Despite that, the Ten Commandments are basic "laws" by ANY religious or community standard!

I don't mind if other people are religious as long as they are discreet about it. But when they flaunt it in my face, that's offensive.
