So, how many of you think i can use the 10 commandments and/or the 10 punishments to get out of doing homework on sunday (the sabbath)?

If only the day that wasnt the sabbath was a school day, then it could possibly work.

without even looking at the link...by your question i can tell you that you cant. if you break just one commandment...you break them all. and since you dont believe in GOD or even understand anything about HIM...you are attempting to use one of the commandments for your own gain, which will get you nowhere. either with GOD or your parents or the school board. besides...the true sabbath isnt even on sunday...it is saturday...the seventh day, not the first day.

LOL! Sorry buddy. The Sabbath is the seventh day, which is Saturday. Sunday is a catholic holiday, it is not biblical. So you wouldn't be able to use the Ten Commandments in your defense. However, you WOULD be able to use it next Saturday! No type of work - even school work, yard work, house work - is permitted by God on the Sabbath, and Jesus and the Apostles verified this in the New Testament.

They are NO LONGER in effect...
Ephesians 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ put an end to the LAW WITH ALL ITS COMMANDS AND RULES. He wanted to create one new group of people out of the two. He wanted to make peace between them.
Colossians 2:14 He wiped out the written Law with its rules. The Law was against us. It opposed us. He took it away and nailed it to the cross.
Galatians 2:16 ...No one can be made right with God by obeying the law.
Galatians 2:21 ...What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!
Romans 3:20 So it can’t be said that anyone will be made right with God by obeying the law. Not at all! The law makes us more aware of our sin. 21 But now God has shown us how to become right with him. The Law and the Prophets give witness to this. It has nothing to do with obeying the law.
Galatians 5:4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace... The ONLY verse that talks about falling from grace, and they did it by trying to follow the law!
Jesus said he didn’t come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. (Matt 5:17) The effect was the same. Once fulfilled it was no longer in effect. The very next verse, Matthew 5:18, looks forward to the time when the law would be set aside. "...Not even the smallest stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law UNTIL EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED." This “UNTIL” clause reinforces the temporary nature of the law. It ONLY makes sense when we understand that it was intended from the beginning to be set aside.
On the cross, Jesus' last recorded saying, "It is finished," is an important milestone. Because of Jesus life, Satan had been defeated. The law was finished and would no longer stand between God and mankind.
The 10 commandments along with the rest of the law ("commands and rules" from Ephesians 2:15) were "set aside" when they were fulfilled or completed at Jesus' resurrection. We are no longer bound by that law.

The Sabbath is on Saturday. You may be able to use them to get out of it on the Sabbath, but there are six other days in the week ;-)

Sabbath is a time period God made for man, not a day ! It is a time period for REST. It is a spiritual REST for Gods chosen. I agree that in the physical it is needed, but there remains a period when you can RELAX and meditate and enjoy the things God has done in your life.
The whole '' KEEP IT HOLY " is for YOUR benefit, and refers to the 1,000 year rule of Christ in these last days, coming forth SOON.

If you are Jewish you might be able to get out of it on Saturday. If you are Christian, Jesus did away with the 10 commandments of Yahweh, there are only two commandments; Love God, and love your neighbor.

Maybe, if your parents are not Seventh Day Adventists
(they observe the Sabbath day on saturday)...actually they are correct in that belief.

the 10 commandments are not punishments. God put them here to protect us. Look at things in a positive way not a negative way.
