Headless Man
From Exodus 20:1-17
1. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

1. Contained the written (codified) moral principles that God places in all of us at the age of accountability. (Rom 2:12-16)
2. Contained the national law for the people of Israel.
3. Contained a ceremonial (worship) law which foreshadowed the New Testament.
WHY DID GOD HAVE THE MORAL PRINCIPLES WRITTEN DOWN?
Gal 3:19 It was added because of transgressions…
1 Tim 4:1-2 …whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.”
Some people became callused to the laws of God because of their refusal to obey (1 Tim 4:2) and others because they were taught that right was wrong and wrong was right. (Gal 3:19) The result was confusion. By God having His law written down, the people could always refer to the written law to make sure what was correct.
Nine of the Ten Commandments are moral laws, one is ceremonial-“Remember to keep the Sabbath holy.”
Today the Old Testament /Covenant/ /law is…
• Old Heb 8:6
• Aging Heb 8:13
• Will soon disappear Heb 8:13
• Changed Heb 8:13; Heb 7:11-12
• Set aside Heb 7:18
• Weak Heb 7:18
• Useless Heb 7:18
• Was only a shadow Heb 10:1
• Canceled Col 2:14
• Was against us Col 2:14
• Taken away Col 2:14
• Nailed to the cross Col 2:14
• We are not under it any longer Gal 3:24-25
• Destroyed Eph 2:14-15
• Abolished Eph 2:14-15
We are under none of the laws of Moses but are under the laws of Christ which contain the basic moral principles that were in Moses’ law. We are under these principles not because they were commanded by Moses but because they are commanded by Christ. We need to be reminded, that much of Moses’ law was not basic moral principles and we are under none of Moses’ law.
Before Jamestown and Plymouth this country was ruled by Indians. The Indian nations had their laws. When the Colonial government was set up it had its laws. Today we are under the law of the United States. We are not today under the Indian laws or the Colonial laws even thought in some cases they required the same thing as does the law of the United States.
In the New Testament all of the moral laws have been restated. The only exception is the one ceremonial law, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy” (which is not a moral law but ceremonial.) This law has not been restated in the New Testament and we are not under this law today.

No, they are not outdated and should not be change.They are quite simple to follow. They are a guide to a more peaceful life. God knows better and He is by far smarter than man. If man had obeyed these commandments, all the chaos in the world would not be happening. Don't forget about the seven deadly sins......pride, envy, gluttony, lust, greed, anger, and sloth. Yes it is sad to say, man cannot stay clear from these sins too.

The ten commandments are definitely out dated. Not that we shouldn't use these laws as a basic guidline to how we should, as christians, live our lives. You see, in the old testament, the wages of sin was death. And the only way to come before our Father was thru a priest. That is where animal sacrifices come into play. But those laws are known as the "old law", old testament. Since then, God realized that His children needed another way into salvation, so he sent his only begotten Son to take our place in death. John 3:16 "For God so loveth man that He gave his only begotten Son".
Now we live in the new testament, under a new law. Now the wages of sin are paid! thank you Jesus. And we now can come before our Father, through Christ, just as Christ himself does. In the old testament there were prophesise being told, and in the new testament, there are prophesies being fufilled. One of which is the prophesy of the coming King. We now have a new reason to be excited. JESUS CHRIST! halleluhia!

Here is part of the article from the news: CHRISTIANS in Sydney will have their core beliefs challenged by provocative advertisements due to appear on billboards and buses in the next month.
The ads, paid for by an Islamic group called MyPeace, will carry slogans such as ''Jesus: a prophet of Islam'', ''Holy Quran: the final testament'' and ''Muhammad: mercy to mankind''.
