DECALOGUE 4 everyone

How to apply the
 •The Ten Commandments• (DECALOGUE) Exodus 20 in everyday life:
..
1. I AM YOUR G'OD, there are no other powers:

Purpose of everything: ONE ALMIGHTY GO'D.
every single event happens for a purpose. Every single atom in the universe has a godly purpose!

 Everything given to us is to be used for godly purpose.

2. Strive for total truth and unity: NOT TO WORSHIP CREATION AS CREATOR.
paganism/polytheism cannot bring unity, because every idol worshipper sees HIS idol as the most important one, or he sees each of world powers working at opposing purposes.

Monotheism forces us to see everything as synergy, all parts making a greater whole.

A created entity cannot represent the totality of creation, but only a fractured fragment, which ipso facto is a lie because it hides the fulness of truth.

3. NOT TO TAKE G'OD's Name ''in vain''.

Any attribute of the Almighty does not describe His totality.
We need to approach our Maker with due respect, love and trembling. Even when describing a partial ASPECT of His relationship with the world ,we need to remember that any ATTRIBUTE of Divinity does not DEFINE the Infinite One.

The lesson is to always strive to see the full picture in everything, not to mis-represent G'ods creation.

4. KEEPING & •REMEMBERING• SHABBAT to make it holy.

Although only Children of Israel are commanded to abstain from all labors on Shabbat,

the universal lesson for everyone is to always remember that this world is to be sanctified and made into a godly place of love, justice, and unity.

To ''rest'' on Shabbat means that we should strive to emulate our Creator in having a definite plan and a purpose in all our actions.

 Shabbat is our goal: to set aside time for purely SPIRITUAL holy time, pure from profane mundane weekly efforts.

5. HONORING OUR PARENTS:
Gratitude and respect for our life-giving parents is the first step of being a godly person.

If we don't appreciate our PARENTS, how can we appreciate G'od who sustains us at every moment?

6. YOU SHALL NOT MURDER.

If we cannot appreciate our parents or our Creator, we won't appreciate life!
G'ods most precious gift is LIFE! Ultimately that's our ONLY gift.
We need to hold life precious and not destroy it needlessly!
G'ods first commandment to Adam was to ''guard and rule the garden''. That includes protecting all life.

7. NOT TO PROPAGATE SEXUAL IMMORALITY.

Misusing intimacy for cheap animalistic thrills is to disrespect G'ods gift of life and of ''loving one's fellow human beings. To respect and love others means to honor their emotional and physical needs.

Using others as mere tools of sating one's own selfish self-gratifying physical desires is to dishonor the godly spark in others.

8. YOU SHALL NOT STEAL.
Loving one's fellow human beings and honoring all G'ods creatures as G'ods creation includes respecting others' property and rights from loss or damage.

9. YOU SHALL NOT PRESENT FALSE TESTIMONY.
Preserving G'ods truth and avoiding misleading others, especially to pervert justice, is especially heinous. Some people justify any sin if they think that their cause is right.
Justice isn't a far-off theoretical idea, but a DAILY struggle to be an HONEST truthfull human being at all times.

10. YOU SHALL NOT COVET.
This is a most important commandment, as it illustrates that not only our physical actions need to be godly, but even our THOUGHTS and EMOTIONS are to be pure.

((Ten Commandments

20 Then God spoke all these words:

2 I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

3 You must have no other gods before me.

4 Do not make an idol for yourself—no form whatsoever—of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. 5 Do not bow down to them or worship them, because I, the Lord your God, am a passionate God. I punish children for their parents’ sins even to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me. 6 But I am loyal and gracious to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 Do not use the Lord your God’s name as if it were of no significance; the Lordwon’t forgive anyone who uses his name that way.

8 Remember the Sabbath day and treat it as holy. 9 Six days you may work and do all your tasks, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. Do not do any work on it—not you, your sons or daughters, your male or female servants, your animals, or the immigrant who is living with you. 11 Because the Lordmade the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them in six days, but rested on the seventh day. That is why theLord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12 Honor your father and your mother so that your life will be long on the fertile land that the Lord your God is giving you.

13 Do not kill.

14 Do not commit adultery.

15 Do not steal.

16 Do not testify falsely against your neighbor.

17 Do not desire your neighbor’s house. Do not desire and try to take your neighbor’s wife, male or female servant, ox, donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.))
