RE

Here are the 10 Commandments. Read them, and answer the questions about them below:

1. Worship no god but me.  Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth.  Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the Lord your God.
2. Do not use my name for evil purposes.
3. Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.  You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to me.  On that day no one is to work – neither you, your children, your slaves, your animals, nor the foreigners who live in your country.  In six days I, the Lord, made the earth, the sky, the seas, and everything in them, but on the seventh day I rested.   That is why I, the Lord, blessed the Sabbath and made it holy.
4. Respect your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that I am giving you.
5. Do not kill.
6. Do not be unfaithful.
7. Do not steal.
8. Do not lie against your neighbour.
9. Do not be greedy and want what other people own.
10. Do not take another’s husband or wife.

Questions to complete in your come learning book:

1. Which Law do you think is most important and why?
2. How do you think these Laws helped the Israelites to live in harmony with one another?
3. Which day of the week is the holy day for Christians?
4. How do many Christians observe this?
5. Who are the first three Laws concerned with and why?
6. Who are Laws 4 - 10 concerned with?
7. Which of these beliefs and values are most important to us today and why?

That’s all for today! Have yourself a great rest of the day.
