=The Ten Commandments=

**The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament**

The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:

//"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God//…

ONE: '//You shall have no other gods before Me.//'

TWO: '//You shall not make for yourself a carved image--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.//'

THREE: '//You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.//'

FOUR: '//Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.//'

FIVE: '//Honor your father and your mother.//'

SIX: '//You shall not murder.//'

SEVEN: '//You shall not commit adultery.//'

EIGHT: '//You shall not steal.//'

NINE: '//You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.//'

TEN: '//You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.//'

**The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New Testament**

About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day:

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica;">"//Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments//" (Matthew 22:36-40).

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica;">A reflective reading of Christ's teaching reveals that the first four commandments given to the children of Israel are contained in the statement: "//Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.//" It continues that the last six commandments are enclosed in the statement: "//Love your neighbor as yourself.//"


 * Why were the 10 Commandments provided to the Jews at this time?**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-decoration: inherit;"> There is a popular perception that the Ten Commandments are “the commandments” of Jewish religious tradition, but this is mistaken. The Hebrew scriptures contain 613 commandments in addition to these ten. This does not mean, however, that all commandments are equal. Jewish scholars have generally treated the Ten Commandments as basic or ideological foundations to the all the rest. The Ten Commandments also served as the foundation for various Jewish writings throughout the centuries. Much of the rabbinic halakah, the Mishnah, the Tosefta, and the Talmud reference the Ten Commandments extensively. Despite this central role played by the Ten Commandments in Jewish tradition, Jews have never venerated them in the same way that Christians seem to have.


 * How did having the 10 Commandments help the Jews to live out their covenant with God more faithfully?**

=2=  Quite simply, to handle disputes, errors, or poor judgment of a given person. In any society, altercations between citizens can break down a healthy structure, so the laws are in place to attempt to guarantee rights to each member. For example, if I want to murder someone, I would decide not to, because of the law ad it's consequences. There are those that do not care either way, and even those that enjoy the consequences, so the system isn't perfect. If the Law and Rule removes than crime reaches like a rocket in sky and bloodshed is everywhere in the world. **What if there were no laws?** If there were no laws in our society, well there will a lot of bad behaviours around us. That includes, Bullying, teasing, stealing, not respecting others, disobeying orders and much more. NO. SOCIETY is non-existence. There is no society in the first place if there are no rules or laws or regulations. IMAGINE, watching a basketball game, ok remove the rules or we call it no rules at all and no referee. Just play the game. Everyone will elbow one another, jump to side swept another to let him fall to the ground, before the time expire, most probably 3 players or more than that will be sent to the hospital yet the game is still on going. Blood all over their faces just to get that damn ball to the hoop. Take that example to a city or State, just imagine what horrible things will happen to it.



<span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 26px; text-align: center;">Challenge #2 3. With this step you have two choices (you must do your own work here...) : 4. What does it mean to be marginalised or outcast? As a team make a Venn Diagram or other chart which compares who the outcasts or marginalised were in Jesus' time, and who are those left on the margins of society today. (for example... a widow or a tax collector was an outcast in Jesus' time - today, it might be the homeless or refugees...) 5. Here again, you have two choices: (complete on your own and label)
 * 1) Copy and paste these instructions to your team's page.
 * 2) Read "The Beatitudes" as found in Matthew 15: 1 - 12 [|The Beatitudes: Matthew 5: 1 - 12] . Also, read through the two explanations of the Beatitudes found on the wiki's "Beatitudes" page (towards bottom of navigation bar...)
 * Discuss what you have read in your team.
 * As a team, construct a list of synonyms for the words "Blessed" and "Happy" - you can make two separate lists, upload a table, or do a word web or mind map - be creative! You can start with what is in your heads, and add to this using an online tool such as [|Synonyms online].
 * Explain what the Beatitudes mean. You should write in complete sentences and use some of your synonyms in your response. (Individually, what does each Beatitude mean? As a whole - What do they mean for us as Christians?...) (Type and label your own answer).
 * read this passage "The Widow's Offering" and explain in a short paragraph which Beatitudes are illustrated through this passage: [|The parable of the Widow's Offering Mark 1: 41-44] [|Explanation of the parable] (YOu will receive a C or less on this part of the criteria if you choose this option).
 * OR using your bibles, or searching online, locate a parable or other passage in the New Testament which illustrates one or more of the values from the Beatitudes. Try this as a starting point: [|List of parables] . Write a short paragraph which summarises your parable and explain in your own words which Beatitudes are illustrated in your chosen parable. (for an A or B you must do this option).
 * read one of the scenarios about Human Rights and Children from Amnesty International linked here: [|Scenarios] . Explain in a short paragraph how this relates to the Beatitudes today. (C response...)
 * OR think about society today - write your own description of a real life situation where someone is outcast or marginalised. Then, explain how this situation illustrates or relates to the beatitudes today.

**Synonyms** **What Beatitudes Means?** What do the Beatitudes mean for us today? Here are Jesus' teachings on true happiness as they might be understood by people your age.

**Blessed are they who mourn**

**Blessed are they who hunger**

**Blessed are the merciful**

** Outcast ** An outcast is a person who is not accepted in society or a group. People can become outcasts because of the way they look, their beliefs, the way they dress, or other reasons. They sometimes make friends with each other. but feel lonely and unaccepted.

**Marginalised**

Marginalized groups are those who live at the "margins" (nearly the outside) of the community/society. The rest of the community rarely if ever considers what the marginalized group may need or want because the majority has convinced itself that the marginalized group does not matter: The majority thinks the marginalized ones have brought their misfortune on themselves, they don't deserve help, they want to live that way, things like that. <span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 22px; text-align: left;">1.
