Do the Ten Commandments stand alone as the transcript of God's morality and as the foundation of ?

Question

His government?

Answer 1

I would say No.  They provide a sound foundation for loving God and your neighbor but there are many other commandments that God gives us in the Bible.  Food laws, holy days, don't be a respecter of persons, and love your neighbor are just some commandments that we are supposed to keep, which are not in the ten commandments.  If people in government today would listen to the whole Bible more it would be a better place morally.

De 16:18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

De 16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Here is one example how God wants his government run that (isn't in the ten commandments).  I am sure there are plenty of senators and congressmen that don't know this verse.  And think of how much better America could be if they did.

God's laws and commandments are a great thing.  If more people listened to all of them this would be a better place.

Answer 2

You use the biblical god's megalomania, jealousy, genocidal behaviour, sadism, infanticide, homophobia, sexism, racism, tyranny, and other crimes in the same breath as MORALITY?

The biblical god is immoral, and Christians can't or won't hold their own god to the same moral standards that the rest of us are supposed to be judged by. Since they won't judge the morality of the god they worship, Christians unwittingly serve Satan. Christianity is morally bankrupt.

Answer 3

No.

Answer 4

Yes they do, Freedom:

As Paul says in Romans 3:20   "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin."  

And Jesus' brother tells us in James  2:12   "So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

It is the ten commandment law that tells us what sin is, what we will be judged by, and it is a law of liberty--that is, it sets us free from defilement.

According to the New Covenant, that law is written in our hearts, and that covenant is an eternal one.
