The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments  (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1	“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage.  You shall have no other gods before Me.
2	“You shall not make for yourself a 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 thou- sands, 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 male servant, nor your female servant, 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 male  servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”

Bible Stories from "The Bible"

Stories in the "The Bible" can help us through similar situations you and I encounter while living on this earth.  I found the one with pictures easier on "my eyes" than the book full of type.

The first three stories in the Bible:

• "Adam and Eve" - 

•"Noah and the Ark" - Noah

•"The Tower of Babel" - Nimrod

Are the first in the Bible, each shows lessons the characters learn through their experience. I like the story of Noah. Seemed to be a trustworthy guy that GOD gave him the authority over all the animals to lead the people on their journey over coming the flood.

Observations
The Lord has "left a rainbow" in Moses Story and Nimrod has "shot a bow" up to the heavens.
Noah sent out a Raven and a Dove returned?
Favorite quotes:

"The LORD has left the rest up to us now."
"The LORD has left it up to us now."
"The LORD has put the future in our hands"

Nimrod was a great grand son of Moses's.  He enslaved men and build


5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the
tower which the sons of men had built.
6 And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people,
and they all have the same language. And this is
what they began to do, and now nothing which they
purpose to do will be impossible for them."
7 "Come, let Us go down and there confuse their
language, that they may not understand one
another's speech."
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there
over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped
building the city.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because
there the LORD confused the language of the whole
earth; and from there the LORD scattered them
abroad over the face of the whole earth (Genesis)
