How about those 10 Commandments? They were a God-inspired set of rules for how people should live together. But unlike government regulations, following the 10 Commandments is optional. But there are consequences for not following them...spending eternity in Hell.
Do you suppose that God put the 10 Commandments in their order of importance? I do.
If you were God, is it an accident that the first four Commandments deal with how to worship and honor You? Then coming in at Commandment #5 is "Honor thy Father and Mother;" those five cover one entire Tablet that Moses carried down.
And next at the top of Tablet two, coming in at #6, is "thou shalt not kill." That shows you how far our society has moved away from Godliness.
Yes, I know that all of the 10 Commandments need to be followed, if you are a Christian, but I do like their order of presentation!
