Rules that prove the fact
In brief the ten commandments read,
Here to me is something that proves God exists. Quoted above are the Ten Commandments. They were given to Moses by God thousands of years ago and are universally applicable to every man and woman on the planet. These are rules for living that I firmly believe are in the hearts of everyman.
Following these ten basic rules for living makes society a safe and loving place.
Such rules I do not believe simply evolved over the centuries. I cannot believe ancient man simply convened a conference of all the tribes of the earth and agreed on such rules. I believe God himself instilled them in our hearts and minds from the day we were conceived. I believe they are part of our DNA.
The ten commandments tell mankind first of all how God expect the individual to act with respect to God. The first three state,
Number four states
The fifth tells us,
The next commands are what is needed for an orderly society, they state,
That being said I leave the decision with you the reader. Do you believe there is a God the creator of heaven and earth or not?
The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
In brief the ten commandments read,
1/“You shall have no other gods before me.”
2/“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them;...”
3/ “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.”
4/ “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”
5/ “Honour your father and your mother,”
6/“You shall not murder.”
7/“You shall not commit adultery.”
8/“You shall not steal.”
9/“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.”
10/“You shall not covet “
From Exodus 20:2-17.Here to me is something that proves God exists. Quoted above are the Ten Commandments. They were given to Moses by God thousands of years ago and are universally applicable to every man and woman on the planet. These are rules for living that I firmly believe are in the hearts of everyman.

3/ “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.”
There is only one God to be worshipped and that is the Lord God almighty. We are to have no other Gods. We are not to make and worship idols. We are not to misuse God’s name.Number four states
4/ “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”
We can work six days a week but on the seventh we are to rest and worship God. Having a day of rest is even accepted by health advocates as a good thing.The fifth tells us,
5/ “Honour your father and your mother,”
We are to honour our father and mother. Years ago there use to be a saying around the church that said, “Don’t let your parents down, they brought you up.”The next commands are what is needed for an orderly society, they state,
6/“You shall not murder.”
7/“You shall not commit adultery.”
8/“You shall not steal.”
9/“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.”
10/“You shall not covet “
As I said I do not believe ancient man could come up with such universally accepted law as the ten commandments. Laws that encompass both mans relationship to God and his relationship with his fellow man.That being said I leave the decision with you the reader. Do you believe there is a God the creator of heaven and earth or not?
The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
