Thou shalt have no other gods before
me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of
them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will
not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and
do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Exodus 20:3-17

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY ORDERED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS REMOVED FROM THE COURTHOUSE?
On March 14, 1994, a framed copy of the Ten Commandments was removed from Cobb County Courthouse by order of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Following this, the American Rights Coalition (ARC) of Chattanooga, Tennessee, conducted a survey of Cobb County. The survey found that of the fifteen Christian bookstores only one had a copy of the Ten Commandments; of the fifteen Christian schools in the area, only one had a copy anywhere in their buildings; and of the twenty churches surveyed, again, only one had a copy on public display."So what the Federal Courts mandated for the Courthouse, Christians had already done voluntarily to their own walls," said ARC President Charles Wysong, "but what the ACLU meant for evil, God meant for good."
The ARC then commissioned noted calligrapher John Stuart McKenzie of Atlanta to create a print of the Ten Commandments.
On July 1, 1994 the first of 50,000 copies were distributed through the churches in Cobb County. The Ten Commandments are now on display in businesses, restaurants, judges' chambers, County Commissioners' offices, stores, homes, schools and churches all over the County. Millions have now seen them who would never have seen them on an obscure courthouse wall.
In another survey by the ARC they found that less than one percent of teens and adults in sound Bible churches can name the Ten Commandments.
"What neglect. These are the 'family values' that God intends parents to display and teach to their children. They are the foundation of all just laws. They are our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ. And they form the beginning of Christian maturity," said Mr. Wysong. -Copied
