One! - is
the I AM, Yahweh. Honour Yahweh as god, as No.1, as God the only One!
2. No
technological images to worship! (They miss the most important thing
about Yahweh - LIFE. The only allowable images of him are those living images
of Yahweh, created by him & procreated by us, in fulfilling his mandate to
us)
3. Honour
God’s name! (Names are important & linked to the person, at least
through language, which must be important in linking the human race too
4. Copy
God’s (use of time, & his
priority of regularly celebrating not only his work, but his friends/family,) Sabbath.
5. Honour
your earthly parents (who are meant to mirror and concretize God’s
authority/ relationship to you).
6. Dishonour
not the other sex nor your word to them (nor
the covenant relationship of a man & woman leaving their own father &
mother & being formed into a new family unit - by God)
7. Dishonour
not the right to existence of an image
of God in God’s world (as though you yourself could choose whether
another image of God should live on God’s earth or not. For who made you a
ruler or judge over others?).
8. Dishonour
not people’s capacity (as images
of Yahweh) to rule
over the stuff (things & places) of God’s world (since God has given us such
authority).
9. Dishonour
not your neighbour’s nearness &
trust (since it is God who ordained the boundaries of our existence in
time & space; and you know more about your neighbour who lives beside you
trusting you. You are responsible for that knowledge, to use it to bless, not
curse, your neighbour).
10. Dishonour not your own lack
of things (in general & in particular, even though you have the
capacity to change many things there are some things you are simply stuck with
- or without) at God’s
ultimate discretion, since Yahweh (not others, or our own self,) is our god, our number One!
