   Which is the worst commandment to break and which is the least worst to break? Or do you think they are all equal? E.g is swearing just as bad as killing?

         Interesting. So 5 commandments got lost. Perhaps one was:" thou must not pollute the atmosphere". Anyone care to guess the others?

            Yes, I think I knew you were a Catholic from previous forum chat.
            That Jesuit "give me a child...."is so true.Unfortunately, these days it can read "and you too will become a child abuser."
            
            Answering my own question, I do think " thou shall not kill" should be number one.It has always irritated me that theologians justify killing. They don't seem to justify breaking other commandndments,

   They are in essence ONE law with many parts.
   If you break one, you break them all.
   And are accountable for them all, under the old covenant.
   
   remember, the 1st set was broken on the back of a golden ox calf- an symbol of humans slavery -an idol. Much to understand in that.
   The second was sealed in the ark of the OLD covenant.
   
   If one lives under the new covenant, why do these ten matter?
   If you keep the new command, all the old ones are fulfilled without even trying.
   
   If one is still concerned about the old things, one cannot experience ANY new thing.
   
   Wake up people, you've been asleep too long.

         I do however completely adhere to what Y`shua said:
         
         a. I did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it.
         b. The Law is fulfilled in your hearing.
         c. Love the Father above all things; love your fellow man... In doing so, you fulfill the Law AND the prophets.
         
         
         oh, EDIT:
         
         My [meaning Y`shua] Grace is more than enough for you; for you are NOT UNDER THE LAW but under grace.

   God's grace and His Law are two sides of the same coin. The Law defines our expected behavior, and God's grace provides forgiveness when we at times don't live up to that standard. Grace doesn't nullify the Law, it compliments it. Clearly, those who think they can be part of God's people without obedience to His Law are deceived. Yahshua himself stated this clearly:
   
       MATTHEW 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the Law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (NKJV)

   While I do admire your zeal, DS, there is no 'coin'.
   
   Please reread my post.
   
   Edit:
   
   a. everything that I pointed to was Y`shua not Paul.
   Paul states that though we are free of the law, we should not use it as an excuse to sin. Instead, sin less, keep the law by walking in the FULLNESS of the spirit, not your own agenda. Not coincidentally, this is exactly what Y`shua said. Ain't that something.
   
   b. it is very sad you have a blind spot about Free Will versus choice, perhaps we can discuss it sometime, I actually believe you would get it. The Grace I am talking about is not mercy (grace) it is the stasis of Grace.
   
   c. I must also add one more: read thoroughly letter of john c15, which exemplifies my earlier points regarding the law.

      QUOTE
      "My [meaning Y`shua] Grace is more than enough for you; for you are NOT UNDER THE LAW but under grace." END OF QUOTE
      
      That is a Quote from Paul. Yahshua never said it.
      2 Corinthians 12:9
      And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
      
      Romans 6:14
      For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
      Romans 6:15
      
      As a matter of fact, "Grace" is not a word Yahshua used.
      And "not under the law" certainly isn't

         So, like the other religionistas, you prefer to look into crystal balls, telescopes, mind energy plus adding legal weights and measures to people -already fulfilled on their behalf by someone you do not understand a hair about -only from textual reference (as seen by the bible quoting).

How, by any measure, could one -such as yourself- conclude what knowledge I need. You, like others presume totality over instances of textual information -by religious or scientific means -in your case, an attempt at both.

    The original Poster didn't say which Commandments. So here are the ones I live by;
    * Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.
    * Keep skunks at a distance.
    * Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.
    * Don't skinny dip with snapping turtles
    * Words that soak into your heart are whispered, not yelled.
    * Meanness doesn't happen overnight.
    * Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.
    * Don't corner something meaner than you.
    * You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, assuming you want to catch flies.
    * It doesn't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
    * You can't un-say cruel words.
    * Every path has some puddles.
    * Most of the stuff people worry about never happens.
