You must not have any other god but me',' and, You must not make for yourself an idol'. You may have heard these sayings. They are called ''the Ten Commandments'. They are sets of bible laws that are related to worshipping gods and ethics. According to the story the Exopudus, God inscribed them on two stone tablets. I will talk about three commandments, comparing and discussing the similarities between our beliefs and laws today.
One of the commandments is '' honor your father and mother'. This is very similar to some beliefs today. Teachers teach us to obey our parents and to respect them. We can see from this that people thought that when they honored their parents, they will live happy and successful life , honor. We don't respect our parents to live a happy life, but it is true that we still obey and honor our parents.
Second, there is a commandment saying 'you must not murder and you must not steal.' We have that law too. For example, If I murder somebody and steal some money, I would have to be in jail for the rest of my life. It is amazing that it is same. However, everyone agrees that We should not murder or steal.(except for some people)
Third ' you must not testify falsely against your neighbor. This means that you should not lie to other people. We don't have an actual law about this but just to be nice, most people would not like lieing probably.
In conclusion, some of the commandments are the same as the laws today. For example, honoring your parents, not stealing, not murdering, and not testifying against neighbors are similar to the laws and the common sense we have.
