       The commandments God gave Noah when he landed on dry ground
       again.
       1) Not to worship idols.
       2) Not to curse God.
       3) To establish courts of justice.
       4) Not to commit murder.
       5) Not to commit adultery.
       6) Not to steal.
       7) Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.
       The Ten Commandments
       I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods
       before Me.”
       This commandment forbids idolatry, the worship of false gods and
       goddesses, and it excludes polytheism, the belief in many gods,
       insisting instead on monotheism, the belief in one God. This
       commandment forbids making golden calves, building temples to
       Isis, and worshipping statues of Caesar, for example.
       “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”
       The faithful are required to honor the name of God. It makes
       sense that if you’re to love God with all your heart, soul,
       mind, and strength, then you’re naturally to respect the name of
       God with equal passion and vigor.
       “Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.”
       The Jewish celebration of Sabbath (Shabbat) begins at sundown on
       Friday evening and lasts until sundown on Saturday. Catholic,
       Protestant, and Orthodox Christians go to church on Sunday,
       treating it as the Lord’s Day instead of Saturday to honor the
       day Christ rose from the dead.
       “Honor thy father and mother.”
       This commandment obliges the faithful to show respect for their
       parents — as children and adults. Children must obey their
       parents, and adults must respect and see to the care of their
       parents, when they become old and infirm.
       “Thou shalt not kill.”
       The better translation from the Hebrew would be “Thou shalt not
       murder” — a subtle distinction but an important one to the
       Church. Killing an innocent person is considered murder. Killing
       an unjust aggressor to preserve your own life is still killing,
       but it isn’t considered murder or immoral.
       “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
       The sixth and ninth commandments honor human sexuality. This
       commandment forbids the actual, physical act of having immoral
       sexual activity, specifically adultery, which is sex with
       someone else’s spouse or a spouse cheating on their partner.
       “Thou shalt not steal.”
       The seventh and tenth commandments focus on respecting and
       honoring the possessions of others. This commandment forbids the
       act of taking someone else’s property. The Catholic Church
       believes that this commandment also denounces cheating people of
       their money or property, depriving workers of their just wage,
       or not giving employers a full day’s work for a full day’s pay.
       Embezzlement, fraud, tax evasion, and vandalism are all
       considered extensions of violations of the Seventh Commandment.
       “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
       The Eighth Commandment condemns lying. Because God is regarded
       as the author of all truth, the Church believes that humans are
       obligated to honor the truth. The most obvious way to fulfill
       this commandment is not to lie — intentionally deceive another
       by speaking a falsehood. So a good Catholic is who you want to
       buy a used car from.
       “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.”
       The Ninth Commandment forbids the intentional desire and longing
       for immoral sexuality. To sin in the heart, Jesus says, is to
       lust after a woman or a man in your heart with the desire and
       will to have immoral sex with them. Just as human life is a gift
       from God and needs to be respected, defended, and protected, so,
       too, is human sexuality. Catholicism regards human sexuality as
       a divine gift, so it’s considered sacred in the proper context —
       marriage.
       “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.”
       The Tenth Commandment forbids the wanting to or taking someone
       else’s property. Along with the Seventh Commandment, this
       commandment condemns theft and the feelings of envy, greed, and
       jealousy in reaction to what other people have.
