It was a crime?
No.

Did not yet exist
The Ten Commandments.

Ten Commandments To Win Her Heart Forever

Hide and seek
Seek then hide
Ask and refuse
Refuse then ask
Be the fan-belt
Discover her springs
Warm up her autumns
Heat up her winters
Cool down her summers
Then pamper, flatter

Premium Member Eternity

Equitable reward for time spent on earth. Time on earth has expired. Embrace for there’s no escape. Recipe is found in the Ten Commandments. No sin will enter Heaven. Influence others with your testimony. Treasures should be laid up in Heaven. Your witness is either a Bridge or Barricade.

Ten Commandments

Thou art enjoined to enjoyment,
Exhorted to exultation.
Thy responsibility is to be responsive,
and impishness be thy imperative.


So cherish thy good cheer, 
And be not judicious in jubilation –  
Rather exude exuberance,
For to revel is a revelation, and
It is on pain of death that 
That thou art commanded to Live!

We Must Get On God's Good Side

To get on God's good side, we must pray again and again.
We must pray and ask Jehovah to wash away our sins.
We must treat everybody like a sister or a brother.
We must show Jehovah that we love one another.
Heaven is the reward for all of the good people who have died.
We must obey the ten commandments to get on the Lord's good side.

Premium Member Ottava Rima's Penance

Ottava Rima was made to recite all ten commandments at the next high mass. In her very private room she did write them again and again just like in class. By candlelight she stayed up every night reading aloud with not a hint of sass. She read them at mass; the tenth one by chance began, “There once was a lady from France...”

Broken Rules

I think that I will never see
A rule unbroken; disagree?

Traffic laws, command for games;
Making false insurance claims.

Ten commandments, trespass signs;
People cutting checkout lines.

Litterers and all molesters;
Scammers cheating lame investors.

Those who simply won’t comply;
Laws for them just don’t apply.

Rule creators can’t persuade
Some that rules should be obeyed.

On Painful Throne

We make plans, conspiracies
To capture, Lovers lies
we want a stand, seal proof
escape pricking tongues of youth
Lies, invincible dread
surly we all agree,
ten commandments 
truth concede
in swallowed regions
we confirm
Most in love
we discern
making plans, then tear to shreds
innocent
Hopeful, bless
the soul, who dressed in stone
sets the truth
on painful throne

The Bible Is a How-To Book

The Bible is a how-to book, it teaches people how to gain eternal life.
Please read it and share it with your children and your husband or wife.
It teaches us not to worship false gods and not to steal.
It teaches us not to commit adultery and not to lie or kill.
It teaches us that Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins.
If you read the Bible and obey God's Ten Commandments, you will win.

Stars In Time

If I could go back in time;
I would rename the stars that shine.

Hercules and Perseus would be replaced;
Elijah and Moses would take their place.

The Ten Commandments would shine brightly in the sky;
Reminding us that the zodiac signs were but a lie.

God's promises would be seen above,
As a wonderful sign of his love.

When the time has passed and gone by;
Just remember God never lied.

Spiritual Words

Spiritual Words 
Redeemed, saved from sin. 
Being merciful on his behalf. 
Salvation, through deliverance. 
Covenants, an agreement to keep his law. 
The ten commandments. 
To be faithful under the sun. 
Merciful, showing compassion. 
Faith, trust and belief.  
Justification, humankind not accountable, free of penalty. 
Grace, elegance and beauty. 
Humble, down to earth, giving not receiving.

Premium Member Not Angry - Just Saying

Just saying

You tell me not to work

on the Sabbath

but it's OK to play football 

 

You tell me to keep

the ten commandments

yet you read the bible whilst you're

driving to church

 

You tell me what to pray for

and how to have music ready for rehearsal

yet you don't bring yours

but that is different

 

You tell me God only created

Adam and Eve as two people

and no one else 

but that is as ridiculous as

the big bang theory

G-O-D

If you want to know how to spell best friend, it's spelled G-O-D.
God has been and will always be a very good friend to me.
God is the best friend of all mankind.
He helps us when we get into binds.

God created the Earth in six days and he rested on day seven.
If we abide by the Ten Commandments, we will go to Heaven.
God is my friend and I'm proud to say that I'm his friend too.
If you ever feel unloved, please remember that God loves you.

The Ten Commandments

(fact contest poem)

The ten commandments are easily broken
By those who should of known them well
It's been broken like bunch a broken wings
Like thieves and devil's and demons and malpractioners
They play they games like scorns and home weckers
Like miserable sinners who assume they way to happiness is by ruin another.
The ten commandments are easily broken
By those who should of known them well
For they do ,that's why the world is at it's hell.

Verbum Dei

Twelve men in the beginning
reporting unto God
Ten Commandments to proclaim…
devotional synod

Sacred by their nature born
each man immortal bound
Divinity in every word
salvations thorny crown

Choices come and choices go
judgment waits beyond
The weight incumbent, buried deep
embedded in a psalm

Nine will cloister, locked in place
the future theirs to choose
Decisions based on marble text
—Noah’s Ark in view

Mona Lisa Mother's Day

God's blessings for mothers,
To have their relatives and loved ones near,
The blue sky and the beautiful trees,
The sound of songbirds singing their song,
Friends that keep us company,
The miracles that guide us everyday,
A quiet day of thankfulness,
Many beautiful memories through the years,
Guided by God and the ten commandments.
The miracle of education that enhances our lives.
A church that is harmonious and forever.

Honor Thy Parents

Honoring thy parents is one of the Ten Commandments, that is clear.
If it wasn't for our parents, none of us would be here.
Honor thy parents because that's what we're supposed to do.
They brought you into the world and they love you.

Honor thy parents because they took care of you when you were a child.
If we fail to honor the fifth commandment, the Lord will be riled.
When we honor our parents, it's great in God's eyes.
Honor thy parents and honor them until they die.

Ask Not What God Can Do For You

Ask not what God can do for you, ask what you can do for God.
If you do something that will please The Lord, Angels will applaud.
Give somebody a Bible or take them to church with you.
If you introduce somebody to God, it's a good thing to do.

You can give God a gift by just obeying his Ten Commandments.
Pleasing The Lord is what we should be doing, it truly makes sense.
Offer to help clean your church or give them donations.
If you please God, he'll be happy, that's no exaggeration.
