The Ten Commandments (Adults)

Introduction

Lesson written by Brian Andrews

1.       What are the Ten Commandments (the list), and what did the Ten Commandments represent to those who originally received them?  Were the Ten Commandments the entirety of the old law?

 

 

2.       Place the giving of the Ten Commandments on a timeline of events for the Israelites (what major events came before and after).

 

 

3.       Retell the giving of the Ten Commandments in full detail.

 

 

4.       Why are the Ten Commandments repeated in Deuteronomy 5?  Does Deuteronomy 6 have any importance to the Ten Commandments?

 

 

5.       Are the Ten Commandments binding today?  When did they or when will they stop being bound upon God’s people?  (Keep your answer to the Ten Commandments as a whole.  We will investigate each commandment individually in lessons to follow.)

 

 

6.       Should Christians take up the endeavor to have the Ten Commandments prominently placed in various locations across the nation?  Why or why not?  Please use scriptural reasoning (i.e. reference scripture in your argument).
