Everyone these days has a difference of opinion about what we should teach our children.
Like everyone else I have an opinion. Here is mine:
I believe we should teach our children the ten commandments of God, because under law or not, they tell children what is right and what is wrong.
In this day, we live in, many would prefer children go their own way. Unfortunately many have, and they have learned the wrong things and think they can do what is wrong with no punishment. Shootings, rapes, murder, stealing and even bullying have become the norm. Many innocent children and people have suffered because of this.
The original Ten Commandments state:
Those of us who are "born-again" and have been sealed by the Holy Spirit unto salvation, still know the importance of living a good life. Sins still cause destruction to our body and mind and those around us.
Simple..yes, true... I believe so.
What do you think?

The Ten Commandments
20 Then God spoke all these words, saying,
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods [b]before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself [c]an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for theLord will not [d]leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of theLord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who [e]stays with you. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Even if only the last 6 commandments were taught, it would make a difference in how people act and live.
Simple..yes, true... I believe so.
