What a terrific idea Most carnt keep the other ten though lol

Excellent Idea
Well, Sandy, I just had to get on board for this one.
I would like to mention that the citation of Precept #4 is grossly incomplete, according to Exodus 20:8-11. Unfortunately, the above is all that is ever taught.
And, by the way, my entry takes a bit of liberty inasmuch as there already are 12 Commandments. Hope you don't mind my offering's slight deviation from the contest theme.
Good luck with the judging, because I know it will be difficult!
Lots of love and hugs, B♥nnieQ

What a great idea! Personally I thin there were 15 commandments and somewhere along the ling 5 got edited out!
Great idea! -
Thanks Providence, actually the 10 commandments we talka bout are just grouped for our ease, if you go look at the reference (Deuteronomy Chapter 5) you'll notice that there are more details under the general topics.

quite an interesting contest , and I do hope that noone will get offended by this comment I am about to write( It is merely a joke ) but the 11th one should be" do not get caught breaking the other 10". I do not mean in any way to be sacriligeous with this , and I hope all that know me are mature enough to know the context and geste in which it is meant. I wish you a very succesful contest,
