The Ten Commandments passed down by God through Moses to the Israelites were basically moral rules that the followers of the God of Israel were instructed to obey. Unlike Hammurabi’s code, the punishments for violating the law were the same for everyone and were believed to affect their standing in the afterlife. Both of these codes kept social and political order within their society by clearly defining what actions should and should not be done in order to keep peace between the ruler and their subjects. The Ten Commandments were implemented into law during the reign of Israel’s future kings. Israel’s strong focus on religion in their government gave their people insight on how they should behave as well as how the government should conduct their…

The Seven Deadly Sins are the primary base of the Christian religion. They are seven "brilliant tenets" to be an average individual and a genuine Christian. The breakage of each of the "standards" will bring about death in Hell. These 7 capital sins make an unequivocal fringe between what is great and what is awful.

1) I have chosen, “Thou shall not lie” because whenever we lie, we are creating a sin that can be forgiven, or turn into a punishable problem.

Therefore, respecting all Religions can support World Peace so that no stress can lead to violence.…

I believe most people decide when it comes to explicit commandments but I do believe that some people see nothing but their religion and just cannot get themselves to shy away from it.…

And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22.37-38). This correlates with how you treat your loves ones.…
The Divine command theory is a meta - ethical theory which states that an action is obligatory if and only if, it is commanded by God. In this essay, I will examine whether any form of divine command theory is defensible. In defence, I shall begin by looking at the modified theory as proposed by Robert Adams. Secondly, I will attempt to assess objections from Plato, Austin and Wainwright; before proceeding to evaluate whether these objections are successful in demeaning this theory. Let us take the modified version of the divine command theory , as proposed by Robert Adams (1987); in defence of the original theory.…
