Many people including myself at one time have asked a certain common question. If God is such a loving, merciful, and all knowing God, then why would he give us these commandments that he knows that we cannot keep? The answer to that question is that God gave Moses and the rest of the world, the Ten Commandments to show us that we cannot make it on our own. He was beginning to familiarize the sheep with the true shepherd instead of the worldly one that they had grown comfortable with, by giving the Ten Commandments. Even if someone could keep 9 of these 10 commandments, breaking one commandment would be equal to breaking them
