“You Might Not be a Mormon*”


Many parody’s have been made about who might or might not most anything or anyone – this is not humorous like those but to give one thoughts about the more serious side of things.  You see it really comes down to the Ten Commandments.  For the Savior said on behalf of himself and his Father – “It you love me, keep my Commandments.”  Now I use the word Mormon in the titles – for there are many who are Mormon’s who don’t understand the full import of the Ten Commandments – but it could be Christians or any other faith which believes and depends on Heavenly Father – and his Son our Savior and use the Holy Bible as part of their Standard Works.  Now some are familiar with the Ten Commandments – but as they have been changed by the various editors of the Holy Bible, therefore I’ve included several differing versions.  In addition, the below is extremely important into getting a clear picture of what the Savior used as the two greatest Commandments. 

Mark 12:28 ¶And one of the ascribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, aHear

pretending to love the Lord
while denying His Word!

1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
