#1 I am your God.

Do not take the name of the Lord, your God in vain.

Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13For six days you shall labour and do all your work. 14But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as you. That darn donkey just won't take a day off!

The first. We all stuff that one up, so it's just downhill from there...that is why we need God's grace to save us. Our efforts are ineffective, like trying to reach a shore 20 miles away under our own power...we need a lifeline from That Distant Shore.

I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before me. This is the single most difficult to keep, even for Christians. It's so easy to chase after and worship the things in life that are desirable. Money, big house, fast cars, phat job..........just to name a few. These things so easily become the "gods" of our lives, and many times we don't even realize it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a nice house, or nice car, or money........the Bible says that we CAN enjoy the "fruit of our labor" ! It's just that the "fruit" has a way of becoming a rotten, moldy idol without our realizing it.

All of them consistently.

I have trouble not coveting my neighbor's wife, in a figurative sense. My literal neighbor's wife is like 60. I don;t have any issue there:)

"Thou shalt not lie." Lying is a defense mechanisms humans use to get out of trouble, or to please themselves or others. Lying is something everyone has done, and is very hard to avoid, when constantly being surrounded by people.

ahh yeah - Babycakes can ya send me the list already ~ then I'll let ya know :)

I think it is probably different for every person. I actually think the 10 commandments are really easy to follow. I just don't want to follow them all of the time. For example, I am not really being obedient to my parents. They don't know I have a boyfriend and I have been with him for over a year. I want to be with him and I don't want to lose him.

Some of them are pure common sense, while others, as well as the seven cardinal sins, basically construct the core of being human and can therefore never be avoided. Everybody lies and everybody envies, but it's pretty easy not to kill someone. :/

To me all of them. But I still try and do my best to obey them.

It's very difficult to tell. I know that the one I actually break the most is the whole "don't take the Lord's name in vain thing." But what really constitutes not following a commandment? Would it be, say, willingness to break it? If that is the case, then I've never in my life followed any of the ten commandments.

G'day Babycakes, Thank you for your question. Not coveting my neighbours wife. Regards

Actually I don't know the 10 commandments so will you be please be kind enough to let me know something about them? (( I only have a rough idead of what they actually are))

the one where i cant kill people...

Honor my mother.

I think I can speak for most people when I say "do not covet". Do you even know what that means? It goes beyond taking. It means that you are not supposed to want what your neighbors have. Why the hell not!?!

I find all of these quite difficult.

Thou shalt not kill... I run into at least 10 people a month that deserve it.. But we all know we can't do that. If not by morality then by self preservation.

Not any are hard to follow if you are committed to God. 1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome."

I'm far far away from perfect, and guilty of breaking them, it's not as easy when Jesus elaborated on them.... Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

The not killing part. Yeah. That didn't work out so well for the other guy.

If you are a true born again Christian having the Lord Jesus Christ in your life you are not required to follow any of the 10 Commandments. They are for non-Christians. See Romans 10:4 for proof.
