You shall not murder
- Murder destroys human life in ways beyond our repair and in the bible murder is therefore punishable by death.
You shall not steal
- Theft is a violation of a person or family.
- Moral duty to help those who are suffering and poor.
Human Experience- Singer- 'Commandments are outdated are are ambigious rules' He also believes that there can never be moral absolutes and also states that human life is no longer valid and all human life is equal- Euthanasia and suicide are acceptable.
Relevance today- White 'Commandments are not absolute' and are guidlines as to how we act and treat people. Embraced by millions throughout the world.
Not relevant today- Absolutist- When it comes to personal ethics the decalogue is out of question. nly for Isreal in Old Testament times and no longer relevant for today.
