Ten Commandments, 1: I Am the Lord Your God 第一誡：我是你的神

"I am the Lord your God" is the basis for ethical monotheism, the idea that there is only one true God (Greek roots: mono = one, the = God), the God that created this world and that God wants us, his children, to behave ethically (= to not do evil to each other): 單神論與自由息息相關。

Let's have a discussion. After watching the video of the First Commandment, please think carefully about these five questions, provided by the Prager University web page for the First Commandment.



1. Explain in your own words what the First Commandment means.

 2. Why do Jews and Christians not agree on the numbering of the Ten Commandments?

 3. What was so world-changing about the Ten Commandments?

 4. What do the Ten Commandments say humans must “do” for God? How does that differ from pre-Ten Commandments religions?

 5. How does the First Commandment teach the importance and meaning of freedom?
