Today in class we talked about a multitude of things held within the bible. Primarily slavery, the ten commandments, and Our classes Commandments. The first of which I would like to talk about is slavery within the bible. As said in class Moses freed the slaves of Egypt and lead them to safety where eventually he brought forth the ten commandments. This was something that historically was left out of the bibles sold to slaves as they did not want slaves to believe that slavery was wrong, they didn’t want them to revolt and run away. I did not know this prior to class and found it very interesting. In addition to this one of the ten commandments we had talked about in class was “You shall not have any gods before me”. This was very controversial for your class as there was a vast difference in opinions. However I am in agreence with it. I say this because it grants a foundation on which no other rules can take its place. No one else can come along and try and change things up. The ten commandment are moral compasses people should follow to live a prosperous life.
