All Ten Commandments

God gave man Ten Commandments. Every one of them is vital, in all ages. For only by observing them can man live a full life each week; maintain a happy marriage; and function well in his home, his job, and even in the world internationally.

God Himself is the Root of the Moral Law, and perfectly reflects it. Salvation was never by the works of the Law. For even before the fall, man was to keep it out of gratitude for God’s great grace. Unfallen man kept the whole Decalogue. The Sabbath, Marriage, the Forbidden Fruit, and the Tree of Life all reveal it. When man broke God’s Law, he degenerated more and more—from the Fall to the Flood. The Patriarchs kept it, and the Prophets called man back to keep it. So, too, should we.

Christ never broke it. He said He had not come to destroy but to finish building the Law, and that not one jot or tittle of it would ever fail until heaven and earth themselves pass away. (Matthew 5:17–18) Also subsequently, all His Apostles taught it. So, too, did the Early Church Fathers, King Alfred, Luther, Calvin, and even the great Jurist Sir William Blackstone. It is the very basis of the United States of America, and also of every other Common Law nation in the world. True Christians Love to Keep God’s Law. They shall always do so in Heaven. But all unsaved Law-breakers, will end up in Hell. —Rev. Professor-Emeritus Advocate Dr. Francis Nigel Lee

Read Dr. Nigel Lee's other works.

Dr. Francis Nigel Lee is a man deeply devoted to God. His extensive research and study demonstrates the truth found in Ecclesiastes 12:13, that the fear of God and His Holy Law is what man is all about. Our society, and indeed our civilization, would greatly benefit by a better understanding of the intricate design of God for His creation. Sir William Blackstone in his Commentaries on the Laws of England said it most explicitly, when he stated: Man considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being. I am happy to commend to your reading Dr. Lee’s work God's Ten Commandments: Yesterday, Today, Forever.
—Roy Moore Former Chief Justice, Alabama Supreme Court; President, Foundation for Moral Law, Inc.

Dr. Lee has dedicated his book to former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore (now known as “The Ten Commandments Judge”) for his courageous stance in upholding The Ten Commandments. Judge Moore initially was thrust into the national spotlight in 1997 when he held his ground against a court order demanding that he remove a tablet of The Ten Commandments, which he had carved by hand and hung on the wall alongside his court bench in Etowah County, Alabama. Eventually this led to his placement of the famous 5280-pound Ten Commandments monument in 2001, and his stance not to cave in to pressure from those who brazenly reject God’s Law as the moral foundation of our legal system. A highly respected Constitutional scholar, Judge Moore served as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in Alabama from 2001 until he was removed from office for daring to refuse a liberal judge’s unconstitutional court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the State Supreme Court building. This was a historic and heroic stand for God’s Law, The Ten Commandments.

Judge Moore has shown himself to be a man of valor, integrity, and comprehensive familiarity with the original Constitutional principles, and a stalwart defender of religious liberty. A West Point graduate, he served our country as a U.S. Army Company Commander in Vietnam before earning his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Alabama Law School.

A tireless defender of individual liberties, Judge Moore has been honored by at least three states and dozens of civic organizations, receiving the “Christian Statesman of the Year” award, the “Bill of Rights” award, and the “God and Country” award. My wife, Gail, and I had a wonderful opportunity to meet Judge Roy Moore (and have our picture taken with him) at the Celebration of Justice Banquet of the Pacific Justice Institute, founded by Brad Dacus, at a gala in Orange County, California in 2005, and Judge Moore was the honoree and keynote speaker. Both Dr. Nigel Lee and Judge Roy Moore are gentlemen and distinguished, faithful and courageous servants of our Lord.

The Love of God and of neighbor is the summary of the law and prophets.
Mark 12:28-34
28     And one of the scribes 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, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30     And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31     And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32     And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33     And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34     And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
