THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Archaic Code or Eternal Law? - William F Dankenbring - June 1973

William F Dankenbring

Growing numbers of theologians now call the Ten Commandments archaic and obsolete. Should the Ten Commandments be rewritten? The motion picture entitled The Ten Commandments is one of the greatest epic films ever released by Hollywood. It stars Charlton Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner as the Pharaoh of the Exodus. This extravaganza has been seen by millions of moviegoers and has appeared on television. Toward the conclusion of the saga, Moses leads the children of Israel through the towering wall-like waters of the Red Sea and on into the Sinai wilderness to the foot of Mount Sinai. As the thunder booms and lightning flashes, Moses climbs the craggy, quaking mountain. God himself emblazons the Ten Commandments on solid stone. With his own finger, he writes this code of law and delivers it to Moses. It is a dramatic story. But is it merely legend? What relevance do the Ten Commandments have for our day? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
