Perhaps the greatest appeal of the 10 commandments are that it makes human mind simple. eg. "this is right and that's wrong, so that we should do this than that." What a friendly suggestion! However, I would like to know what believers think of the following questions by refering to the 10 commandments.
1. Is it right to kill an innocent to save 2 other innocents?
2. Is it right to kill an innocent to save 100 believers's life?
3. Is it right to lie in order to save 2 innocents life?
4. Is it right to lie in order to save 100 believers' life?
I infer that the ten commandments work well in the world of black and white but not gray.
In my opinion, faced with that dilemma, our abilities of understanding are advancing and broadening. The human uncertainty is diluted by understanding. The gray resolution is determined by the knowledge and experience. it is often called learning and understanding. That you cannot find in 10 commandments.
We do live in the world of gray (or colourful) and I felt so lucky to live in such world, otherwise my life will be bored. ^_^
