A reader says:
I’m happy that Jesus summarized them down to 2. Much easier to remember 2 rather than 10. Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love your neighbor as yourself. Those two pretty well cover it.
Another says:
I was brought up in an adulterous household with devastating consequences- but the one good thing is that I grew up to be monogamous to the core in my marriage. The ten commandments are just as important today as they ever were. Thanks for doing this lens about them- I never learned them as a child- probably because my folks were unable to teach them. They now have happy monogamous second marriages though, thought I should include that -:)
