The ten commandments: fourth commandment

Today, many, if not most, people believe there is no such thing as absolute truth. The world system has normalized the idea that truth is relative. You can believe what you want, and I can believe what I want because it is my truth. This mindset is called postmodernism. Along with postmodern thinking is the philosophy of moral therapeutic deism, which teaches that God wants everyone to be happy, so we are allowed to do whatever makes us feel good and satisfied.

Three months after freeing the Israelites from slavery, God gathered them at the base of Mount Sinai and gave them the law. His instructions included civil, ceremonial, and moral guidelines for Israel to follow. The moral law is summarized in the Ten Commandments. The first four commandments focus on our relationship with God, while the last six provide guidance on how we should interact with each other.
