A well-known television host did a story recently about a judge who is attempting to reduce the 10 Commandments down to 6 Commandments. Without going into all the details, I found the host's comments to be very insightful. He wondered what Moses would think about such a travesty.
Moses. Not the author of the commandments. Not the One up in heaven who gave us the commandments. But Moses. Really? Moses?
