Ten Commandments

Is God subject to the Ten Commandments? Is He legally bound to them? Could He break them? Would He?

"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me," "You shall not make for yourself an idol..." and "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."
Consider the first three commandments, and the idea of God having a god before himself, worshipping idols or taking His own name in vain. I can't bend my brain far enough to be offended by this idea not because it's blasphemous or unthinkable, but because it's absurd. "Absurd" may not be extreme enough to express the situation. God (rightly) has too high an opinion of Himself to break these commandments, even supposing that He is subject to them.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Here are some questions - what constitutes work to God? If God is everywhere, by which standard of "day" does He calculate when it's the seventh?

Honor your father and your mother....
He has none.

You shall not murder.
This may be the most significant of the commandments in terms of the question of God being able to break them. Can God murder? Murder has been generally defined as the unlawful taking of a human life by another human. Most people don't think of a cat killing a mouse as murder. They don't call it murder when a hunter kills a deer. It's not even murder when a shark kills a human. Further, a judge who sentences a criminal to death is not then tried for murder. Can it then be murder when God kills a person (keeping in mind that all have sinned and that the wages of sin is death)?

You shall not commit adultery.
Considering the fact that we are a lower life form, it probably wouldn't be too far off the mark to suggest His response would be "Yuck!"

You shall not steal
Can He steal what is His by right?

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Why would He, unless He was submitting to someone else for some sort of judgment?

You shall not covet....
Again, if it all belongs to Him, and if He an create more of whatever it is, why would He?


Is He subject to the Ten Commandments? You tell me.
