From the Paper:
"Pastors have to work on Sundays, therefore many of them choose to honor the Sabbath with regards to stopping work on another day of the week. Laymen can follow that pattern and choose a different day of the week in which to honor the Sabbath by stopping all work.The fifth commandment tells the world to honor our parents. This commandment applies to today as well. We can all do things that honor our parents. The world is more open today than it was in the past about abuse, alcohol problems and separated families. Even given these problems however, there are still ways to honor parents by not attacking them and that is in keeping with the commandments.
Do not murder is self explanatory. It is obviously something that fits with today's society for the most part, however there are problems when it comes to capital punishment. Do we have the right to murder if it is a convicted murderer? No. The commandment tells us not to murder therefore it is not up to us to carry out the death penalty. People today point to the bible verses about an eye for an eye, but there is nothing that condones the taking of one of God's children's lives."
