Ten Commandments for young people

What is best for our life !

  1. You may not love anyone or anything more than you love GOD.
  2. You may not worship or put more importance on any person or thing, other than God. You must worship only the Lord, not your parents, not a friend, not a movie star or sports hero, not a car, not a skate board. Nothing.
  3. You may not swear. Use God’s Holy Name only in a loving way, never to express anger or frustration.
  4. One day of your week should be set aside for rest and the worship of God. Work six days of the week only. Keep Sunday as a special day set aside to meet with other Christians and relax.
  5. Be respectful to your parents. Love them, and the Lord will reward you with a long life.
  6. You may not hate other people; don’t ever think of hurting someone else in any way.
  7. Keep your thoughts and actions pure.
  8. You may not take and keep anything that doesn’t belong to you.
  9. You may not tell lies, especially when that lie will hurt someone else.
  10. You may not be jealous of what others have. You may not be jealous of your friend’s new clothes or smartphone or the big house your neighbor lives in. Be satisfied with what you have.

The big Crooked Satan Gang!

Satan 

The wicked angel gets kicked out of heaven for going against God; he becomes the gang leader to other angels who joined him in the attempted mutiny. He seeks to destroy all humans by separating them from God forever. He is enemy #1. He is also called serpent, accuser, deceiver, the prince of demons, the enemy, the dragon and the devil. His offenses include fraud, deceit, slander, murder and assault.

Antichrist

An evil being who works for Satan. He has a mouthful of lies and a bag full of tricks to deceive people in the final days of the world before Jesus returns. He’s the tattoo specialist who makes it mandatory for everyone to wear 666 as a pledge of their loyalty to him. He is known as the beast out of the sea.

The false prophet

The Antichrist’s campaign manager appointed by Satan to get people to worship their beastly candidate. He enforces the evil worship and does a lot of the Antichrist’s dirty work. He is the beast out of the Earth. His offenses include corruption and conspiracy.

Demons

They are known to be slick and crafty like their boss Satan and part of Satan’s army consisting of the wicked soldiers and the pack of angels who rebelled against God and get thrown out of Heaven. Their business is evil and their ambition is to make the lives of God’s children still and miserable. Their main offense includes Soul kidnapping.

The whole gang will be sentenced to eternal torment in the lake of fire.
