I mean, in all fairness, who isn’t batting at least 6 or 7 of the ten? I haven’t committed murder, and assuming you don’t subscribe to the notion that lustful thoughts = adultery, I haven’t done that either. The honoring your mother and father thing also depends on where you draw the line. I’ve never cursed their names, or anything. But I’ve definitely disobeyed and argued with them. I’ve definitely done the rest. So I’m 7-8ish myself, maybe 9 if you’re a stickler and a prude.
That seems to be a matter of debate or denominational disagreement. I was definitely taught that it was all lying in the church I grew up in. But I’m also sure that I probably, at some point growing up, blamed someone else for something that I did to avoid trouble.
Yeah I’m at 9 if you follow Jewish rules of adultery (everyone was on board, but I have slept with people who are married to someone else). 8 if you don’t respect intellectual property. But also I’m a pagan, so these aren’t my religious rules.
she said he’s broken all but two of the commandments. which two hasn’t he broken? I don’t know all the commandments… 🙃

Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.

He is 10 for 10 as far as I can tell.

You’ve given false testimony?
Have I lied? … yeah. So have you. So has everybody. Hell, it’s a significant child development stage.
False testimony (or false witness) isn’t just lying in general - it’s slander.
